The route
Total distance 133 km
I stop roadside not far from the border for what I hoped was going to be my last meal in Thailand for a few months
I stopped at the insurance girls office to show her the translated letter from the land transport office and she photocopied it for me
Got the bastard today, even better was I gave them the photocopy which they accepted so I still have the original letter and hopefully I wont need to border cross again to renew the ICP in a months time
Eat your heart out Thailand, 5.24 litres of 95 pure benzine for 110 Baht.
Its only 21 Baht a litre here compared to 48 over the border
Full of fuel and ready to move on
A complete change in culture today but I did notice signs for Thai food along the ride towards Kangar
Thailand doesnt have the monopoly on wonky bridges, I thought it was going to collapse as I walked across it
I rode to where I stayed last year only to find it was closed, a guy outside said follow me and took me not far to another budget place.
250 Baht here
As this machine delivers cold pleasant tasting filtered water I wont be buying any all the time I stay here
N06.11650 E100.36631
For the first time since I bought it the KLX gets chained up
If any thieves trying to nick it make half the amount of noise I did when chaining it up they will wake up half the residents of Alor Setar
I go off in search of Rose restaurant where I ate last time and got my introduction to southern Indian food only to find that that was closed as well.
I was directed to this place at N06.11979 E100.36893
Biryani rice and chicken curry
Honey chicken, 90 Baht the lot but it was nowhere near as nice as what I ate at Rose restaurant
