Trip to Thailand : Day 6 (Haadyai back to Penang)

Day 6 (23 September)

Location : Koh Samui to Haadyai

The next day, we go eat Dim Sum as breakfast. Then, we wait until 12pm for buffet in Sky Restaurant. It cost 149baht. Not too expensive. Not too many variety but we're sure full. The Sky Restaurant is cool. Can look at the whole Haadyai town. After the buffet, we got back to hotel and start to take our luggage and go to Market. We decide to buy our souvenier in Market. Upon reaching the market with Tuk Tuk, we realised the market is mostly closed for that one day of the year. OMG... so we just decided to leave straight to Penang.

We bid farewell to our comrade and walk towards van that will take us to Thailand border. At the Thailand border, we go for an oil massage. The girl who massage for me said I got a very fair skin. Then I said I wanna be Ah Gua liao...haha... after massage, we walk to Malaysia border from Thai border. Everything is smooth. We got in Dino's car and ride back to Penang Island... and the trip ended.... its a very enjoyable and crazy trip...at least for me...haha...

Trip to Thailand : Day 5 (Koh Samui to Haadyai)

Day 5 (22 September)
Location : Koh Samui to Haadyai

Time to say goodbye to beautiful place. I got my forehead burn without recognition but I'm very satisfied that we do what we did yesterday. Riding a motorcycle is definitely dangerous. But I glad we did it without any incident. Early morning we return the bike and take a van to a pier. There, a bus waiting for us to board. We did and the bus take us to a ferry terminal. This is different from the one we came. The bus also go along with us. To cut story short, we reach Surat Thani with this bus. We took our lunch in a restaurant that have connection with the bus. So we got chopped. The orange water cost us 60baht which supposed to be 30baht or less. There after, we got on a van and the van drive us to Haadyai.

This journey is probably the least enjoyed because of the small van and stuff air cond. But we do enjoy our company of friends. Reaching Haadyai, the time is around 7pm and we arrive at Carrefour. Tuk Tuk took us to a Chinese restaurant. We saw an elephant there. We ate Thai dinner again. Upon reaching downtown Haadyai with Tuk Tuk, we stayed in Grand Plaza Hotel. 4 people in a room for one night. Aeroplane and Jane will be staying 2 extra night. After bathing, we got on our feet and headed down to see some souveniers.

After a while, we decided not to get anything and we sit down and enjoyed some desserts. I got myself a bird nest for 100baht. I wonder if its real...Later, we walk around and reach Pink Lady Complex. I saw some girls in big aquarium. Its kinda eye opening for me. Haha... We got away from there and then go to hotel and sleep.
