Earlier in June, my family and I successfully completed a road trip from Kuala Lumpur to Thailand, and then back again. The trip took us – myself, Vinitha and Lydia – 17 days to complete, journeying across south and central Thailand, as well as the southern gulf of the Andaman sea, covering 4,599.9km.

The places we visited in Thailand were Hat Yai, Sichon, Surathani, Koh Samui, Hua Hin, Pattaya, Ayutthaya, Bangkok, Ratchaburi, Kaeng Krachan, Phetchaburi, Chumpon, Kra Isthmus border, Phang Nga, Phuket and Phi Don. We had the idea to go on a road trip even before the pandemic, but of course, like everyone else around the world, we had to put it on hold for a few years.
