2013 Travellog : Bangkok (Day-1) Embark of Our 2013 Journey

As per plan 2 months earlier last year, our trip to Bangkok began today. *Nervous* & *Excited*. And yes, i havent packed my stuff yet. Bought pretty big backpack last night in Aeon Perda cost me RM176, after 20% discount . Well, looking forwards for more travelling this year, this bag worth the price.

So, I was awake at 6.30am for Subuh, and followed after, both of my friends, Fle & Nze got awake. We went to Kapitan (again, i know :P ) for breakfast around 7.30am, and drop by at Petronas station to bought some stuff to brought in a train later, and get back home around 9am. I called taxi from Bukit Mertajam earlier to asked the uncle to pick us up around 12.30pm earlier, but too bad, he said he's available only at 12pm. (our depart time was at 2.45pm tho, and frankly,i just hate to be there early. *sigh*). But rather than risking our journey of missed the train, so we had to leave at 12pm to KTM Butterworth. It's not far from my place tho, as it tooks only like 20mins (without bad traffic jammed). 

So, me & Nze tapau foods from the auntie who's selling in front of the minimart at ground floor of my building - as Kak Lily (the regular visitors of Bgkok) advise me to bought food from outside, as it was hard to find Halal food inside the train as they tend to mixed both halal & non-halal food, that would lead to doubtness on its halalness. 

We've reached KTM Butterworth around 12.20mins, and straight went to the food court around, and both Fle & Nze grabs some lunch there. We've board to the train around 1.35pm, and there was only 2 coach train from Butterworth to Bangkok, as from what I read before, this train will be joint to another train coach in Hatyai Junction, so basically, it will be a long train when it reached Bangkok.

Us , just reached KTM , waiting for the train :) Fresh face, ok ! *giggling*

Us, again, before depart, in front of BKK train *smile*

look at this sign for your seat accordingly, on the side of the seat. (sorry, its kinda blurry since the train was still moving and the camera position became unstable, and it was taken by my HTC phone)

my newly bought travel backpack, which cost me RM176, worth the price. :)

and newly bought flipflop for comfortable journey, cost me another RM50.

Nze who's sitting on the opposite lower berth, still fresh .  

and both of us, pretty sleepy on our depart day. *LoLx* I know, look at how smiley Fle was, but seriously, we fall asleep followed after. sorry for my ugly pose. ngaa 

It was around 6.30pm, that we had stopped at Padang Besar for immigration check point, and how funny it was that we were not aware actually that we need to go thru both Malaysia and Thai immigration, when the Thai's officer called us, "adik , adik.. Siam immigration here..here" *dush* and the funny part was when i was straight away rush to the counter, but then he came again , asked me to step on the allocated box, stand straight still, and look at the camera on the counter. This is for the passport face recognition purposes, and im being dumbfounded for awhile. Still, it's forgivable for me as a noob traveller :P It does makes sense, doesn't it? 

Pre-ordered dinner and breakfast in train, at Hatyai Junction.  Seriously, language barrier was the only issue here. 

  

 Both of them had delicious tomyam during the dinner, and me..

.. just had my previous tapau food for dinner without table..(the train attendant is #&%$^#. just because i didnt order for food, she does not want to open the table for me, but took what supposed to be my table in my coach to be used for the passenger at the back ! mmg *pissed off* okay !)

getting ready for bed :) Fle had to be in the upper berth since she lost in rock, paper , scissor game :D

That's the story on beginning of our journey, on D-1 ! Good night, everybody . Will be uploading soon for D-2, pretty tight up with works after long holiday. Stay tuned!

..and sincerely apologized for the bad quality of the image - it was all taken by our SMART phone :)
