Day 11 – Rayong to Hua Hin Thank you Uncle Ben! One for the photo collection of beautiful memories! With that, folks, it was now time to head home. In this case, heading home meant that we start the long 2000km drive back to Singapore. This would be the start of our 2nd half of our... Continue Reading →
Day 10 – Rayong Finally we get a photo with all of us in the frame! Sometimes, the most memorably fun moments in life are those simple ones which don't even cost a penny!

Day 3 - Taiping to Hatyai For our previous trips, the standard plan to get from Alor Setar to Phuket in one day.
