After Pa Phai Sang Suk Market, we headed towards Ranot leaving Phattalung. We had booked a stay at a challet near Ranot.
Our car passed through the beautiful massive bridge, that we were travelled under it. It is the longest bridge in Thailand and connects Phatthalung and Songkla.
One can drive over it and stop off on the side to see the old huts and water buffalo grazing below. And, that was what we did.
This bridge is the 80th Anniversary Road. Local people call Baan Saikling - Baan Hua Pa. The first was a dirt road, which had to be closed frequently during the flood. The province want rebuilt it.
During that time, Ekichai Srivichai came to open his concert for donoting funds to rebuild this bridge. Therefore, the bridge is called Ekachai Bridge.
This bridge connects between Khuan Khanun district of Phatthalung and Ranod district of Songkhla.
The scenery is just so amazingly beautiful! Our car stopped at few spots of places just to take photos. We stopped at the landmarks of the famous Phattalung bridge and took a group photo.
Further down we drove, there are few spots at both sides of the road that the cars can be parked aside and one can see and observe the birds at the Thale Noi Lake.
There are even some infographic signage for the visitors on the flying birds. We can see some water buffaloes but quite far from our eyesight.
After we drove through the Ekachai Bridge, we were on our way towards Ranot. It really indeed a long drive to find the challet which we booked.
We saw some windmills along the highway. And this is the first time I saw a real windmill that can generate power. I do not think I can see one in Malaysia.
After a while then I only realise that we were driving on a highway which is just along side the coast which facing the South China Sea.
Alvin stopped by a village beside the seaside, and walked towards the beach. The wind was so strong and so refreshing just standing at the beach.
We decided to head to our challet – Palm Phayom Village and take a rest for later travel to our next destination, the Klongdan Floating Market which is nearby.
Here are some of the photos that we took at the seaside…
