I have been thinking for this ride for about half a year. Finally made it last week with several other riders friends. Originally location set was Phucket but I suggest to go for Ko Lanta which is less populated and commercialized. Should said a good decision seems Phucket which is 200+ KM more will be our next ride after this. By far, this is my longest cross border ride, 1700KM in total, took 14 hours for us to reach. We push off 4am sharp Malaysia time, made a lot of stop almost every 100KM, else the girls might go crazy, haha.
Although push off at early morning but we reach border around 11am and clear the immigration point in 2 hours, pretty long but heard some experience worst. In Thailand we also made a lot of stop mainly to refresh ourselves. 7-11 is really popular in Thailand, they are kinda populated the place, everywhere you see one.

We finally arrived at our destination at 6.30 Malaysia time over there, not enough time to have fun at the beach, better just leave it to another day. We rally again at the lobby after 1 hour and head for dinner.

We went to bed after all sort of chitchatting, there is not much night life in Ko Lanta, a rather unpopulated place compare with Phucket, less commercialized and crowed indeed. This is where to relax and have a laid back holidays! The next morning we went down to the island and up after breakfast. Others choose to visit Lanta Old Town where I miss it, I spend the late afternoon time at one of the beautiful beach, nap, soak in the sea and swim .....nice!
