Day 2: Jalan Jalan murah KL - Hatyai @Kosit Hotel

Image
Sebelumnya kami naik bis dari depan terminal Puduraya ke Hatyai (Thailand). Sampai di Hatyai sekitar jam 7.30 pagi kami diturunkan di kantor travelnya. Mereka menyediakan jasa penukaran uang (money changer) dan tiket van ke beberapa kota lainnya. Meskipun kurang lancar berbahasa Inggris staff-nya cukup ramah, dan mereka memberikan peta Hatyai (Hatyai city map). It's a good start! Dari sana kami berjalan ke Hotel Kosit, dimana kami akan menginap. Pada Maret 2012 ini per malamnya kena B700 twin bed standard room. Beberapa minggu sebelumnya setelah melakukan search dan read akhirnya memutuskan untuk di hotel ini karena ada review yang bagus mengenai hotel ini. Jadi kami sudah booking via email namun pembayarannya dilakukan setelah sampai di Hatyai (what a very convenient way). Ternyata jarak dari travel tadi ke hotel Kosit tidak terlalu jauh, sekitar tiga blok. Sepanjang perjalanan ke hotel toko-toko masih belum buka, jalanan juga masih lenggang, padahal itu hari Kamis hari kerja ...

Surabaya's Mosquito vs. Bangkok's Mosquito

Image
This picture shows the horrible animal, a real vampire that spread itches **overreacted**. Exactly mosquitoes do not bite, they only suck blood, and only female ones do. What is the difference between those two? In Surabaya the mosquitoes will 'sing' before they suck somebody's blood. We will be alerted and can prevent the incident if you wish. In Bangkok, as what my friend told me, there is no sign but I already got bitten. Sooo direct!

Bangkok Not Safe Anymore

Image
Thursday, September 13, 2007 As I am foreigner here, I can not read Thai characters therefore mostly I don't update with the Thai local news. Me and my friends here always have impression that Bangkok is safe, at least safer than some big cities in Indonesia. Here we (the girls) can walk around wearing hot pants (really hot!) without having naughty whistles from men. Street in Bangkok This evening when I went to buy fried rice for my dinner at the shop near my apartment, the seller told me *&&@# #@!#$% *(in Thai) which was later translated to "There is robbery near 7-11, which is just 100 meter distance from my place. The robber riding motorcycle and the victim is a girl". It was a crowded area because near university and market area yet it still happened. So Please be careful! Don't bring so much money on the purse, and if you just happen to have more than what you need to spend, just remember that I'm most welcome you and I'm ready to received your ...

Amusement Park Siam Park (More of Water Park)

10.09.07 Monday Today I go to Siam Park with my friend. If you ever been to Dufan Jakarta it's sort of it, but in smaller scale, and of course in many aspects Dufan is alot alot better. In Siam Park many of the games are for children, and some for adults are very 'dangerous' to us :D for we don't want to have VORTEX and BOOMERANG, the kind of roller coaster .. we end up still have so many coupon unused. We give them to the kids. We choose ticket 350 B each which is discounted 50% from original price 700B. There is another option around 1000B which we can used for VORTEX cost about 300B alone. The food is not so good too. But talk at the poolside, and we enjoy it. I think it's the best part of the trip, just like talking to an old friend we can enjoy the conversation. The DISCO TAGADA is scaring-me-to-death ... and I hold on the steel pipe so tight that my arms and my neck are hurt until 2 days after it. The INDIANA LOG aka ARUNG JERAM of DUFAN, is quite OK, but the ...
