Going for breakfast to what must be the only muslim restaurant in town we were pleasantly surprised to meet 5 Bikers (motorcycle Big Bikers). 4 of whom were Malaysians going for breakfast to the same place. All were excited to meet at a most unlikely place and to think that that the bikers took only a day or two to reach Chumpon while Din and I took 12 days to reach the same place. They were in Chumpon taking part in some motor show and from the way they were dressed, they looked awsome in their leather outfits. Among them was a lady rider Nor Zaridah (Lady Biker) from Jitra, Kedah. She also has a place in Surrey, England. Then there's Olaf Bartelsen from Norway ; Mohd Said bin Johari from Sungai Udang; Sanglee, a Director of Bike Riders Sdn Bhd; and Azizan Mat who must be the leader of the group. I believe he is a Dato' or Datuk. He is the former Political Secretary to Tan Sri Kadir Sh Fadzir. And best of all the group was in the care of a gsweet young Thai lady Naruemon (Gai) . We all had nasi goreng udang for breakfast and and it goes without saying that Din and I had a free breakfast. Thank you guys for the sweet memories. I hope to be seeing Naruemon (Gai) when I get to Hua Hin where she stays. She's supposed to play host to us, if I am right.
We finally left Chompon at 11.30 by the coastal road as we wanted to experience the rural areas and avoid the highway. While the roads were mostly quiet, the beaches and the sea were beautiful and inviting. We actually travelled more kilometers than intended and failed to reach our intended destination. We made a number of wrong turns and had to backtrack losing precious time and distances. We moved on and ended in Amarit, 6 km away in the opposite direction. Here again we had to stay in a Motel that looked like a garage. Well, at least we had a roof over our head.
