planning a 2,800km ride...

planning the ride has always been my favourite part of a trip...


route, packing list, place to stay, places to eat, nice food in area, service bike, tires, riding buddies, trip briefing, anticipation, etc are amongst the things to think about...


route planning is my utmost enjoyment.. have a destination, and plan everything in between... ride distance, petrol stop, lunch, hotel, places of interest etc..


this time... a trip to meet my fellow Motorraders in Hua Hin after their month long trip to the golden triangle and more.


Destination: Hua Hin
3 days to arrive (at leisure time)
places of interest: KawThoung of Myanmar, the corners of Ranong-Chumphon, the nice roads and corners of PhangNga-TakuaPa.


So planned the following:
Day 1: KL-Trang (700km)
Day 2: Trang-Ranong (450km)
Day 3: Ranong/KhawThoung
Day 4: Ranong-HuaHin (380km) - meeting point with JWs
Day 5: HuaHin
Day 6: HuaHin-Surat Thani (470km)
Day 7: Surat Thani-Hat yai (340km)
Day 8: Hat yai-KL (540km)


here's how it looks like on google map... :)




now... a route plan and schedule in place... apply leave and on with packing list etc... :)
