280 Pesos/ 7 usd Thailand to Malaysia for 3 hours Train Trip! Story + Tips + Cost Breakdown!

-



Cheap? Totally Cheap! That is why I am still stuck in Southeast Asia because aside that is composed of different amazing has to offer for sightseeing to food, it is also cheap to stay!

Albeit, countries have a different standard of living but when you know how to live the simplest life as you can then you can also afford to do it!

One thing that makes it cheap is - you do not have to take a flight for countries that can be traveled by lands like train and buses.

Definitely, my title is surprising because it is damn so cheap and so short travel. The following is the breakdown cost


Hatyai Thailand- Padang Besar (border for 55 minutes *train) - 2usd or 80 pesos
(Bangkok Thailand- Hatyai Thailand *24usd by bus - just if you are in Bangkok)
Pedang Basar to Butterworth, Malaysia (1hr- 51 mins *train) - 4 usd or 200 pesos


And there you go YOU ARE IN MALAYSIA ALREADY!

Butterworth is a nice place but I recommend you to cross the by boat to Penang, Malaysia to GEORGETOWN for only 1 Ringgit and 1 usd = 4 ringgit and that 1 ringgit is already a back and forth for the boat which means from Georgetown to Butterworth - NO NEED TO PAY!

Georgetown is one of my best city that I have been as it has been a mixture of culture, food and people. I found out that Malaysian they can speak 4 languages - MALAY, CHINESE, ENGLISH and INDIAN. 

The food and culture that I found out - made me fall in love with this City!

Accommodation varies to your type the least cost starts 10 usd including tax.

TAKE NOTE: ALL FOREIGNERS SHOULD PAY EXTRA EVERY NIGHT FOR FOREIGN TAX.
If you see in booking it is only 7 usd then it is not exactly you will pay usually 1 more usd or more.

Georgetown- this is when I trveled by boat from Butterworth to Georgetown :)

Georgetown, Malaysia - English buildings!

Watching a Chinese drama in real, also in Georgetown Penang , Malaysia.

My Kuala Lumpur blog will be in another blog as it is another story and I have so much to say about Kuala Lumpur too.

Also, from Butterworth to Kuala Lumpur by bus for 5 hours is only 9 usd.

Brazil is such a huge country with 8.516 million km² . To picture out how big Brazil is down below shows how massive it is. Brazil is a combination of countries packed in one massive land. Also, Brazil is the only Latin America country that do not speak Spanish but Portuguese. It is remarkably interesting diverse country that I stayed for 10 months, yes almost a year. To name some of the interesting facts: 1.        If you want hot and completely hot for the entire year – go to North. 2.        If you want four seasons – go to South! 3.        Carnival is more celebrated in compare to Christmas or New Year 4.        They pronounce H if the word starts with like Rio de Janeiro must be pronounce as Hio de Janeiro 5.        Every state has different an amazing to offer 6.        All faces, colors and races – you can find there 7.        They do not have natural calamities at all so the only problem is some people like robber and killer or with guns 8.        Amazon h

Along the way after I decided to expose myself in traveling I discover that there is another way to live in this life- not only, get a stable job, getting married, and build a family. We all knew that life is really uncertain- am I dying? I do not know- that is the ironic in this life because we do not know unfortunately. I know I am 24 years old, not married, not stable but what I am doing is what I want to do before I die, so I hope you respect my last wish. I do not want to think that I have so much time to waste to spend before it is too late. Do I miss my family and all the people I loved and left?- Yes of course.   Bangkok Thailand, 2015 What am I doing is one way to keep them updated. I want to inspire others  that in this life- you don't have to follow of what others told you to do but do it because that makes you happy. And for me, what makes me happy is sharing my experience to others that there is still hope to live the life you wanted. It is not abo

What exactly I always here while working in here (I mean my part time job now), Hi I am a cashier of a 24/6 convenience store and my shift is every TTH from 7pm to 7 am. True that our price is higher compare to other store but what we differ from them is we serve 24/6, meaning it is what exactly explains why our price is higher a bit. Also, the panel or the supplier is not on time so we buy some products in bulk to the big distributor store that is at the same time located in the same area as we are. When customer shares her/ his experience and they ask you what will you do if u are them. Supposedly u don't care but customer tell you u are mean and bitch if u dont care. I just experience it awhile ago, i have no voice and the customer is blah blah and he ask me and i just look at him and smile- i tell you he just said after, "the cashier is so mean"... Hahahah well base in my current status, I don't care, i got no voice lol. You feel it? Agggh! Same here! Especially t
