Getting around Rayong can be kinda tough. There are many motorcycle taxis available in town. But our hotel is a little outside of town and so there's no bike taxis waiting to whisk you away. When I first got here, I rented a car but can't do that anymore. My coworkers are renting a car on their own dime and let me borrow it today. Little did I know when I got to Rayong, the Thais drive on the left side of the road. The obvious troubles with driving on the wrong side of the road aren't too tough to get over. At intersections you just need to remind yourself, "stay to the left, stay to the left." it was the small things that got me. One, the directional signal is on the other side. For the first week I was driving here, I turned on the windshield wipers every time i wanted to turn. Two, remembering which side of the car to get in to drive got me a couple times. Three, you tend to find yourself drifting towards the left side of the lane, where you normally would be seated if you were driving on the normal side of the car.
I had three things to do: get a new phone card, buy some groceries, and look for a used motor bike of my own. Bought the phone card, got my groceries, and may have found a good bike deal!

No picture of the bike?
Don't be getting greedy with the number of pictures you get each day there Angela. No photos of bikes will be posted until transactions have been completed.
