How to get from Pak Bara to Koh Lipe

At a lost on how to get to Koh Lipe? Stuck at Pak Bara or going over but finding it hard to get the schedules for the ferry/speedboat?

Route Boat Type Departure Return Trip Price
(1 way)		 Price
(2 ways)
Pak Bara - Tarutao - Adang - Lipe Speed Boat 11.30 AM
14.30 PM		 9.30 AM
13.30 PM		 650 THB 1200 THB
Pak Bara - Adang - Lipe Ferry 11.45 AM 10.00 AM 600 THB 1200 THB

Things you need to know before embarking on your journey:
  • Have light to no breakfast before the boat trip as you might feel nauseated
  • The boat trip can range from 1 to 3 hours depending on weather(rough sea could mean you throwing up your breakfast in the boat)
  • Be prepared to get wet(occasional splashes and also when disembarking on the island)
  • You might need the sea gypsies to taxi you from the shores of the island to the island itself and they charge 50THB/pax
  • Always book ahead of your trip for the boat/ferry to ensure you get a place
  • Arrive 30 minutes earlier at the terminal
One company I would strongly recommend as their service is superb is the B&D travel
Tel: 086-9642623, 086-2823348, Fax: 074-783062

Note: It's better to go direct to their counter just outside the ferry terminal to ask for a better rate. Depending on the season, they might offer you a better price.

Something funny at the bus station

Image
Note: Yes this is another bus station saga sequel but it's a funny one. While waiting for the bus today, I realized something really funny. Stop staring at the picture will you? Where do you find pigs in KL running around getting humped by a dog. If you don't stop staring I will get my dog to hump you instead. hahaha. Ok back to the story. I saw the condition below. More like it right? Then there was this mother who was bringing her son to school waiting for a bus. The son asked the mum, "Mummy, what are the 2 doggie doing? The mum had a look and was shocked so she answered her son, "They are just chatting. You know mummy always hug daddy and chat on the sofa? Dogs don't have sofa so they hug each other and chat". Now comes the fun part. An European guy passed by and snooped listened to the mother and son conversation. He just tap at the small kid and tell him, "Your mummy is lying to you." The boy then turned to his mum and looked at her. She quic...

I am sure many of you have read blogs, articles and maybe the newspapers on how successful the Nokia Comes With Music X6 launch event is. I know of a few who even blogged and showed videos of the event. No I am not here to give you the same type of posting like previously done. Like the old saying there's always 2 sides of a coin or there is always 2 sides with different view. So now you have heard about the other side, I am here to give you the different side. To me, the event was a failure. Want to know why? Read on. First there is the advertisement all over the place saying they will sell 66 units of X6 at RM66 on a ballot basis which will be given out at 7 on that day.

Of Public transport and buses(5 good ways to stop a bus)

Image
Note: I am not responsible if you follow the advice in this post and get pwned. It's merely for the fun and joy of reading but you can always try and see if you have the luck. Ever had one of those days when you were standing at the bus stop in a rainy day and then the bus just speed past? It's not enough that you have waited for over an hour but to make things worse, as the bus speed by, the wheels run over the puddle of water filling the landmines(we call potholes that here in Malaysia) and you get all wet? I am sure those unfortunate ones without the luxury of always having a car or enough money to get taxi would face the endless wait for buses in KL. Imagine if this is happening in the middle of the town, what could happen to those who are in rural areas? So what can we as citizens do? Complain to the road transport minister/department/LPKP(yes there are numbers at the back of the bus and you can sms too)? Will they work? If you think so then clearly you are new to Malays...
