Wanderlust : Day Trip to Suan Phueng

Continuing my series, this is my latest road trip, to Suan Phueng, in Ratchaburi Province.

Total Distance: Approx 380 km

The route began better than the previous trip, no Rama 2 road. However, the route onwards is not as scenic.

The first stop on my trip was the Huai Mai Teng reservoir, which was “meh”.

The best part of the trip was riding up the hills towards the Myanmar border in Suan Phueng.

I stopped at this small and non-church-looking church and headed back.

On the way back, I had plans to stop at these caves, but as soon as I slowed down near the entrance, a gang of monkeys started chasing me, so I skedaddled.

Overall, a bit underwhelming compared to the last one, which I would love to do one more time.

Also, unfortunately, the weather was unbearably hot the entire time and there was no rain, which I enjoy riding through.
