| I have never heard of this place before and we are going to stay there for a night so let's check it out at Sathing Phra. |
 |
| As usual we rolled out early in the morning and the weather was excellent. |
 |
| Food was easily available and it was delicious. |
 |
| A simple meal of porridge that was cheap, fast and yummy. |
 |
| Taking our turns to pick our personal choice of ingredients for the porridge. |
 |
| Eating at the roadside where our route was, it was so convenient. |
 |
| A common scene in the morning where you can see monks moving around and giving blessing to the people. |
 |
| Visiting a couple of temples along the way. |
 |
| We gave away some extra food stuff to this old lady we met at this temple. |
 |
| Another old temple we briefly visited. |
 |
| Patric was always stopping and buying food at wherever and whenever he could....obviously we have no complaint we get to eat his purchases. |
 |
| Sweet mango bought & cut by Patric. |
 |
| Here we were approaching the beach of Sathing Phra. |
 |
| And we saw this huge wind turbine standing next to the sea side. It is a electric generating turbine as it rotates above we could hear the humming sound. Below is an interesting video I extracted from the net showing the construction of the turbine & a wind disaster at this place itself. |
 |
| Provincial Electricity Authority of Thailand - Wind powered project for another alternative energy resources without burning any fuel or natural resources....how nice indeed. |
 |
| So much of wind turbine and it's back to food again just right in front of the turbine. I requested this aunty to cook a Kuay Teow Ladna for me. |
 |
| Kuay Teow Ladna is actually Watan Hor in Kuala Lumpur and it's with a generous amount of ingredients. |
 |
| We sampled the Ladna under this nice bamboo gazebo on a beautiful beach. |
 |
| Nothing like a rest on a hammock after a refreshing break....how wonderful life is. |
 |
| A family run resort called "Sathing Pura" not new but good enough for a night stay. As usual our budget was around 450 baht per chalet which complied in perfectly. |
 |
| After unloading my stuffs, washed whatever we need to wash and within half an hour we were out looking for lunch. |
 |
| I like the under developed surroundings no tarmac, relatively clean and the blue sea. |
 |
| At the main road leading to Songkla we found this place for another good lunch. |
 |
| Plain rice with braised pork seems to be my regular food in Thailand, I like it in South Thailand it's not that sweet as compared the last time I tried in Bangkok. |
 |
| Those meats hanging a the show case just could not escape my "Thumjiak-ness" we just had to order it and it was awesome. |
 |
| This elderly man has been observing us the minute we entered the shop I was wondering what was he thinking about and I am sure he has gone through many interesting episodes in his life. Just couldn't resist myself I approached him for a photo shot together and he happily obliged. Til then my dear elder long live Sir. |
 |
| Patric trying his hands on Som Tum making as we were scouting around the areas for a place to dine later in the evening ...... |
 |
| Somewhere nearby there is this resort called Ao Thai Resort with a room rate of 1500 baht per night nice and cosy. |
 |
| Our dinner place on the fourth day. |
 |
| The moon was very bright and beautiful that evening. |
 |
| We had an interesting ride back to the resort in total darkness and on off road. |
 |
| Good night Sathing Phra tomorrow we will be heading to Songkhla. |
