We wake up late, we didn't sleep well in the Bann Pantai Resort in Cha-am. We have to get used to a new environment.
The breakfast is as we are used to here, there is plenty of choice from Western and Thai food. Even though it's a buffet, the coffee is brought to our tables, just like the fried eggs.

After breakfast we go for a walk along the beach. We notice that the beach is not really clean, there is a lot of junk, especially plastic.

Then we see someone along the boulevard who rents bikes, bikes that look reasonably good and are high enough. We walk there, try out two bicycles and rent them for 24 hours. It takes some time getting used to the bikes, we are used to e-bikes in the Netherlands.
We want to cycle to the market, but Petchkasem Road is a problem, we don't dare to cycle there because there are road works.
We then cycle along the beach.
It is very hot.

We take a rest and cool down in the hotel.
We decide to have lunch in the Kong Samut Seafood Restaurant. We go there on our bikes.
The restaurant is not very busy, we order food. The food is brought fairly quickly.
In the meantime we see a small lizard swimming in the river next to the restaurant.

After dinner we go to the massage salon where we were yesterday. Tom wants to rid his feet of calluses; Pia wants a massage. Because the massage takes a long time Tom goes back to the hotel.

Then it goes wrong, Tom gets stomach ache and diarrhea.
Unfortunately no dinner in the hotel restaurant as was our plan. Pia is going to eat some rice soup on the beach.
