850 - 1130 KM (Hat Yai)
Posted by Stuart at 06:27 PM on October 15, 2003Tonight's resting spot is Hat Yai, in Songkla province. The drive down the eastern coast of Thailand from Nakorn Si Thammarat was very relaxing and uneventful.
Before we hit the road this morning, though, we visited a few temples in the old section of Nakorn Si Thammarat. One temple in particular (Wat Phra Mahathat) was first built in 555 AD. Wow. The current chedi that we saw when we visited today, was built in the 1200s. (Still pretty darn old.)
A couple of hours later we stopped for food in Songkla, where we ate seafood on the beach. Then it was on to nearby Hat Yai to spend the night. Tomorrow: Malaysia!
