Was in 2 minds whether to use route 34 as I've seen in the news that Samut Sakhon is currently flooded. Alternatively, I can choose to take route 4 which is roughly 80km longer.
I decided to bite the bullet and go for route 34. Much to my surprise, it wasn't flooded at all. Great!
I rode southwards stopping near Petchaburi for fuel and drinks and at the 'floating market' near Hua Hin for a short look around since I'm ahead of schedule and got time to burn. The so called 'floating market' is just tourist attraction made up of many little small shops built around a man made lake. Very boring for me. Had my lunch and moved on after about 45 mins there.
Reached Prachuap Khiri Khan at about 6.30pm and checked in to Lily's guest house where I stayed before previously. Called my parents and was informed that their train will arrive at about 8.30pm. (1 hr behind schedule)
The guesthouse loaned my their 3 wheeler (bike + sidecar) to go to the train station to pick up my parents.
It's damn hard to control initially but I gained confidence handling it in no time at all. We went for dinner at the local food centre and a ride around the little town before returning to the guesthouse to rest at 11pm.
