My longest day ride and i am burnt to the maximum, even now resting in guesthouse,my whole body is like an oven,kept drinking water.Just imagine for 7 hour 38 min almost 120km under hot sun to arrive at Thakhek,a town situated opposite to Nakhon Phanom,Thailand over the Mekong River.Surprisingly,there is very few guesthouses here,only saw 2-3 expensive looking hotels along the riverside,round and round found one but was 300m from the main road but looks like out of business as nobody was around to serve me. I back track to the roundabout and searching on the road to Sanavakhet,finally settled in Thipphachanh hotel for a not so good room 60k kips to quickly go for a cold shower to cool down my body temperature. So annoying that i couldn't really rest well cos' there is a wedding dinner and karaoke going on full blast.It's ridicules,the wedding and karaoke was held in an open hall,how on earth the hotel guests( me)going to sleep well?

Could you see the rolling end of this road?

There were many of these rollings

Cloudless hot day
