The distance between Bangkok and Penang is well over 1000 Km. It was a 2 hr drive form Bangkok to Petchaburi; from there an eight hr drive to Hat Yai and a further 3 hr drive to Penang. Though it can be boring at times, I have always enjoyed sights and food along the way.
It always amazes me how much Thai pick up trucks can carry! It is a common to see goods pile up sky high & wrap in canvas. But this one beats all in pushing the limits.. even my Thai friends were amused! OMG, we even saw a motorbike strapped over the driver's cabin as we passed it!
Looked precarious as it tilted while over taking a motorbike!
A welcome stop for toilet break.
Open men toilets are the norm even at restaurants.
See how much a pick up truck can carry! Resourceful, isn't it?
A detour off the main road for lunch break. This road side restaurant is rather special, order the Kanom Chin (a rice noodle in curry) and help yourself with dozens of veggie dishes as much as you can stomach! Only locals and well traveled may know their existence
Seated are P'Jiap, P'Moo & P'Mor; all from Ban Laem, Petchaburi.
We were told more than 40 bird houses in town. Being camouflage and blend in with the shop houses, need keen eyes and guide to point out where they are!
The largest in town.
Final touches to my friend's farm house.
An established farm house nearby.

There was A LOT of food at the gathering though, so it looked like a lot of them took a half piece. Viagra Online Got lots of compliments on it. I froze the remaining slices and keep them in the freezer.
