Sakura Hotel Hat Yai

... The bus ride was insane because the driver was taking turns at break-neck speeds. There were a few times that I thought the bus would tip over. There were three people that weren't even able to sit down because all the seats were full. They didn't seem to mind though. I guess that's what we should've expected after paying a mere $7 for a four hour bus ride. We had heard from ...

... his son, Hip Hop 2. my close friend, Pan, lives one hour outside. I wanted to spend sometimes with her family as well Rainy Arrival I arrived around 9, quite late at night. Totally exhausted from all the travelling. But this kind of exhaustion plus eagerness can only find when one travels. It's like trying to keep your eyes open while you would love to sleep instead. My cousin came to pick me up at the gas station. The scene ...

... joten jouduimme tyytymaan lippuihin Hat Yaille, josta sitten paasisi Malsiaan. Yleensa taalla on junissa ollu hyvin tilaa, mut nyt ei saanu edes seuraavaks paivaks. Mikas siina, lahto puolilta oin, joten odottelua semmoset viis tuntia. Loydettiin tori vahan matkan paasta ja saatiin vahan nalkaa helpotettua. No ma sain. Eika sekaan mitaan hirveeen hyvaa safkaa ollu, kun ei naa raukat osaa irrottaa kanasta luita ennen kun ne ...

... By the time I had found a reasonably priced bed I had walked a long way. I spent the day shopping. Hat Yai is inexplicably full of huge shopping centres and high rise hotels. I cannot think why enough rich people would go there to allow the hotel to survive. It must be becasue it is the border connection to malaysia. Still there were a lot of hotels. Later found a bus into malaysia. In the evening I went ...

... it is one of the smallest, most remote island in Thailand. Crazy choice you would think, but not really because Ko Mook being so small and not touristy, there is always a boat getting there and out of there for the locals, so it makes it easier to get to Ko Mook than to get to another touristy island during low season. Unfortunately, we missed the taxi boat, so we had to charter a whole boat for ourselves in order to make it to the island. Once there, we ...

... anything of note, we ended up eating in McDonalds. Our hostel was quite something to behold, it makes me feel quite sick just writing about it. Definitely a bed to sleep in your own sleeping bag liner. The room came with its own squat toilet. Swanky.

Hello, today we left my parents as they headed off to catch a flight back to KL for the last few days of there hols before going home and we caught the ferry across to the thai town of satun then the bus up to Hat Yai. Having already been here before we didn't plan on staying, hoping instead to catch the overnight sleeper train to Bangkok then on to Chiang Mai the day after that. Unfortunately we ...

... at us. We decided to confirm the price of the fare and sure enough, the fare had suddenly changed from the 40 baht that the station attendant had told us and rocketed up to 100. The buggers thought they could pull one over us, even when we protested about being quoted a different price and being able to catch an a/c minibus for the same price and refused to take us for a fair ...

Made our way to Hat Yai on an air-conditioned van...a.k.a. Mini-bus. It took about 4.5 hours. It was not a bad drive. We had to go through immigration on the Malay side and once we got to the Thai side you definitely knew you were no longer in Malaysia. The Thai border officer stood there and looked at my picture for a good 5 mins in the passport and flipped through it at least 4 times. Perhaps I should have shaved in the morning :) Anyways, the ...
