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…

Thailand Borders 03: Samut Sakhon

“Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.” – Oscar Wilde

(A choo-choo train in Cha-am)

Day 03: Tuesday, 12 Nov 2024
Route: Tha Sae - Samut Sakhon
Distance: 413 km (5:38)
Hotel: Grand Inter Hotel, Samut Sakhon

Breakfast was half boiled eggs and bread in the room. By 7.30 am we checked out and drove north towards Samut Sakhon. Stopped to take pictures at Kuil Huai Luek - the Big Yellow Bird of Thap Sakae. The weather was clear and bright for a leisure drive.

We had nasi lauk lunch at Restoran Abang Mana in Cha-am and performed our prayers at the surau located in the PTT R&R area.

Drove direct to Samut Sakhon with a few comfort stops in between. Samut Sakhon is located along the coast of the Gulf of Thailand and is part of the Bangkok Metropolitan Region.

In Samut Sakhon we visited Masjid Noor Ullah Mosque. It is located along the Ekkachai Road. It is a nice mosque in a residential area about 500 m off the main road. The mosque can easily accommodate a few hundred worshippers. We performed solat sunat there.

By 4.15 pm we checked in Samut Sakhon Grand Inter Hotel at Rm96/night. Our hotel room was at the new wing and very spacious. There was ample parking space. As we were quite full, we shared a bowl of mihun soup for dinner.
