SEA + China Backpack 2012: KL-Hadyai-Krabi

Assalamualaikum ... We start our journey on 31st October 2012 and we planned to travel for 40 days roughly. Our first stop is Krabi, Thailand. Along with us to Krabi are a group of other backpackers Adree and geng! We took a train from KLSentral where we bought the ticket through the net www.ktmb.com.my. We bought two tickets to Hadyai which cost us RM54.00 for sleeping berth lower for one person. It took us almost like 15 hours from KLSentral to Hadyai which will make you feel bored all the way if you dont have anything to entertain you! Since we met a lot of travellers from Malaysia, we just make friends with them and we have decided to travel together until Krabi! On our way to Hadyai, we have to get off and on at Padang Besar. Here we need to check-in and out through two immigration department Malaysia and Thailand! Everything seems smooth here as far as you have a valid documentation and you bring nothing doubt in your luggage! *The food at the Padang Besar Railway Stat...

SEA + China Backpack 2012: Farewell Party

Assalamualaikum ... Last 28th October 2012, Miss lovely Tajima had arranged an awesome farewell party for me and Zaff. We were about to travel from Kuala Lumpur to China by land. We planned to travel for 40 days from the starting point until we dont know where we gonna end it ... and one thing that I proud about me and this trip, we never had a concrete plan on where to go and what to do and become worse when we almost never study anything about the route, the cost and etc! Just grab our bag and explore! :) Below are the pictures of the event:   Fareed, Nurul, Aniqa, Misaki aka Misae, Nini Zaff, Apit, Adam    Tajima, Zaff, Apit Me Misae FYI, we are Backpackers Buddies Malaysia Members!

Bangkok 2012: Day Two

Slept at @Hua Lamphong Hotel was good! The room are nice and clean. But, no breakfast are provided. So, you need to have a place to get a breakfast with extra cost! As a backpackers, It is better to get a place that are cheap, safe, clean, have WIFI and include breakfast! I would suggest a place with below than 10 USD (dorm) per night is excellent if they can provide these. On our second day, we pack our things since on our last night we were looking for a cheaper place. (I didnt mentioned in my previous post), we found another place nearby which cost us 690 Baht per night with breakfast! I think this is great! So what we do, we pack our things, check out and leave our backpack at @Hua Lamphong Hotel until we get back from Chat Tu Chak Weekend Market. Our aim for today is Chat Tu Chak Weekend Market! This market is well-knowned for cheaper price and variaties selections. Just name it! You will be able to get it here! And I like this place so much, because its cheap ...

Bangkok 2012: Arriving Bangkok & First Day in Bangkok

I dont have  a lot of pictures to snap in Bangkok. Most of the time, I rely on my friend's mobile phone. Mine is full! Its time to get a new memory card for my phone. We arrived in Bangkok around 1200 hrs. First thing we did was, looking for a muslim food! For your information, muslim food in Bangkok is not so difficult to get. As long as you are willing to ask people, try to discover yourself and use your sixth sense you will be able to find it! Haha! In the Hua Lamphong Train Station (Central Train Station in Bangkok), there is a huge food court. You may get a Halal food in one of the booth. Besides, you will find a place called "TEMPAT SEMBAHYANG" or prayer area for Muslim! Just ask the tourist officer around here, they are willing to help with no charge! Well, since Ive been here last year during flooding, I know another one place which is located in front of the Hua Lamphong  Train Station. The owner can speak in Thai-Malay Golok Style (sort of Oppa Gangna...

Bangkok 2012: Butterworth - Bangkok

I reach Butterworth early morning and fetch by my friend, Cook Larry Zan. I stayed at his house until afternoon and now I'm here in the Ekspres Antarabangsa. Our train depart at 1420hrs and will arrive tomorrow morning at around 1124hrs. I remembered last year I used to take the same mode of transport from Butterworth to Bangkok but then, since I travel alone, there's no much pictures I took. Wish us best of luck!

Bangkok 2012: KL to KL

Yesterday I start my journey from my hometown, Kok Lanas (KL). I went to Pahang first since I would like to go to my university. I slept over at my friend's shop lot in the university. It was okay! As long as I can sleep nicely! At Pahang, I have a chance to go to East Coast Mall (ECM). Back to year 2004 - 2008 where I was a student in UMP. There's no such a thing as ECM. The only mall that we went were Megamall and Teruntum and Kuantan Parade! What makes me happy this time is, I have spent I think almost an hour at my favorite kopitiam! Kemaman Kopitiam! This has been my favorite kopitiam since 2004/05. I love the Coffee C and Cham Ice here! I know there is a Kemaman Kopitiam in KB. But I don't know what's wrong with that kopitiam, all sucks! Late night, I'm about to cruise to where the transgender always lepak in Kuantan. You know, there a lot of transgender in Kuantan. To those who don't sell themself, I do respect them as a human being. But the o...
