From the south of Thailand, both east and western coastline all the way to Bangkok and down to Pattaya and finally the Gulf of Thailand coastline all the way to Trat bordering Cambodia.

I did not really do it intentionally but it sort of just happened since the coastline of Thailand is beautiful with lots of little stops and perfect overnight cities along the way to rest up while exploring nearby. Ironically, the part of coastline I missed out are the ones bordering Malaysia.
From Trat to Rayong, I skipped the main highway No.3 and went with the small roads along the seaside literary winding through lonely beach and colorful fisherman ports and even at times passing through some villages that was made everyone looked up from what they were doing to see me and Bluey that was out of place, not fitting into their normal routine.

When I zoomed in google maps looking for those small roads and links through the villages there was always the chance of getting stuck dead end and I would have to make a long detour just to find the nearest bridge to cross the river-mouth to the next coastal road.

Bridge crossings were also a delight in a way for these riverside community which never see a soul of tourist was pristine and a little corner of my mind would be a smile noting the joy of seeing the part of Thailand untouched by the likes of tourism.

Anyway .... they say pictures tells a thousand words, but being there is a whole different experience.
