As I had to do my visa run the other day I thought I would take a few pics of this momentously tedious task.
Setting off from Petch at 0730 the wife and myself got onto the first bus from Petch to Lom Sak.
Its one of the old crappy ones with fans and the like but its only an hours journey and 20 baht so its bearable, just.

Lom Sak bus stations just like any other bus station so I didnt bother with any boring pics. More tedious pictures of buses later so you won't miss any of the excitement.
The bus from Lom Sak to our next port of Chum Phae is hardly any better than the first cattle truck we were on. It takes about 2 hours and costs 92 baht.
No music or movies we're played so we entertained ourselves with some music courtessy of the iPod and some foody treats such as this
Sticky rice with red stuff and paper round it. Tasty and filling if you eat 2 or 3 of them.
The Lom Sak-Chun Phae leg is over a very steep hilly road so its a crawl for most of the way, 5mph if you're lucky going up most parts. Not much to see as in photos but some really good views on a clear day at some points.
Most of the route is carved through the hills so it either dense jungle or rocks to look at hence no other pics than this one.
