Greet to all my readers. On December 28, 2016, to January 12, 2017, we’d successfully completed 10 cities in Thailand and one city in Laos. It is quite challenging and there are many obstacles like adventure involving children aged 3 years and 10 months.
Thailand – Laos Travel: Day 1 – Journey Begin, ETS Train and Malaysia-Thailand border
Continued from Pre Thailand – Laos Travel.
Travel Date: December 28, 2016
Day: 1
Location: Kuala Lumpur and Padang Besar (Perlis, Malaysia)
On the night of December 27, we did not get enough sleep. There are two reasons. Firstly, this is the first time we traveled abroad as a family and secondly because worried if we missed the train.
The ETS train is too fast. The stop time at each station is only between 15-30 seconds except for a popular station like KL Sentral, Ipoh and Alor Setar.

Location: Padang Besar (Perlis) and Hat Yai (Thailand)
That’s the blue-covered bus stand. The front there is a cottage or a barricade of soldiers, perhaps the purpose is for guarding the borders. But I did not take the picture, worried if they thought something bad about me. In fact, when we arrived here, we were wondering and still confused on how to get a public bus. We wait for almost 10 minutes but still no sign of a bus. [Read more…] about Thailand – Laos Travel: Day 1 – Part 2 – Journey By Bus to Hat Yai, around Hat Yai and Lee Garden Plaza

Day: 2

That morning after dawn, we all got up. That night we slept soundly. Once woke up, it was morning. Fortunately, there is no interruption from Hat Yai’s ghosts, hehe. Indeed, the hotel seemed quite old. When we got ready, we went downstairs to the ground floor lobby. [Read more…] about Thailand – Laos: Day 2 – Part 1 – Around the city of Hat Yai and Wat Hat Yai
Thailand – Laos: Day 2 – Part 2 – Thai Primary School and Wet Market in Hat Yai

Location: Hat Yai, Thailand
The story is very lengthy and has to be separated into two entries. From Wat Hat Yai, and due to not hiring any tuktuk then we needed to walk to the main road. After walking out of Wat, there was an entrance gate. At the edge, there is a primary school and the atmosphere is quite crowded because of the voice of the students there who are receiving lessons from their teachers. Without further ado and looking for new experiences while traveling, we went into the school area.
