Part 1- "1Bike1Couple: Kuala Lumpur-Bangkok-Laos 2015"




Hi...today just take my time to story about my journey with my wife and we call it 1Bike 1Couple. 9 days 8 Nite. We enjoy our journey from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok and up to next border Vientien, Loas. Just simple words can i say about our love ride is "simple, easy, enjoy, safe & save" SEESS. Anyway, this is such a major moment for our incredible best Versys 650 for the 1st time.

We put as our principle to ride everage 500 km perday and nite stop anywhere we are there. No hotel booking and very minimise using GPS unless when we try to find the nearest hotel, mosque & muslim / halal food. We also bring very min things together with us to minimise space for others things later. Only this....please believe...hahaha..anyway mywife handle everything about this...easy..our journey become interesting with a lot of character people out there..

Our 1st nite from border Sadao Immigration in Dannok (small town) after almost 500km, we were stay at  Chaiyar Resort with rate 400 baht per nite and parking space just infront of our room or maybe we can say 'next door'..hihihi. This is our 1st nite staying in our journey and we are surprise with the rate of resort...very cheap..Masya Allah...morning they are prepared a coffee for us.


 


 

 We continue ride to our next destination ..... BANGKOK....but we also take our rest every 100 km ride. Along the journey to Bangkok, a lot of best places that we stopped to take photo and relax. We enter Dansingkhon Border Market and look around the Thai and Burmese traders selling everything from dried fish and vegetables to teak furniture and cheap consumer goods. With so few visible settlements on the Burmese side, it’s a wonder where all the people come from but the market is very busy. There are also many Thais, both from the surrounding area and from Bangkok. Dansingkhon is a border town to Mymmar so only Thais and Burmese are allowed to cross the border..





Prachuap Khiri Khan

This is Prachuap Khiri Khan beach, located south of  Bangkok and neighboring provinces are Phetchaburi  in the north and Chumphon in the south. The long white sandy beaches themselves are clean and pretty, much more so than Pattaya’s, and the sea is relatively clean. Besides sunbathing snorkeling and swimming, visitors can also enjoy golf, spas, caves, peaks, waterfalls, shops, seafood and nearby national parks. The town is warm and friendly making it pleasant for families and couples.

 



 




Besides that.. there is a few photo we take along the journey to Bangkok. Finally.. we arrived to Bangkok around 8.30pm. But we only arrived to hotel 2 hours after around 11.30 pm. Why?? Why?? Because we forgot to setting out GPS for road with out toll. No motorbike allowed to enter Bangkok highway. We are so lucky because Bangkok police very nice to us and help us to follow him to the right road with his motorbike.

We stay our 2nd nite journey at the Buddy Mansion, located in Bangkok (Ramkhamhaeng). Buddy Mansion is close to Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital, Rajamangala Stadium, and Ramkhamhaeng University. Also nearby are Nine Center Rama 9 and The Mall Bangkapi.


Why Buddy Mansion we choose to stay for 2 nite at the Bangkok City? This hotel having laundry coin....also 400 baht per nite and u will wake up with the azan subuh (for muslim) calling..so clear in the central of Bangkok City. And off course..there is a lot of muslim stall / food around the hotel. You also can order halal food through hotel room service. But their packing just simple like from stall.

  4. Bro Adam, prosedur memang sudah ada cuma bila tiba hari nak naikan motor atas keretapi Bro kene ambil langkah berikut:

    1. Datang 1 jam lebih awal ke stesen.
    2. Pastikan lepas bayar tiket motor dan bed kene tunggu bersama motor.
    3. Hantar sendiri motor bersama pekerja mereka ketika naikan motor & standby wang
    kecik untuk TIPS (so diorang akan angkat motor dengan lebih berhati-hati)
    4. Kalau x tunggu nanti ada group lain yg naikkan motor mereka dahulu then bila tak
    muat motor kita naik next train.

    Tapi ini proses 3 tahun lepas Bro.. yang terkini saya x pasti.
