Shor 1st Gear July 7, 2011 Author Share July 7, 2011 Bro, frankly, there is nothing to scared of. In fact, I found Thailand very safe. People very friendly but speaks little English! I think K.L is very rowdy, traffic terrible same as Bkk. I post my Blog to let bros in here who had already planned the drive that far but dunno where to start......JUST DO IT! Bro got balls. I only did KL. Thailand I scared hahaha ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemo6089 1st Gear July 7, 2011 Share July 7, 2011 I did numerous trip into MY with friends on motorcycle and already did 3 trips up to Penang with my family. GPS really makes traveling onto unknown lands a breeze. I will go for long trip in a few years time when I retired from my job, no need to take leave, just plan and go as far as I wish and stay as long as I like, hahaha....... :wub: Just hope I don't get a stroke before that [bigcry] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shor 1st Gear July 7, 2011 Author Share July 7, 2011 I was thinking why not I do it when I retire. but think twice, better do it while young. Retire have heart no strength liow. So I take a 12 days paid leave and 18 days unpaid leave just for this trip!!! It's a little time consumed though. But it's another way of having fun. oic....... i would also like to do that....drive all the way to LOS@udonthani PROBLEM...has to take many off/leave to do that......at least 15-20days!

Getz2008 Neutral Newbie July 7, 2011 Share July 7, 2011 i also thinking of driving to thailand. the furthest i done is Kl. 3 times in the last 7month. but i have to put this on hold as my wife is expecting our 2nd kid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shor 1st Gear July 7, 2011 Author Share July 7, 2011 Congrat bro. this on hold will be many years later. Ya, before I had my trip. I planned whenever I have time. The most important thing is the Crossing of the Malaysia ~ Thailand border. And the planned route. Although some people said crossing the Thailand border is a piece f cake, I found it otherwise. It's very Chaotic at the custom, not really have the Signboard of which one to Queue and if you Queue the wrong lane, you need to re~Queue until you find the right one. Quite many steps to follow while crossing but we all learn from mistake!! Or perhaps I cross the border on the Saturday that's why so messy. but if I were to cross there again, I will sure do it right, ask before Q! i also thinking of driving to thailand. the furthest i done is Kl. 3 times in the last 7month. but i have to put this on hold as my wife is expecting our 2nd kid.

Ronleech 2nd Gear July 7, 2011 Share July 7, 2011 wondering if a small car like 1.1 or 1.3 can go all the way to thailand or not hor..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shor 1st Gear July 7, 2011 Author Share July 7, 2011 I don't think a big problem. But better limit to only driver and passenger. I saw a Getz in Nakon Si thamarat, a Msia registered car. Before you drive, get a pre trip inspection, change whatever necessary parts for the peace of mind. Not a big problem bro. Drive 100km/h - 140km/h ........ wondering if a small car like 1.1 or 1.3 can go all the way to thailand or not hor..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
