A pillion is not required to wear a helmet, only the rider himself. That's what I like about the town. No speeding that I notice along the road. The loud bikes and aggressive riders mostly aren't the local people. Epol and the gang just went to the beach party. We then get to our own way because the Langkawi Bikers has arrange a dinner party at Kamala Beach for us. We later then see each other again at 10 p.m.
Dinner is set on 8 o'clock. We have the opportunity to walk around the town. The ambient felt like being at Batu Feringgi, but more lively and happening. I would just love to get them seafood, but we didn't notice any halal food stall yet. Some more there isn't much green leafs in my wallet, so the desire need to be hold for a while. A lobster like this cost 1000 Baht a kilo. Man... I'm not suppose to go cheap if I have travel 1,000km to get here. But there is always some other day.
Patong beach form in three main streets. As you walk around, you'll go back to the same spot later in an hour. It is really a nice place to visit. I know my wife would love to come here and I love to explore the food with her.
A tut-tut can carry up to 7 person. I don't know how much the fair really is, but we got ourselves to Rawai which is about 25km away from Patong, cost us 1000 Bath for 7 person for a return trip.
After a short walk in Patong, we meet Albert from Langkawi who has join us at Boomerang Inn later that evening. Another private beach party is held at Kamala Beach and we had our dinner there. The road is exactly like getting from Tanjung Tokong to Batu Fereinggi. But a few surprise of an offroad ride suspend us a little. Going through the steep hill with a ZX10R or ZX14 isn't really a good idea. But we manage to survive. It left us wondering how to climb back up again thou.
They served us with unlimited roti canai, grilled fish, chicken curry and rice for dinner. But we have to pay for the drinks. Good huh? This is my doing before I remember to snap the picture.
Hafiz, Abg Wan and Albert. A nice guy and always have a good point when he is talking. My last pack of cigarettes finished here. Time for some Thai flavored cigarettes from now on. Surprisingly, a pack of 20's here cost cheaper in Malaysia. But taste aren't the same.
After filling up our stomach to the F marker, we sat down at the beach and shared some ghost stories. The tsunami effect are still in memories here.
An hour relaxing on the beach, 5 of us decide to explore Patong ourselves. We then shoot back to our hotel and park our bikes. The Phuket Bike Week beach party are just a walking distance from our hotel. It was Saturday and the crowds are getting bigger by the minute.
Remy pose for something to remember.
The main entrance. Public are welcome.
Here, together with Songkran festival, make the Phuket Bike Week some special event. Lot's of custom bikes are displayed here. It really is great to be here.
We snap a lot of shot like this.
The registration cost 150 Baht. They got themselves a tag and... what else?
Some of the attraction. You have to stand out from others to get noticed here.
Goodies and survinior are also sold here.
Not just custom. Chopper and easy rider are popular model at the bike week.
At the center, there's a stage where live band and some exiting shows are performed. But it's all free to the public. AC/DC played that night. It sound just like them. It left be believe the real AC/DC is in town. But Angus doesn't look and played original enough. A van promoting live Metallica and AC/DC bold the marks even more.
Not just surviniors. DVDs from classic bike movies to the latest MotoGP shows are also available here.
I told you I snap alot of picture like this.
This Harley got my attention. It end up belonging to our bro Lan Haga. He open a booth here too as I notice the Jokers For Life banner hanging up there. I didn't notice him until tomorrow's night.
After the long walk and going through the crowd. He hang out at Dubai, a small restaurant just exactly in front of the Bike Week's gate. A can drink cost 30 Baht, a coffee 40 Baht and a briyani rice at 220 Baht. He ended up eating a few times here until the last day we found a stall selling a fried rice for 50 Baht. Hmm...
Epol then join us here and take us for a walk.
Epol had came here more than once. He know his way around. Najib shops a boot for his lovely wife. Couldn't find the right one thou.
Not just the big custom bike caught my attention. This lovely scooter would make a popular model if they are launch and rightly price here in Malaysia.
The big one cost 2,000 Baht a kilo. I still tell myself that I should get it later.
The end up walking up to the Bangla Street. Nice view and a very happening night life here. Pubs and bistro open until late night. Manage to watch the EPL Chealsea vs Bolton game in suspend. Chelsea got lucky.
