12 hours journey

Blessings to the almighty and beloved folks for allowing me to experience this opportunity of travelling to Samui, Phangan and Bangkok. A total of six days with two blokes, tolerating our own nonsense. The journey to this phangan island, we travelled via flight from Singapore to Bangkok to Samui. Then from Samui, had to transfer via coach then ferry to Phangan. All these transfering and waiting takes a total of 12 hours. My first ever time travelling so long just to get to a location that is not even located at the other half of the world.

Anyway,it's been such an interesting experience, with them two who are good at looking maps, figuring out directions, with good memory recognizing the places we've passed by. We explored phangan within 2 days by bike and almost cover the whole island. I even rode the bike myself at some parts. hehehe.

Phangan is such a beautiful island, with less people and simple life. Indeed, worth travelling 12 hours journey to reach there. Surprisingly, there's a mosque and also numerous halal restaurants on the island itself. That, i dont expect it at all. But alhamdulillah for that. :)

Once we've reached BKK, it was already evening. We've yet to book a hotel but i did some research and we cabbed to our desired location but seems that the taxi driver can't figure out the exact location that we wanted to go. We spent about half an hour figuring out the way but thankfully, i did a few research on few hotels and Apai recognize one of the hotel that i took note and immediately alert us when we passed by it.

At Bangkok, we were searching for halal restaurant too. In which, i forgot where i dine it the last time i went BKK. While walking, searching for places, B saw a muslim couple and immediately approached them to enquire. And so, we followed as told and found back to the restaurant where i dine at last year. :)

Wished i could explore Samui though cause we only had a day in Samui, not enough to discover Samui itself.

Yours truly,
