The bike ride was definitely worth the hassle of getting there. The initial incline was gradual – we headed pretty much due west to the town of Ranong. By brunch, we had crossed most of the Kra peninsula – to the town of Kraburi, a distance of about 60km. We finished the ride in Ranong, around 4pm, traveling about 120km in just over 6 hours of biking time.

The road was great for biking – gradual inclines, little traffic, wide lanes and shoulders, almost no potholes, and fantastic scenery. The people we passed all greeted us with calls, horn honks, or curious stares. Here are a few of our pictures from Monday.
great post! sounds like lots of fun and hard work, too -- 126km?!? that sore butt index and those ice creams are justified :)
