Betong, Thailand #1

Its a mommy-daughter bonding trip.
~
Frankly speaking, this trip is an AUNTIES TRIP!!
~
Mostly or i could say ALL....
the tourist in this trip were Ah Soh, Auntie, Ah Gu, Ah Poh and their daughters and grand-daughters.
~
At the very beginning, i thought i'll be going to Patong, Thailand!!
Imagining how *syiok* it wound be to spend time on beaches and ski ride!!
~
But MIS-COMMUNICATION HappenED!!!
Betong and Patong in Cantonese pronounce exactly the same!!
Getting only minimum info from my mom.
~
I ended up in Betong and NOT Patong!!
~
Darn FRUST!!
but i just gota accept the fact and TRY to have some fun.
~

Betong is located in most-Southern Thailand.
Thus, we cross the Malaysia-Thailand Border at Keroh, Perak.
Its Ipoh look alike with Ah Gua by the road.
Due to its location towards the boundary of Malaysia, transactions of purchases can be done in either Baht or Ringgit.
~
10Baht = 1MYR (correction)
~
Buying a can of Coke cost 16 Baht equivalent to MYR 1.60.
So, no big difference in purchasing power!!

As Thailand is always famous for its temple, that's the 1st destination we visited.





Pictures not very good quality cause taken using phone camera.
