Genting..after a long while..

this time it's without my car...
YS Khong wanted to test out the mazda 6 so 4 cars went up..
Mazda6, Subaru Imprezza, BMW M4(never seen one..never even knew it existed!) and a HachiRoku!!

but i got to ride shotgun in Ivan Khong's 2.5litre 6speed Subaru Imprezza aka Big Red Chicken Wing!...
and IMPRESSED i was..!!

had my thrills and spills... it was raining...road was wet...
car was going everywhere!!

had crazy drifts(intentional and unintentional..) even a spinout!!!

YS as usual handled the Mazda6 like a seasoned pro...with the hachiroku left faar behind!!

anyway thanks Ivan for taking me shotgun!! let's do it again!!

The trip took us 8 hours to Hatyai, 4 hours to SuratThani, 1 hour to Dongsak and finally 3 hours to Koh Phangan.. a word of caution if u guys are traveling in Thailand..beware of the fat lady travel agent in SuratThani..if ur there chances are u will have to deal with her… EVERY SINGLE PERSON we’ve talked to was duped by her.. even diddy’s brother who went 2 years ago.. FUCKIN BITCH!

Guess what I did on my first day in Koh Phangan??? I GOT MYSELF A TATTOO!!

This is an area where ppl too drunk to even stand can pass out...I SHIT U NOT!! there's even a huge caucasion guard there to stop ppl from harrassing the drunkards!!

We went around the island on our bikes almost everyday.. the view around the island..expecially the coast is awesome…words can’t do it justice…heck even pictures can’t do it justice…
