Continuing my series, this is my latest road trip, to Chaosamran beach in Phetchaburi province.

It had been a few weeks since my last motorcycle trip, so I decided to head out into the highway.

Total Distance: Approx 320 km

Unlike the more popular beaches near Bangkok, Chaosamran beach is on the eastern coast of Thailand, just short of Cha Am and Hua Hin.

I left on a monday morning, so getting out of Bangkok was painful, with many traffic hot spots. Once out of the metropolitan area, I found the highway quite similar to Pattaya and Ayutthaya. Not very pleasant to ride a motorcycle on.

Having already crossed the running-in period, I opened the throttle a few times and touched 120 kmph at a few spots.

Thankfully, the weather has cooled down by some amount, so the ride was comfortable.

Once in Phetchaburi province, off the main highway, the roads were surrounded by lush green fields and I enjoyed the ride more at a sedate 80 kmph.

The beach, itself was almost empty of both tourists and vendors. It was quite peaceful to sit on the sea wall with my legs hanging over the ledge (Reminded me of our Futala lake jaunts).

However, the sun was still quite strong, so my skin started burning soon, so I left for a nice coffee and snacks at this cafe.

Soon, leaving the comfort of the air conditioning, I started my trip back home. I did most of the return trip between 110-120 kmph and reached home under 2 hours.

Thank you for reading!
