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…

Koh Lanta Trip 04

“The world is in greater peril from those who tolerate or encourage evil than from those who actually commit it...” - Albert Einstein

(Koh Lanta Ferry)

Date: 09 Nov 23 (Thursday)
Route: Koh Lanta - Hatyai
Distance: 250km
Hotel: Hatyai Golden Crown Hotel


Our last day in Koh Lanta we had set breakfast by the beach at View Thalay Seafront Restaurant. By 8.30 am we checked out and headed to the Khlong Mak Pier, with a brief stop at the morning market to buy our favorite pulut pagi.

(Simple but filling)

We bought ferry ticket for B130 and boarded the ferry to Hua Hin Pier. On the mainland, we stopped to buy the famous Koh Lanta ikan masin from one of the roadside stalls. We made another stop at PTT Khlong Phon for comfort break and bought tid-bits from 7-eleven.

We drove on a shorter alternative rural road to Patthalung via Trang. We googled for halal food outlet on our way to Hat Yai and found Musa Bangkok Restaurant in Tamot. Lunch was nasi goreng ikan masin with seafood, sup tulang, white rice and iced manao.

The journey from Patthalung to Hat Yai was slow due to several sections of the highway were undergoing major roadworks. Arrived at the Golden Crown Hotel, Hat Yai at late afternoon. The rest of the day was spent resting and napping.

At night we bought burgers and fries and had our dinner in the room.
