Route through Malaysia
Hi everybody. I'm in Phuket right now and will be making my way to Singapore in a few days. As it stands, I'm in a bit of a hurry and I'd like to get there in about a week.
Two questions:
1) Can anybody recommend a route south to Malaysia? The separatist violence in southern Thailand is a bit worrying and I was wondering which provinces or regions might be best avoided. It looks like the crossing on the main road, through Hat Yai and then Sadao, is my best bet. Or is it?
2) What about the Malaysian route? Again, I've got about 6 days. I have to hit Kuala Lumpur to pick up some equipment, but apart from that I'm totally wide open. Any recommendations? I read somewhere that the tea plantations in the Cameron Highlands make for some excellent riding.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
JVM
