A traveller's reflection: Koh Samui Wet Trip: 06 Kuala Lumpur

(Lunch at Ida Mee Udang, Sungai Dua)

Day 06: Friday, 29 September 2023

Route: Hat Yai - KL
Distance: 530 km

We walked to Restoran Maliam for roti telur and nasi lemak breakfast. Earlier we planned to stay a night in Pattani and exit Thailand via Sungai Kolok. We will cross the border today instead to avoid the crowd and the traffic jam tomorrow when everyone will be heading out at the same time.

By 8.30 am we checked out and headed to the border. Stopped at Danok to buy some tidbits to bring home. There was no crowd at the border. The clearance process was smooth on both sides. Paid B30 at the Thai immigration counter.

Refuelled at Petronas Changlun then drove on PLUS highway towards south. Stopped at Ida Mee Udang Restoran at Sungai Dua for lunch. We ordered Mee Goreng Udang and Nasi Goreng Ketam. Both dishes were tasty.

It was raining dogs and cats àlong the way. We made a stop at Taiping Hentian Sebelah for Zohor/Asar prayers. We performed our Magrib/Isya solat at Ulu Bernam R&R and had Mee Kari for dinner.
