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…

Route 12: Day 11 - Chumphon

 “Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier...” – Mother Teresa

(The first King of Thailand)

Day 11: 28 April 2025 (Monday)
Route: Hua Hin - Chumphon
Distance: 270 km
Hotel: Nana Buri Hotel, Chumphon

We had breakfast of bread and chilli tuna in the room. We checked out by 8.00 am and headed towards Rajabhakti Park. Rajabhakti Park is a historically themed park honouring past Thai kings from the Sukhothai period to the current royal house of Chakri.

(King Ramkhamhaeng, King Naresuan and King Narai)
(King Taksin, King Buddha Yodfa Chulalok, King Mongkut and King Chulalongkorn)

Rajabhakti Park was built by the Royal Thai Army, on Thai Army property, with approximately US$28 mil in funds donated by the public and private sectors. King Bhumibol Adulyadej gave the historical park the name "Rajabhakti Park", which means 'the park that has been built with people's loyalty to the monarchs'.

From Hua Hin, we drove on highway 4 direct to Chumphon with a few rest breaks in between. At Rai Kao PTT, met a couple of Singaporean riders on their way to Chumphon. They will be staying at the Europe Boutique Hotel across Farida Roti Restaurant of Chumphon.

In Chumphon, we detoured to Khun Sarai R&R to have our lunch of nasi, telur dadar, soup and ulam-ulam. Bought salted eggs and fish from the OTOP.

We checked in Nana Buri Hotel at Rm110/night. This hotel is our regular accommodation whenever we are in Chumphon.

The whole afternoon was spent in the room, resting and napping. After maghrib/Isya prayers we walked quite a distance to Farida Roti Restaurant for dinner. As usual the eatery was full of locals and foreigners. Their business seems to be good, Alhamdulillah...

After dinner we had an hour of strong foot massage at our regular massage parlor in front of our hotel. We were lucky, they still accomodate us eventhough it was already closing time when we arrived!
