- Kayak trip on the Chao Phraya River in Central Thailand from Bang Sai until Pak Kret as part of the Chao Phraya River Kayak Route.
- Technical data:
- Bang Sai (Wat Pho Taeng Tai) - Pak Kret (Wat Klang Kret) done on 26 August 2012. The weather was clouded with a few sunny out-breaks. Temperature was maximum 32.5 C and the wind blew west at 14.8 Km/hr. We got rain just prior our arrival at Pak Kret as a result of the tropical depression "Kai-Tak". We got falling tide until noon and could profit of the river current. Rising tide after 1200 Hr slowed down largely our progress thereafter. At Khlong Pak Kret the effects of the upcoming tide were very strong. There was quite a lot of water hyacinth along this track, but not really affecting our trip.
- Technical data of the trip was as follows: Total Distance: 33,6 Km; Moving Average: 5.1 Km/Hr; Overall Average: 4.7 Km/Hr; Maximum Speed: 8.4 Km/Hr; Moving time: 6 Hr 36 Min; Stopped Time: 30 Min; Total Time: 7 Hr 6 Min. We made no stops along this track.
- Number of participants: 3 (Tong+, Sean & Pat)
