Route: Sungai Golok – Nakhon Si Thammarat
Hotel: The Peak Boutique Hotel
We were in Kota Bharu to attend a nephew's wedding.
From Kota Bharu we planned to drive across the border and visited the beaches in Southern Thailand. Border crossing at Rantau Panjang/Sungai Golok Immigration was fast and
smooth.

We drove northwards and stopped at Soi Sawan Beach for lunch and stopped at Masjid Quwwatul Islam, also known as Masjid Yamal in Ban Muang Ngam on the route to Nakhon Si Thammarat. We performed our prayers and met with the Jemaah who were very welcoming and friendly.
We drove on and discovered a wind farm with scattered wind turbines. We made a brief stop for photo shots. The wind farm is not only a source of clean, affordable energy but could be a great tourist destination. It was already late but we detoured to visit a fishing
village with a stretch of beautiful quiet beach from where we still could see the wind
turbines.
Tonight we stayed a night at The Peak Boutique Hotel in Nakhon Si Thammarat for
Baht700 per night inclusive breakfast. There were a few Muslim stalls along the main road where we had dinner at one of the stalls.
