Decided to embark on this long awaited trip to Northern Thailand, with the option of LAOS and CAMBODIA by bike. Will update this thread soon with pictures as requested by some of you guys. Many thanks to those who have provided assistance whether as advice or equipment wise. Stay tuned!

 

Special Thanks to the following people who made this possible.

LeongMS, Cougar, S4Vtec for loaning me equipment for this trip.

YZFx, Al-Simmons, Pauche amongst others for their valuable information.

Met this Russian guy on his SG registered Suzuki Impulse..... He was riding alone up to Cameron Highlands for a touch and go ride. Didnt intend to stay there overnight. I wonder how he could take riding @ 19c (according to my onboard temp meter) with a t-shirt!

The surprise: Took me 5 minutes to clear the SADAO customs on the THAI side! No Queue!

The hotel i stayed in Hat Yai... Sakol Hotel. The hotel has been recently renovated.

Nice rooms. Cold Aircon (Finally!) and.... *drum roll* a bar fridge that actually can freeze stuff in its freezer compartment! (we all know how sh!t hotel bar fridges can be.)

Preserved eggs. They taste fantastic!

They actually stuffed two yolks into each shell half.

Riding up the nearby mountain of Hat Yai rewards me with a spectacular view of the area...

 

No. It's not a spectacular view of that dustbin!

Unfortunately. the statue was going through a facelift at that time thus explaining the presence of the scaffolding.
