1735-2560 (Satun)
Posted by Stuart at 04:35 PM on October 20, 2003The drive back to Thailand from Kuala Lumpur was uneventful. We decided to take the tollway back and I have to admit I didn't mind paying the tolls to drive on the best highway I have seen in Asia.
As soon as we crossed back over the border into Thailand we could see the difference right away. What little shoulders there were on the road were filled with food vendors, sleeping dogs, parked motorcyles, motorcyles going in our direction, motorcycles coming toward us. It was somewhat disapointing to dip back into the chaos that is Thailand, but somewhat comforting to be back.
For example, in one small town we had never seen before we easily found the Night Market and we knew exactly which food vendor to get the food we wanted. We knew how to order and we knew what to expect. So even the chaos has organization and patterns that were very comforting to road-weary travelers like ourselves.
