almost there... northwest coast of Malaysia | dejá vu - Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur |
After over 12 hours in a very uncomfortable KLM seats we are approaching the capital of Malaysia - Kuala Lumpur.

One day in KL is sufficient and we are heading by train to the north of Malaysia to Butterworth and then short ferry ride to Georgetown on Penang Island.
tranquil Monkey Beach - Penang Island | waiting for the first banana pancake - Hat Yai, Thailand |
After painful 8 hours (where 3 of them was waiting in a queue on Thai side of the border) we reached first major town in Thailand - Hat Yai, nice place to rest and spend evening.
moving on... from Hat Yai to Nakhom Si Thammarat | green - Khanom Country |
Early wake up in Hat Yai, out in the rain, grab tuk-tuk and head to Nakhom Si Thammarat, where we change to bus toward Khanom, our beach destination.
our place for the next 5 days - Hallo Villa Khanom | peopleless beaches in Khanom |
Khanom was great spot to relax. There was a rain here or there, but we were having a few kilometres long sandy beaches just for us.
this is Bangkok, baby | just Bangkok |
After Khanom we moved to Surat Thani and jumped on a plane to Bangkok. After one day stay we continued our journey towards east, to Cambodia.
crossing from Thailand to Cambodia | this why we dragged us over here - Angkor Wat |
Objective of the jump to Cambodia was same as for 95 % of tourists coming to the country - see Angkor Wat. We toured around the grren way - on a bike (suggest you do the same).

Then heading back to Thailand. Surviving the 8 hours long bus ride landed us in evening Bangkok, where we spent the last 2 days before the flight back to Europe.
back in Bangkok - Royal Palace | ordering the last yammy yammy food |
Especially Thailand was a very positive experience for me - great food, nice people, superb sights and nice landscape.
