We slept in, recovering from the 1000km travelled over the past two days. Here is a photo of our hotel room.

After a late breakfast, we checked out and were on our way by 12:32pm – but our first stop was just around the corner. We wanted to visit the Adventist Language School, but when we arrived, we found that it was closed due to the public holiday. It was the King’s Birthday, which is also father’s day in Thailand.

Then it was time to pick up our laundry.

The road was very good, with very little traffic. We averaged 121km/h for about the first 50kms. It is easy to how!

A quick stop for lunch at one of the many 7-Eleven stores.

The whole day was just flat terrain, much like the previous days, but as we weren’t following the Mekong any more, the roads were also fairly straight.

We checked into a small room in a large motel complex – it was cheap, but run down. We walked down the road for a nice dinner to finish of the day.
