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 Thailand Year-end Couple Ride: 03 Kui Buri - Phetchabun

”Adventure may hurt you but monotony will kill you…”

Day 03: 9 Dec 2018 (Sunday)
Route: Kui Buri - Suphan Buri - Phetchabun
Distance: 620 km
Hotel: Phetchabun Hotel @Me Place

We had breakfast and refuelled at a PTT in Kui Buri. From here on we split ways with the five bikers who were heading towards Cambodia and Laos. To avoid Bangkok traffic we took a detour and stopped for a late lunch at the Halal Restaurant in Suphan Buri and performed our prayers there. We packed some food for tonight’s dinner as we would be arriving in Phetchabun late at night. We were confident that our favorite halal restaurant in Phetchabun would be closed by then.

We rode from Suphan Buri to Phetchabun via Sing Buri and stopped to refuel and rest along the way. There were many road blocks and detours in Suphan Buri as they were having some sort of community events around town. Arrived at Phetchabun around 8.30 pm and checked in Phetchabun Hotel @ Me Place at B350/night.

Hotel @Me Place is situated in the middle of Phetchabun town and a walking distance to the bazaar and town attractions. We had stayed at this hotel a few occasions on our previous trips. The hotel is cheap and comfortably clean. It also provides coin-operated washing machines for travelers to wash dirty laundry. It even offers a free flow of coffee and hot water at the reception area.
