Bkk-perhentians & Accom Advice Sought

[Wesley]

Anybody done this?

Help me choose the best way to get to Kuala Besut

1. AirAsia BKK-KL, then KL -Khota Baru, Bus to Kuala Besut

2. AirAsia BKK-Narathiwat, Something overland to KB.

Am thinking 1 looks good but it seems a bit retarded to go all the way down to KL then back again (+ a bit more growth on my already giant carbon footprint). KL-KB flight only RM 71!

Is 2 a stupid option (hassle/time-wise)?

If I take option 1 can I do immigration at KB rather than KL? (and if i can should I?)

Recomend me a place to stay - Me and an old friend - looking for peace, beauty and snoozing holiday. Not really party people. Long beach seems like the default option. I'd be intertested in other beaches and specific accomodation advice

Any thoughts welcome

Peace,

Wes

Option 1 is easy,fast and cheap if you buy ticket in advance.Customs/immigration only in KL,fast and easy!Going to Narathivat is silly and expensive.

If you have time and you want to save money - go by bus or train(better) to border town SongolGolok and walk into Malaysia

and then proceed according to your means - bus or taxi.

If you want to reduce your carbon footprint, take garbage bag with you to your destination

and bring the garbage yourself back to mainland;they have problem with it.

fantuzi: thanks for the reply.

Via KL it is!

I like the garbage bag idea.
