2017 Q6 4NR Day 01: KL - Hatyai

“The beautiful journey of today can only begin when we learn to let go of yesterday..." - Steve Maraboli

(The start of our 24-day riding adventure)

Day 01: 23 Nov 2017 (Thursday)
Route: KL - Hatyai
Distance: 535 km
Hotel: Golden Crown Hotel, Hatyai

Around 7.30 Started from Bidara House with Tuan Shawal who stayed the night at our house. At R&R Rawang met Tuan Syed. Stopped in Simpang Pulai to refuel then rode direct to Juru for Bawal Goreng lunch. In Changlun had our documentations prepared, changed some Bahts and ready to cross Malaysia/Thailand border at Bukit Kayu Hitam.

(The new numbering system, a two hours wait)

The border was very crowded with locals and foreign visitors. Even with the new numbering system, it took more than 2 hours to stamp our passports. Performed our prayers at Masjid Talardtai along the way to Hatyai. Our bike slipped on the pavement in front of the mosque and I hurt my wrist a little.

Had our early dinner at Khalid Restaurant before we checked in Golden Crown Hotel for Baht850/night. After an hour of foot massage, went to Aji stall for Pulut Durian. Met my niece Ailyn and hubby with the rest of their gang who convoyed by cars.
