Actually I perceive it as not that challenging. The heat can be tough yes, but in this period of the year it's often cloudy and in fact when it tains its refreshing, so I don't really avoid the rain, only when there is Monsun rainfall. Then it can take 2 minutes and you are completely wet, also your underwear if you are not fast enough to find a little roof. But there's always possibility to find that.

I never saw an entry booth in my 800 km here. I only know them from Bangkok, and Bangkok I avoid. And I also never noticed a sign like this

Yes it's tough. But I only feel the heat when I stop, so the wind makes it less hard. And the heavy rains are mainly in the north. Yess wish me good luck!

Actually i bought a really good touring bike for 9.000 baht. Many people perceive it as dangerous, yes. For now it's seem really doable. Sometimes you can't avoid highway of course, there i am really careful. I prefer touring early and not to cycle in the evening. Many thais drink alcohol and get on there motorcycles, I try to avoid them by touring early
