For the first time in a few months I was out on two wheels this morning, and I don’t mean the motorised type. Hua Hin is a great place for bicycles if you get out of the centre of town where you’re likely to end up as roadkill. Take the canal road north and turn off any of the bridges on the left and pedal towards the hills. You will soon find yourself in open country side surrounded by plantations, fields, lakes and a housing estate or twelve. The roads here are quiet both from noise and traffic so you can take it at a leisurely pace and enjoy the scenery. The closer you get to the hills the more rural it becomes with cattle crossings, local kids playing in streams, rickety old houses and the occasional Buddhist shrine. The contrast between downtown Hua Hin and the surrounding country lanes just a few kilometers away is astounding, what a great way to spend the first couple of hours of the day!
