Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Pak Chong
Pak Chong sits on the road from Bangkok to the north-east, at the foot of the ridge that leads up to Khao Yai, and it is a town that makes a living serving two kinds of travellers: the weekend visitors who come to walk in the park and the long-haul drivers who push on to the plateau of Isan. The long strip of the Mittraphap Highway, Route 2, runs straight through the middle, with restaurants, farm shops and petrol stations. Locals call the surrounding country Thailand's wild west, because dairy cattle graze on the high green pastures and ranch-style steakhouses serve beef in a way that feels oddly Texan.
