Goodbye KL hello 24 hour bus ride back to Bangkok

Puduraya bus station Kualar Lumpur

Oh it’s good to be back in the heat and chaos of Bangkok, it seems like forever since we were last here.

After our super early flight from Bali to Kualar Lumpur we decided to break up our mammoth journey with a day in KL, so we made our way down to Chinatown where the rooms are cheap and the food is good. Knowing we had nothing at all to do in KL meant we could just hang around and watch the world go by and Chinatown is the perfect place to do that. I finally had some roasted duck which I’d had my eye on the whole time we were there last, but for some reason I never got around to it. (more…)

As ever the sumptuous VIP bus delivered us back to Kuala Lumpur in comfort and style. We arrived in KL around 8 o’clock, dropped neatly at the end of the road we needed in Chinatown it was a short walk down to the Grocers inn again.

Stuck in Kota Bharu… But there’s fun to be had… And booze!

Sitting at the bus station with our new compadres the time flew by and soon enough we were all aboard the local bus headed for Kota Bharu, it wasn’t until we were about 45 minutes into our journey that I realised time was getting on and the border must have a closing time… After some frantic searching through our lonely planet books and trying to work out the hour time difference we resigned to the fact we probably wouldn’t make it and if we did the Thai border would have shut an hour ago… Suddenly the taxi ride offered to us didn’t seem like a bad idea and what the taxi drivers knew and we didn’t was how fucking slow the bus was… (more…)
