I had to edit this post because the most impressive part of this trip shouldn't be hidden at the end of this post.

One of the most impressive things we did for this trip was we only took 7 hours to get back(border to border)!!!!! And on HARLEYS mate! There was direct sun for less than an hour, rain for 30 seconds and that was it.


Bikes were prep with saddles but the riders won't ready. Gambit and I was so excited about this trip and we couldn't stop BB message each other.





What a fantastic weekend as the Team Impromptu (Gambit, Flash & myself) headed north for another Hat Yai weekend escapade. The ride up was a little slow, cost us 12.5 hours under sunshine and rain. We wasted an hour on lunch and another hour waiting for the rain to ease while we were on our wet gear WTF!

The food has always been that great and we had nothing but street push cart food. How about SCMC for Street Chow MC haha kidding Chief.

Flash's introduction to the river prawns was superb. Our hands and mouth were so greasy and because the food was so good, what the heck I am not letting them go to take pictures for you. You choose to salivate over my words than to taste the real deal haha. 200 baht for a monster prawn! I wish you were there.





What a blessing in disguise, Sakura was fully booked and we found a cheaper hotel just minutes away from Sakura called Kosit Hotel. 850 baht vs 600 baht, which means Kosit has Sakura standard with a complimentary massage haha. Doesn't matter if there's no covered parking cos we heck care and left the bikes at Sakura. The photo below was taken in Basement 2, I guessed it matters not B1 or B2 if there's a flood.



I am amazed how clean the place was after the recent flood and we were told residence had to live in hotels during the sky juice gush. There were no electricity, no aircon (duh) and no life. The people survived on mineral water and snacked for 2 days. I can never thank god enough that we won't there during the flood for 1) our bikes would be farked totally and 2) we would have been bored to death. Many shops went through a new paint but I managed to spot the water level on one of the apartment wall, easily 1.6 meters high.



Since there are not many pictures and many of us have been there before but the three of us agreed "IT ONLY GETS BETTER EACH TIME!"

Thank god we got home safe!
