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…

(The Giant Turtle in Surin)

Day 06: Friday, 15 Nov 2024
Route: Aranyaprathet - Chong Chom - Surin
Distance: 216 km (3:16)
Hotel: One Fu Hotel, Surin

Breakfast with bread and cilli tuna in the room.

Checked out by 8.00 am and collected our deposit of B200. Headed towards the Aranyaprathet/Poipet border crossing.

Aranyaprathet is a famous town for hopping the border to Cambodia to visit the temples of Angkor Wat in Siem Reap. Next to the border is its gigantic open air shopping market known as Rong Kluea Market. It is a huge market full of knock-off designers goods, trinkets, clothes of all kinds, soccer shirts, shoes and even a huge fresh food market where you can get great Thai food.

Next stop is the Aranyaprathet Istikbal Mosque for dhuha prayers and infaq. By 9.45 am we were already on the road to Chong Chom/O'Smach Border Crossing, another popular Thailand/Cambodia border.

We had lunch of halal CP prawn burger and nasi goreng tomyam from 7-eleven at PTT Prasat. Around 2.30 pm we reached the small Chong Chom border and took some pictures. On the way to Surin passed the Chong Chom Border market located along the highway.

Checked-in One Fu Hotel in Surin at Rm86/night. Had Kembara dinner in the room as we were too lazy to go out and look for halal eatery.
