A traveller's reflection: 2018: 4-Nation 4x4 Solo Trip

My Travel Journal

"There isn't much I haven't shared with you along the road and through it all there'd always be tomorrow's episode" - Elton John

I started traveling around the world since early 80s when I had the opportunity to combine business trips with vacations. Then later when my rezeki is in abundance, there were numerous other trips along the way for vacations, most of the time with hubby and the kids when the timing is right. I have also started to compile the journal and photo-pages covering almost more than 45 years of world wide travel. Some destinations I visited just once, others many times. Many of those places are the obvious famous places people would like to visit but some, the casual traveler doesn't even think to try. I have placed links to my travel at the side bar of my personal page, My Life Reflections, and will be updating them from time to time.

My wish is to continue my travel and complete circumnavigate the globe, insyaAllah…

2018: 4-Nation 4x4 Solo Trip

"If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but by all means keep moving..." - Martin Luther King Jr.

(The Bigfoot crossing the Thailand/Cambodia border)

For some, overland border crossing from Thailand to Cambodia could be a painful experience.

We had crossed the Thailand/Cambodia border with our motorbike a few times either at Aranyaprathet/Poi Pet border or Hat Lek/Cham Yeam border and without much hassle.

This year we decided to go for our annual 4-Nation Kembara a little early. Instead of riding our motorbike, we will be driving our Hi-Lux 4x4. We planned to drive north and pass through a few towns in Thailand then enter Cambodia through Hat Lek/Cham Yeam border and stay in Kong Kong for a few days and visit the attractions there. We may detour along the way and visit the border towns of Myanmar.

First two days of the road trip, we will stay in Phuket and spend time with our grandchildren who will be on a cruise trip with their parents.
