Day 9: 140km Trang - Krabi 

Left at about 730am from Trang, besides than the odd afternoon dew - the sun was out in its glorious sublimity and splendor. Basically it was insanely hot. With a steady slight incline all the way, there was also no roadside tree shades to hide from the mindless scorching heat. To be fair, there was a massive 20 km of non stop downhill from Khlong Thom onwards, so that's a tremendous plus.



Left early, stopped by the morning market but boy, these Trang-ians really do love their babi. Being so early in the morning and the smell of grilled pork are permeating through the market. Bought some plain grilled glutinous rice wrapped in banana leafs as fuel pods. Breakfast was some dry crackers and bottled milk. The roads were very uppity-downie as i transcend the adjacent valleys, which made for some slow riding and intense sweating. The afternoon yielded more heat and more hills.



DONE! This big eagle statue marked the end of my odd 700km Shah Alam - Krabi trip. If it were entirely up to me, I would probably continue all the way up north. Until Bangkok? Siem Reap? Vientiane? Who knows, but I had to get back to KL because I'm starting a new job less than 4 days away. But looking back now, schyeahh I should have just called them up and cancel everything. But oh well, I'm currently plotting my next trip - to China, hopefully somewhere in mid 2014. Whereby I'll start off from this same Krabi eagle statue, from zero km.

Aftermath: Krabi - Hatyai - KL
Stayed an extra day to recuperate, pedaled to Ao Nang, swam in the sea, had mcdonalds, met up with the local couchsurfers. The next day i took an 8 hour bus ride to Hatyai, and next morning another 8 hour bus ride back to KL. Yea. End.
