sure the mountain pass must be close.  As it turned out, it was a delightful easy-to-ride pass with a great 5 km downhill and the end.  Yes, there was a steep incline but it was in my favour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nakhon Ratchasima is just a big city, not much to see.  I was disappointed so I did a bit more research and changed my route to include Phi Mai to the North.  It was a good decision from a cycling and a sightseeing perspective.  Phi Mai has a beautiful old Khmer Temple.  A very small version of Angkor Wat.  The Khmer built these amazing temples all over SE Asia, circa 12 century.  The archirecture, design and construction are truly wondrous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8 is-layout-flex

Scott is from Melbourne, he has taken a year off work to go cycling.  When we met he had already cycled across Northern USA (Portland, Oregon to NY City).  Very similar to Andre&#8217;s ride at much the same time.  Then he rode from Paris to Athens before flying into SE Asia to cycle here.  We explored the historical park together and then went to the night market for supper.  Nice to have met him.  Somehow we didn&#8217;t get a pic together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-9 is-layout-flex

These two cities are only 40 km apart so I was undecided about where to stay.  After Phi Mai, the ride to Lam Plai Mat was a nice 67 kms so that was my destination.  What a good decision that turned out to be.  I checked in to an hotel and headed to a local restaurant for dinner where I got into conversation with a Thai family at the next table. The Mom, Lalitha, speaks good English and was happy to translate for the family. When I told them that I was going to Buri Ram the next day and hoping to see some of the shrines and temples, Lalitha said to stay an extra day and she would take me to Buri Ram and show me around.  The answer is always &#8220;YES&#8221; so I checked in for another night in the hotel and the next afternoon we went to Buri Ram. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"678\" height=\"509\" data-attachment-id=\"4188\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/cyclefoodfun.co.za\/?attachment_id=4188\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cyclefoodfun.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Tongchai-Family.jpg?fit=1477%2C1108&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1477,1108\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"Tongchai-Family\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cyclefoodfun.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Tongchai-Family.jpg?fit=678%2C509&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cyclefoodfun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Tongchai-Family-1024x768.jpg?resize=678%2C509&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cyclefoodfun.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Tongchai-Family.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cyclefoodfun.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Tongchai-Family.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cyclefoodfun.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Tongchai-Family.jpg?w=1477&amp;ssl=1 1477w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cyclefoodfun.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Tongchai-Family.jpg?w=1356&amp;ssl=1 1356w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Tongchai Family sharing a very delicious Thai Barbecue<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First we had to visit the City Pillar Shrine, pay our respects and make an offering.

on big busy roads as I passed through large cities (Ayutthaya, Saraburi, Nakhon Ratchasima and Lam Plai Mat) so I was pleased not to have to go to Buri Ram but turn South instead and take the smaller country roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is my real joy when I cycle, being fit and strong, following country roads through jungle, mountain, rice paddies, sugar cane plantations, cassava plantations and being closer to nature.  The next few days were fabulous as I made my way slowly back to Bangkok through Pha Kham, Kho Khlan, Sa Kaeo and Phanom Sarakham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images

Bangkok on 6th December.  I had a great journey in Thailand and a fabulous  adventure in Indonesia.  I spent a week exploring Bangkok, finding delicious street food, visting Chinatown by day and by night, sipping beer in Sukhumvit and watching the passing parade, so many different people.  I rode the canal boats, the sky train, the undergound trains and caught buses and Grab bikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped
