We slept well and quiet in our little Bungalow in Ban Thang Sai. Except one Moskito 🦟 mid-sleep chase. In the morning I practiced some calisthenics before we were heading to see the big Buddha statue and the most impressive temple Prah Mahathat Chedi Pakdee Prakas of our trip so far! Just mindblowing. The construction, the interior, the view from the top. All of it was perfection! 
Next to the Buddha statue we had a little breakfast consisting of bananas 🍌 and two coconuts 🥥 
From there on we went further down the coast until we reached a small beach where the Coral Hotel served us some delicious vegan Thai food. With that nourishment we were ready to go. The plan today was 160km to Chumphon, but we made a little extra loop to the bay of Ban Tha Aet where you can see multiple islands and water rocks and part of the further east coast of Thailand. We took a little break with drinks and made our way back, but took another turn to Thung Yang Beach where we decide  to do a little climb 🧗‍♂️ up on one of those hills with a flag and lookout on top. This quite challenging climb took us a little while, but was totally worth it. When we continued our ride, sundown set in. We stopped a few kilometres later for the white Buddha statue of the Wat Kaew Prasert Temple 🛕
You could ride the whole absurdly steep way up to the statue what I did to enjoy the view over the bay. Then we started our night ride in direction of Chumphon. Luckily we found another place with vegan menu along the way at Ao Bo Mao Bay right on the beach 😍
A few kilometres from there further down the coast we found a little cabin to spend the night. Tomorrow waits another big ride for us! Our butts are hurting 😭
