We are 6 hours ahead of UK time and today, Monday, we set off at sunrise. The weather started OK after heavy rain during the night and we hear that there is a typhoon over Burma which could be heading our way.

Our first stop was at a temple where we received a bllessing from the Buddhist monks and gave alms. After that we continued cycling along flat roads in quite hot conditions with just one short downpore. People at the side of the road and in vehicles continue to cheer us. Quite differernt from the UK!

Overall we covered 64 miles.

Tomorrow we will be cycling 53 miles and crossing the border into Cambodia from which point we will be cycling on dirt tracks.
