After a few days on the road I was getting into the swing of things. The bicycle was responding well and I was enjoying the sights. All along the way I met the friendly 'Thai Smile'. Most people couldn't believe what I was doing, cycling through the countryside for fun, but appreciated that I was doing it.
At the end of a somewhat tiresome day I found a small hamlet with a tiny Wat at the top of a hill. The village was so small they didn't have any resident monks. I would usually ask the Abbot if he didn't mind if I camped on the premises (in all the temples I asked to camp at in Thailand I was only rejected once).
But there was a small gang of kids that took it upon themselves to look after me. In the evening they brought me some snack and a bottle of water. The next day they also came to say goodbye before going off for the day.
