Northern Thailand back to Singapore Day 7 - Last day

As today is the last day of my entire road trip, we checked out the Hotel heading home but on the way back to Singapore, I saw the signboard Segamat....... my mind spinned again!!! Why not we drive into the Kampong and visit the Durian farm? Let's Go babe!!!! LOL


We head in to Kampong Teratai, a famous Durian farm well known by all Durian lovers. They served Buffet Durians, 25 RM, eat until you say stop. Hmmmmmm, worth a try right........ so this adventure begins before heading home to Sillypore.....opppps, a boring city I live in! Here it goes...............

Tips for this trip to conclude my Road trip.

- Have at least 7 hours of sleep before driving.

- A good map from embassy and a good GPS with updated maps.

- Lot's of mineral water in car, chicken essence & Red bull is also advisable.

- Bring lot's of CD, play fast songs so you won't get sleepy, sing along the way.

- Valid passport, car LOG card and credit cards.

- Before starting the day, check the Engine oil level and the tyre pressure.

- Change some foreign currency or must I say, changed a lot of Ringgits & Thai bahts.

- Check your vehicle before the trip, change all tyres and brake pads are highly recommended.

- Never save on Hotel expenses, booked a good hotel for a good sleep.

- 2 pairs of Sunglass, one for Sunny day and one for stormy weather.

- Note down all Emergency telephone number like Police station, car breakdown or friends and relatives ( if you have any )

- Don't eat too much along the way, it will make you feel sleepy.

- Try to take a break every 200-300 km.

- Keep a stable speed, do not rush and do not accelerate too fast, I recommend 120km/h is the ideal speed.

- Never drive in the dark, find a Hotel to rest when the sky getting dark!

Enjoy!


















































Northern Thailand back to Singapore Day 6

The 6th day before heading home. Today, my planned is basically FOOD & Photography.



So many days on the move, have yet to take Photographs seriously. Today will be the day. We started the day early so we can route to Bak Kut Teh for breakfast. Indeed is famous, the Hokkien BKT in Melaka.


After breakfast, my camera Batt fully charged, and it's our time to be a Tourists. Melaka is a very small town, so isn't much place to go anyway! So we stick to the main attraction , the red building, St Paul's church and all those Eco building.



We had a simple lunch today, Wan Tan Mee which is not impressive at all, and continue to the Masjid Selat Mosque. This place is one of my favorite Photographing place.....we stay there for around 2 hours and head to our dinner.


We had Nonya today, search from Forums thought this restaurant is highly recommended one, but nothing to shout for. And after our dinner, we head back to the hotel for a shower and some rest....We had our supper in a porridge shop, the Frog porridge!! This is HIGHLY recommended!!! Yummy................. and go back to Hotel prepare for the following day adventure!
