Klaus Kent settled in a 600 baht/night hotel at Karon Beach (note that the same room during high season-October through December—would be 1800 baht/night), while the Siamerican Wanderer jumped between visiting with Klaus at Karon and family in Phuket city on the east side of the island.</p> <p>Throughout the week, sea conditions weren't ideal for beginner surfers, with choppy- frequently breaking waves, riptide, and dangerous conditions calling for red flags on the beach. </p> <p><img src="http://www.siamerican.com/images/roadtrip/karonredflag.jpg" /></p> <p>Nonetheless, the two attempted one day, renting surfboards at Kata beach just south of Karon beach. It was a failure at surfing, and the two were exhausted from paddling down the coast, never making it out far enough to catch any real wave.</p> <p>The return date was set for Tuesday, June 17. The Siamerican met Klaus Kent at the hotel approaching noon, and they loaded their bags and tied the motorbike down in the truck bed, hitting the road, northbound for Central Thailand.</p> <p><img src="http://www.siamerican.com/images/roadtrip/truckbridge.jpg" /></p> <p>After crossing Sarasin Bridge, instead of heading north towards Ranong, they cut east and ultimately north and east again through Surathani meeting up with the Asia Highway 41. </p> <p>Approaching sunset, they found themselves in Lung Suan district exactly opposite of Ranong on the other coast. Passing through the congested market, they drove some 10 kilometers east to the beach, happening upon the 99 Bay Resort for a reasonable 600 baht/night air conditioned seaside bungalow. </p> <p><img src="http://www.siamerican.com/images/roadtrip/klauslungsuan.jpg" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.siamerican.com/images/roadtrip/lungsuanbeach.jpg" /></p> <p>Chumporn’s coast proved to be quiet, serene, unspoiled and worthy of future visits. </p> <p><img src="http://www.siamerican.com/images/roadtrip/chumporn2.jpg" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.siamerican.com/images/roadtrip/chumporn.jpg" /></p> <p>Wednesday’s drive north on Asia Highway was swift and short four hours to Hua Hin, where it was decided to meet up with some friends for one more night before heading to Bangkok the next day.</p> <p>Some three hours and 200 kilometers later, they were finally back in the Thai Capital, marking the waning hours of the trip. Klaus Kent stayed one more night in Bangkok with the Siamerican before parting and heading back to his life back in Jomtien the next day. </p> http://thailand-usa.com/community/topic.php?id=8#post-18 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 17:28:09 +0000 siamerican 18@http://thailand-usa.com/community/ <p>Hua Hin to Ranong</p> <p>Sunday, June 8th's driving commenced late morning. Continuing down Asia highway 4, outside of Chumporn, the the route splits South West making the Isthmus crossing parallel to the Myanmar-Thailand river through rugged and green curving mountain roads</p> <p>Made it to downtown Ranong with an hour of daylight left. Within minutes of entering downtown, came to the Asia hotel, and settled in a 500 AC room at Asia Hotel. </p> <p>The evening in the cool and quiet border town turned out to be a relaxing ordeal featuring a filling Thai meal of Curry, fish cakes and chicken topped off with a clean and energizing massage adding up to about 1000 baht (33 bucks) between the two.</p> <p>Next morning, it was time to hit the road again for the third and final segment of the leg. </p> <p><img src="http://www.siamerican.com/images/roadtrip/hwy4phanga.jpg" /></p> <p>After several hours of winding and scenic coastal bends, a lunch stop was made near Kao Lak beach, just a few hours north of Phuket island.</p> <p><img src="http://www.siamerican.com/images/roadtrip/hwy4phanga2.jpg" /></p> <p>Approaching ever closer to destination, anticipation and expectations began to build, until finally crossing Sarasin bridge mid afternoon. </p> <p><img src="http://www.siamerican.com/images/roadtrip/sarasinbridgecross.jpg" /> </p> http://thailand-usa.com/community/topic.php?id=8#post-17 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 11:37:38 +0000 siamerican 17@http://thailand-usa.com/community/ <p>Jomtiem-Pattaya to Hua Hin:</p> <p>The first official day of the road trip covered some 400 kilometers driving up and around the Gulf of Thailand bend on highway 7 from Pattaya up to the Thai capital, crossing the Chao Phraya river via the Mega Bridge in Samut Prakarn and connecting to Rama II (Highway 35) heading west bound through Samut Sakorn and Samut Songkhram. Just past Samut Songkhram, the venture headed south on a shortcut coastal route to Cha-ahm where they merged back onto Southbound Hwy 4 , seeing arrival in Hua Hin just prior to the Sun's setting. </p> <p>With the truck parked near a dock, a downtown survey was conducted on foot before finding a nice sea view-breeze luring room on the 7th floor for 900 baht (about 27USD).</p> <p><img src="http://www.siamerican.com/images/roadtrip/huahin.jpg" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.siamerican.com/images/roadtrip/huahin2.jpg" /></p> <p>Having been over-exposed to and thus spoiled by the Isarn (Lao heritage influenced Northeastern Thailand) working girl populated bar scenes of Thailand, Hua Hin's after dark, narrow neon lit sois (secondary street--painted with dozens of beer and pool bars whose primary occupants were idle and hungry girls calling out to a dearth of customers in tourism's low season--presented little of a spectacle for our epic's tamed and seasoned expat travelers, who indifferently strolled through the heart of the 'wow-kum sir, come in pease' bombardment of invitations.</p> <p>Despite the oversupply of temptation, debauchery wouldn't be on the night's itinerary which ended after a seaside Thai meal and a few games of pool before retiring to their quarters. </p> http://thailand-usa.com/community/topic.php?id=8#post-16 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 11:32:30 +0000 siamerican 16@http://thailand-usa.com/community/ <p>Bangkok/Pattaya to Phuket, back and everything in between.</p> <p>On Saturday, June 7, 2008, American expat, Klaus Kent and the Siamerican Wanderer departed Klaus's Jomtien (beach-town south of Pattaya)condo in Kent's new Mitsubishi Triton Diesel truck with the Siamerican's Kawasaki ZX 130 snuggly tied down to the bed.</p> <p>Armed with clothes stuffed Packs, Notebook computers, Maps, a guitar, and a craving for adventure, the two set off with a loose itinerary of making the Phuket destination within three days, allocating time to make overnight stops along the enchantment promising Isthmus of Kra crossing route.</p> <p>After eight days in Phuket, the two made their way back, deciding on a different route to get across the scenic rich Isthmus of Kra. Several days later, they would find themselves in the place where they had begun trying to piece together the last few weeks' sights, sounds, memories, significance, purpose, and value.</p> <p>For the windup to this trip, see the <a href="http://www.siamerican.com/back-to-the-south-bangkok-pattaya-phuket-road-tripback-to-the-south-bangkok-pattaya-phuket-summer-break-road-trip/">Siamerican Wanderer's personal blog account</a> </p> http://thailand-usa.com/community/topic.php?id=7#post-15 Fri, 16 May 2008 23:06:55 +0000 siamerican 15@http://thailand-usa.com/community/ <p>Sorry for the slow response. On the internet, there seems to be many recipes for โจก Jok. Here is an example recipe from </p> <p><a href="http://importfood.com/recipes/thai_congee.html" rel="nofollow">http://importfood.com/recipes/thai_congee.html</a></p> <p><code><br /> <pre><code>l</code></pre> </code>Boil jasmine rice with water, salt, and oil on medium heat. Keep stirring constantly until the rice is very soft and breaks apart (30-45 minutes).</p> <p>Prepare the traditional stock using bullion cubes or pork bones.</p> <p>Scoop about 1 1/2 cups cooked rice into another medium sized soup pot with 1 cup broth. Bring it to a boil, stirring, and season with a bit of soy sauce. Adjust the flavor as you prefer.</p> <p>Transfer to a serving bowl. Top with cooked seafood, mushroom, onion and cilantro. Sprinkle with Thai pepper powder. Add a touch of dried ground chile at the end for added flavor. Serve hot and enjoy!<br /> <code><br /> <pre><code>t</code></pre> </code><br /> Another recipe is at:</p> <p><a href="http://www.thaifoodandtravel.com/features/congee.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.thaifoodandtravel.com/features/congee.html</a></p> <p>Next time you're in Thailand, you should stock up on a the instant congee packets available everywhere: Simply add hot water and other fixings.

It's quite a scenic trip and can comfortably be done in two days, or even three or more with lots of sightseeing thrown in. I'm planning to bring along a tent this time to set up camp along the beach somewhere, perhaps in Chumporn or Prachuap.
