“Traveling has humbled me and has broadened my perspective in so many ways. Traveling has given me a sense of gratefulness for the comforts that I am able to enjoy…”

Route: KL – Bukit Kayu Hitam - Phatthalung
Distance: 623km (7:24hrs)
Hotel: Phatthalung Chaikanathani Hotel
For the next ten days I will be skipping my physiotherapy sessions for my frozen shoulder and enjoy the ride.
By 8.30 am we were already at Rawang R&R and met with the rest of the bikers. After breakfast and refueling, eight bikes started riding towards north. Stopped at Simpang Pulai to refuel and a short rest. Bought some giant karipap to eat later as we will be skipping lunch.

After refueling full tank at Petronas Changloon, we completed documentations at one of the coffee shops under the bridge and changed some bahts. We expected some delays at the border as there were many cars and motorbikes entering the border through Bukit Kayu Hitam border today.

The Thai border clearance took us almost four hours to complete. The backlog was at the custom clearance. Too many vehicles entering Thailand and only a few open counters to attend to the large crowd. As it was almost dark, we decided to have early dinner at Restoran Kak Jah in Danok and performed our prayers there.

We rode direct to Phatthalung, about 151km from Bukit Kayu Hitam. Arrived around 8.00 pm and checked in at Chaikanathani Hotel Phatthalung for B600/night.
