World Tour For Children... you are not forgotten: 10- 16 April 2014 Singapore to Phuket Thailand for the 20th Anniversary Phuket Bike Week

The ride to Phuket from Singapore was started with a simple invite by our team captain, KC a few months ago. It was an invite to join bigger and established team, Militia Riders of Singapore and Malaysia. The rest was history.

As part of HPG (for the sake of non riders- HPG means Harley Passion Group), we do maintain a simple but active Whatsapp chat forum where a small group of riders (mainly Harley Davidson enthusiastic) keep in touch and exchanging ideas on safe riding culture in Singapore.

Jurong McDonald- We Go As One, We Back As One

We left Singapore on 10April 0200hrs from Jurong McDonald with high spirit. The team determine to arrive Haadyai Thailand on the same day before dark and that means we have approximately 15 hours of riding time to cover 950km.

Such a beautiful sight...... But wait, what's that spot in the foreground reflecting the flash?

Our team arrived at Malaysia- Thai border approximately 10April 2014 at 1500hrs LT. Everybody is 'lembik' (soft) by now and we eager to cross border. This is first time experience for some of our team members.

Chillin' out like a boss..... Ain't goin' no where since steven's bike is leaking oil (second breakdown!)

Breakdown 2 for Steven

"Haaaaar....? Like this then how? Steven i think you call cab lah....."

At the thai border liao but cannot get through coz V.t. Lee, Derrick & Kelvin Chan too handsome kena detained by customs to take picture and autographs

With all the drama and efforts, we finally arrived at our hotel in Haadyai (can't remember the name of hotel) at about 1800hrs. By now, all we need is a chill out drinks and a hot shower! Few of us managed to catch a drinks or two while waiting for the rest to be ready for dinner.

Since most of us in the team has been to Haadyai before (and some of the guys even speak fluent Thai! phut Thai keng mak!!!) so we decided to walk to the nearest Halal stall for dinner and it turns out fantastic!

I have to fast forward the blog here since I am rushing for time. Nonetheless, I don't think many of yo guy actually reads the content too, right? so I won't bother putting too much wording here for you.

In summary, all our team arrived Phuket, Thailand on 11 April 2014 evening in one piece (with exception we had a small near miss along the road) and we had good fun for the next 3 days in Phuket and we are looking forward for our next trip soon!
