7 Tristans, 30 hours train trip, 7 days, 1 country!! Ahaa... Well it was only just-for-fun trip to the border of the countries, Hat Yai. Located on the South tip of Thailand and to the North of Malaysia, Hat Yai is the victim of the Tristan's crazy vacation. Who would have believe of our stupid plan to experience a long train journey; from KL to Hat Yai. We've made it anyway!! Came with empty hand and return with packed tight luggages full of stuffs. We shopped til we dropped!! Yeah, that's t...
Hat Yai, Thailand joey.tristan
... laid back and smaller than Ko Phangan, so I didn't do much of anything in terms of sightseeing. The days were spent laying by the beach or the pool and the nights were spent out either at clubs or little pubs in the area. Both nights on the island were a lot of fun though.
After three days in Ko Tao, I hopped on another boat and headed to another island nearby called Ko Samui. Ko Samui is by far the ...
... heavy military issued boots banging heavily on the metal floor, their big guns slung around their shoulders looking menacingly, checking papers of passengers. The always festive air that rules King Bhumipol`s Kingdom and for so many Farang the main reason for falling in love with this mystic Asian kingdom, GONE!!! Instead I sense a strange mixture of hate and fear at the same time. We pass small dusty village where I can hear the call of the muezzins coming from hidden mosques ...
Hat Yai, Thailand farang020Liebe Leute, ich habe meine Plaene geaendert! Ich werde doch noch ein wenig mit der Anna rumreisen und dann im Fruehling zurueckfliegen. Irgendwie fuehlt sich das richtiger an, und die harten Fakten, die mich zurueck in den kalten deutschen Winter getrieben haetten (Geldgeldgeld), habe ich vorerst geloest. Jawollja! Naechste Destination sind nun die Perhentian ...
Hat Yai, Thailand danischmelz... obviously the island's bread and butter, and using it to make cement. The cement will then be used to build the new bungalows which they are desperately trying to squeeze into the tiny spaces between the existing bungalows. Yeesh. Who knows, though, maybe they'll eventually start thinking further ahead than tomorrow's dinner rush and, in any case, right now it's still outstanding. Upon arrival we chose to stay at the one and only place on Sunset Beach because A) it ...
Hat Yai, Thailand dinojay2... bands!). A great introduction to Thailand and Thai food on the market. It was also here we realised travelling in Thailand wasn't going to be as easy as we thought, with virtually all Thai writing in Roman script - so we couldn't read a thing! We were pretty much the only westerners in the whole town and when getting food from a food market looked like complete fools when tryinig to ...
Hat Yai, Hat Yai, Thailand ktandsteve... signed and I waited in 'no mans land' a small duty free section that's Thailand/Malaysia....a tense moment on the way back....an Armed Malaysian Border guard asked to see our passports. As I handed mine to him he asked, "Where are you From?". I proudly replied, "United States of America, Sir"..which got my passport a second look over and a dirty look from the guard....guess we aren't well liked over ...
Sadao, Thailand braverhund... on where you could get food and drinks, and there was a carriage you could go in to watch tv, which we did, but also in true Lois and Baz style we attract the only man on the train drinking who chooses us to want to talk to and drink with!!!! so i talked and Baz drank, we had a giggle with him, and then we went off to bed, and i slept most of the 10 hours left of the 14 hour train journey to Kuala Lumper.
Hat Yai, Thailand littlelow... to go or where to stay or what to do - some of the joys of travelling, I guess. But when it comes down to it, and you want to take a break from it all, it's nice to have a place to go back to where you can just relax and not have to think about anything. A place where you have an idea of what to expect. A place that makes you feel like your not 50 million miles away from the feeling ...
Hat Yai, Thailand mikeandjen... wasn't eating though so none of it appealed. We were close to the Malaysian border too so the locals were mainly Muslim. Our room was in a dark, hospital like guesthouse, but it was really cheap and we all had a single bed and a bathroom in the room. All we did here was look around and bargain for our bus tickets the next day. Ben and I were both felling sick and were exhausted so we went to bed very early.
