DAY 1 On 6 May 2023 at 430 am, we Dup4A students started their journey from kuantan metro polytechnic by taking a bus to Kuala Lumpur KLIA 2, the journey from kuantan to kuala lumpur did not take long, only taking 3 hours. Arriving at klia 2, we went straight to the airport to board the myairline plane and continue our journey to Langkawi Island. The journey to Langkawi is not that long, it only takes 2 hours and we continue to arrive at the island of Langkawi Airport which is very fun because we can see the beautiful scenery while boarding the plane. As soon as I got to Langkawi Island, I continued to change the Malaysian ringgit to baht. Our van was ready to wait at the airport and the dup4A students immediately boarded the van and went straight to the hotel to rest for a while. We chose the Baron hotel in Langkawi. After checking in we were required to get ready and go down to eat. After eating, we went straight to the HGI Duty Free complex, what was interesting there because there were various chocolates and cheap items, I was very happy because I am a chocolate lover.
There I have bought a lot of chocolates and fruits for my family after finishing we went straight to lang square, this is a great experience for me because this is the first time to visit and come to langkawi island and see for myself the eagles and the beautiful area and scenery around. Here there are also many tourists who visit , . After we finished going to the plain, we continued our journey to the cenang beach, there were too many visitors on this beach, especially from swirthzland. This beach also provides chairs for rent by visitors to enjoy the beautiful view of Cenang beach while enjoying the fire show. After a few minutes there, the weather was cloudy and continued to rain, we decided to go back to the hotel and rest to continue our next trip on May 7.
DAY 2 After we checked out of the baron hotel, we rushed to Kuah jetty to board the ferry and continue to satun, which took about 2 hours. What was interesting about the second day was that once we arrived at satun, we continued our journey to wong sai thong to do kayaking activities. , This was a fun and great experience for me because it was also a great adventure for me because I had to follow the current of the river that was so strong, we kayaked for 8km, while kayaking we had so much fun because the water was so strong and our kayak boat almost overturned and hook After finishing we continued to eat at the restaurant there too, the food was very tasty and most importantly halal. And we went straight home to check in at starin resort satun
DAY 3 On the third day we continued our journey, this third day we had activities at the college community in Satun, there I could see their culture more clearly, it was fun because the people there were so friendly and humble, there we introduced ourselves. There students and dup4A students also performed traditional dances, the zapin dance. In addition, Chinese dance and closing dance. Not only us, but students from satun community college also made their cultural dance. What I was interested in was that we both stood up to sing the national song of Malaysia, and together sang my country's song, and then continued by singing their national song which is Thailand. After finishing the activity at satun community college, we continued our journey to the mosque to do the next activity which is CSR, there we have already worked together to clean the mosque. DAY 3
DAY 4 On the fourth day, we headed to Chang Puak Elephant camp, there are elephants, and there are also other activities that can be done, one of which is riding an ATV. In addition, there we can also feed the elephant, this is the first time I have seen an elephant, the ticket to ride the elephant is 500 baht, there we have also interviewed tourists who are there, from Malaysia and Singapore. After finishing at chang puak camp we continue our journey to samila beach, here there are many foreign tourists, there are many visitors who are enjoying the beautiful and beautiful scenery, there tourists can also ride horses for 200baht 2 rounds. In addition, I have also bought the most famous coconut ice cream at Samila Beach, the taste of the coconut ice cream is very different from Malaysia, it tastes like coconut, it is more thick and sweet fat that is full of coconut jelly and full of coconut fruit for only 40 baht. Malaysian money is 4 ringgit.
On this beach there is also a mermaid statue that was created in 1966. By jitr buabus, a small part tells about the mermaid who combed her hair with a golden comb on the beach one starry night and thus officially the statue is The Songkhla Mermaid named Golden Mermaid, or Nang Nguek Thong. There are also merchants selling food and souvenirs and clothes. After finishing at samila beach we continued our journey to the Asean Night Market, what was interesting to me because of the variety of interesting food, but I only chose the hot dish which is paprika fried rice for 80 baht, the taste of paprika fried rice is different from Malaysia because in Thailand it is more like black paper, the store's special menu is tomyum. The store's operating hours are Tuesday - Sunday from 4:30 pm to 10 pm.
May 10, 2023 is our last day in Thailand, we continue to go back to Malaysia, enter Padang Besar by train, and head to Kuala Lumpur. DAY 5
