(^6) MALAYSIA
3 205 Kilometres - 95 Days
Hat Yai, Thailand – Alor Setar, Malaysia - 105 km
After an easy 55-kilometre cycle, I arrived at the Thailand-Malaysia.
It was a hassle-free border crossing experience, and the entry
process was effortless. I was automatically granted a 90-day stay,
which was a relief. Sixty kilometres later, I reached Alor Setar, which
is known as the gateway to Langkawi. However, I hadn't planned to
go there and was only looking for a place to spend the night.
While no country is perfect, some come closer to paradise than
others. With Malaysia’s delicious cuisine that blends Malay, Chinese,
and Indian, I was in my element and felt that Malaysia rightfully
earned a top spot on my list of paradise-like destinations. The aroma
of spices and the sizzle of the hotplates at the night market next to
the guesthouse where I stayed was a sensory delight. I was spoilt for
choice and couldn't resist trying more than one roti canai, especially
since they were only RM1 each.
