Grass outside the Great Wall: Cycling Laotai D11 Days

On the day of 2023.3.16, Shaoyun, with a temperature of 25-32 ℃, today’s trip is to take the “Hotel and Restaurant” – “La Ya Grand Hotel” in Khola Ratchasima, Thailand.

In the morning, it’s just dawn, and riders have come downstairs fully equipped.

In the morning, the weather is cool, which is conducive to riding on the road.

After entering Thailand for three days, riding in the scorching sun every day is a test of both physical ability and willpower.

After noon every day, the temperature rises, heat waves hit, and everyone is sweating profusely.

You must stop for water replenishment after about 20 kilometers.

“Pepsi Cola” has become the first choice.

Drink a bottle of it and continue on your journey.

The Thai highway is very good, surpassing domestic highways.

In China, I have also stolen highways for riding many times.

Although the road surface is smooth and does not climb steep slopes, I am nervous and nervous all the way, often with police cars roaring and chasing me from behind.

Although I am not fined and detained, I am like escorting fugitives, driving you off the highway from the next exit.

When riding on the mountains of western Yunnan, the national highway spiraled and climbed continuously.

It happened that there was a gap in the highway.

Shortly after secretly riding on it, it was driven down by a police car.

“Dashan was in front, and Yu Xin was unwilling to sneak into the highway again.

Shortly after riding, a car collided on the highway, and the traffic police were at the scene of the accident.

We also arrived just in time, and were caught by the traffic police.”.

Those same traffic policemen who were arrested twice a day were recidivists and nearly sent to the station.

Since then, I have learned a lesson, changed my ways, and easily stopped riding at high speed.

This AH12 highway in Thailand leads directly to Bangkok, with a wide and flat road surface, not a highway, rather than a highway.

The non motorized lanes on both sides are up to three meters wide, unlike domestic highways, which are narrow beyond the white line.

The non locomotive roads in Thailand are not only very wide, but cars never cross the white line.

There is a sense of security when riding here.

The beauty is that the weather is too hot.

Fortunately, there are trees on the roadside, so you can hammock and take shelter from the heat.

Today, I cycled more than 120 kilometers and arrived at “Nakhon Ratchasima” at 3 pm.

Baidu Navigation, following the map, is looking for a hotel, but unfortunately the rooms are full.

Turning the street and searching again, it was difficult to find a hotel, so I had to stay at the “La Ya Hotel” with a standard room of 850 Baht, equivalent to 170 yuan, setting a record for the highest consumption of accommodation.

The strange name “Nakhon Ratchasima” is 250 kilometers from Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, and I will try to arrive in two days.

The Thai baht exchanged at the port has not much left, lacks silver, and is restless in sleep and food.

It is called a journey of poverty.

Without silver, it is impossible to move at any pace.

On March 16, 2023, in Thailand’s “Nakhon Ratchasima” Laya Hotel, a religious spot can be seen everywhere.

On the roadside, a large plane can be seen sitting on the lawn in front of a large plane, taking a photo of a hammock in the public inspection sign booth at AH12, a milestone on Thailand’s highway, to avoid the scorching sun.
