Return south 0.5 Km and turn left into the busy paved road with a Km marker “59” on the near corner as you approach. (Maybe an “HHH” sign somewhere, if I remember.)

Drive 1.2 Km on this dirt road (make no turns) and turn right into Pennydrops’ driveway (“HHH>”). Landmarks: Penny’s driveway is 100 meters beyond “Starwell” resort on the left, 25 meters short of a large strangler fig tree on left, has a sign with gold lettering in Thai on one side of the drive and a 4-meter high concrete water tank on the other side of the drive. Follow the drive in and around to the left. Drop passengers and gear at the house, and park anywhere. But please do not park in the pass-through driveway.
