I love internet cafe's

Not only are they cozy, and airconditioned...but also dirt cheap!!!
So I left Bangkok yesterday morning and went to Sri Racha. My last night in Bangkok was nuts and it involved celebrating the queen with literally millions of pink-shirted Thais, but also going to a karaoke bar where the only english songs were Elvis Presley...haha ohhhh maannn. In Sri racha my hotel room was directly over the ocean on these crazy stilts. I felt kinda bad going to the bathroom but what could I do?
At first the town seemed kinda boring...until I went to Ko Loi temple. in a pond outside the temple had a pool full of sea turtles that you could feed cuttlefish for 10 baht. It was ammaaaaazing! For dinner I had a nice oceanview on this very japanese restaurant (I sat on the floor with a tatami) and ate what was quite possibly the single spiciest food I've ever eaten in my life. It looked like a harmless salad but my god. I went to bed early because of my ride, but would have liked to go out. They had quiet a few music venues but what can you do? Soooo today I took the 70 km ride to Rayong (sp?) It was a long ride but not too strenuous. It was actually quite flat sooo it was nice...minus the traffic. I never thought there'd be this many cars, trucks, buses and motorbikes this far from Bangkok but I guess not...There were a couple of close calls but Thai drivers are surprisingly curteous to cyclists. It was really nice. On the highway there is even a lane for motorbikes and bicycles. I stopped off at a few roadside stands and caused quite a comotion being a scantily clad white guy riding down on a bike. And don't even get me started on the flat tire....it's like the whole village decided to come out and help me...
Rayong seems nice and once it cools down a bit I might do a little sightseeing. There's a pretty cool looking market in the town center.
Tomorrow I cruise off to Chanthaburi and from there to Trat where I'll hangout for a few days and probably go visit the nearby island for a night of beachside relaxation.
Anyways that's my life right now. I think I'm going to go aloe up my legs...they HURT!!!!!
