A Travel Day

How does one get from, say, Hat Yai Thailand to Ko Taturao, an island and National Park located in the Straits of Malacca?  This is sort of a typical travel day for me, a travel day being one where I transit from one location to another.

First, after a careful regimen of double walkie breakfast, its time to hop into the vomit van for the ride North.  Always sit in the far back so you can watch your fellow passengers and, have further to fly if the van hits something.


Next, enjoy the ride, along with thirteen other Farang squashed into a top heave mini-bus.

Arriving at the Pakbara Pier, find your speedboat guy.  Make sure he is your speedboat guy and not some other speedboat guy impersonating your speedboat guy, or you could end up on the wrong Ko.


Bounce across the Andaman Sea at 70 Kilometers per hour until you reach the island.
