The
trip is the process, not the ends stop.
Big
people are the climbers, not the campers, and also not the quitters.
From
one “failed” trip people’s brain become opened, and one faith is appears.
Ahaa…
Those quotes I’d taken from the book ’30 Paspor Di Kelas Sang Profesor”. The
book Which is succeed poisoned me and made me reckless to travel all alone.
Spoiled girl like me travel all alone, yes a-l-l A-l-o-n-e. With paycheck to
paycheck money, made me brave to travel to neighbors country all alone.
“The
Power of Kepepet”(kind of Indonesian slang) quotes that I always believe that
everyone have their own problem according to their ability. Thank God this
power of kepepet made me think how to live not alone in neighbors country. Aha!
I just remember that I have a friend who doing her student exchange scholarship
program in my travel destiny country. And then I tried to asked her hardly to
pick me up in airport and accompanying me to travel, and lucky me she want to.
And
because of I’d also poisoned by the book which is writes by Claudia Kaunang, I
ventured myself to travel to Thailand by land transportation from Malaysia. Is
it can? Yes of course it is! There’s nothing impossible in this world.
On
November 8 2015,
i am
arrived at KLIA2. I am very happy because this is my first trip being a solo
traveler but actually I do not really own, there is a friend who was waiting at
the airport. When I had arrived at the airport kuala lumpur, my friends have
not arrived at the airport because he was late for the bus ride from Penang to
kuala lumpur. And for 1 hour I waited for him. I did not dare to go before my
friend came because I was afraid of getting lost.
After my friend and I met, I decided to simply
buy a ticket to KL Sentral, after the bus stop at KL Sentral, I went on a trip
using KL MRT to the hotel is already booking three days ago.
After walking half an hour we finally arrived at
the hotel at 5 pm. We were asked to pay RM70 for the GST, about 200,000 rupiah
while the price per night this hotel is only 150 thousand. I paid cash and by
credit card when booking my hotel when in Indonesia, I was resentful because of
it.
after that we took a shower and rest a while,
finally at 7 pm we decided to walk around the hotel, but it turned out very
heavy rain so we decided to watch the video on youtube. Once the rain stopped
we decided to eat Indian restaurant opposite the hotel. They sell food curry.
When finished eating, I went to the nearest mall from my hostel, this mall is
located close to the MRT station. I was at the mall Mall is only an hour
because it is almost the same with Indonesia.
Second
day
Finally, we
checked out the hotel at 11 and lunch at KFC, because I do not like curry
Then I use the MRT to the central KL
Well. When I arrived at the central KL I think is easy to get a ticket to hatyai, but it is very difficult to buy tickets on the spot. The first counter hatyai told that the bus is no longer just next week. My friend and I tried to ask for the information center, and I had to board a train to Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS). I get TBS 2 hours late. My friend bought a bus ticket that is headed for 51rm hatyai 21.00. While waiting at TBS, we spent time with watching TV, eating in the last sevel and sweets. After 21:30 hours we finally boarded the bus towards hatyai
Around 3 am we arrived at the border of Malaysia, but we have to wait until a new morning 5/6 hour we allowed our passports stamped there.

Third
day
I'm arrived at
hatyai 08.00 we continued our journey to Bangkok using a minivan. the price of
using a minivan to Bangkok was originally 800baht / person but eventually we
were given special prices 650bath / person. but we did not go to Bangkok,
minivan which we ride turned out to be to a place other travel and pick up
others who want to Bangkok. Finally minivan we really went Bangkok at 11:00.
During the road.we did not talk at all with the people around, because my friend and I did not understand the Thai language.
For 13 hours, we finally arrived at Bangkok. Fortunately there are 1 Thais understand English, and he will help us to speak to the taxi driver if we want to khao san road.
After 20min, finally we are at khao san road. But we must walk again to the hotel.

Summary :
1. Don’t ever travel without itinerary, plus if you’re solo traveler. That just makes u in trouble
2. If u wanna save your money in ATM, use CIMB Niaga because it’s the only one u can find when you in Bangkok and Malaysia. If you use the other bank like Mandiri, BNI, etc. You will be charged about 200K rupiah per transaction.
3. Don’t forget to bring small bag like sling bag or something like that to put your cell phone, passport, and your money.
4. Don’t forget to bring action cam (like Go-Pro or something like that)
5. Don’t bring too much shoes, if you’re kind of simply person it’ll more comfort to wear flip flops or sneakers.
6. Don’t bring too much jeans, it just fully your copper. Better you bring pant made by fabric.
7. Packing well, so you can bring many stuffs in a copper
8. Don’t for get to bring cash as you need, because as my experience I can’t use my BCA card in Malaysia and Thailand.
9. Don’t forget to buy some souvenirs for your beloved people in your hometown
