All of us gathered at the carpark around 6:50am, and after few briefing, we departed from Hatyai around 7:15am.
During the planning of this trip, we already can foresee the group will be separate into at least 2 group, group "laju" and group "slow". Anyhow, we already briefed before departure that first pitstop will be around 150km from the hotel.

| First pitstop, Phatthalung |
After the first pitstop, the first group begin to slightly add more pressure on their throttle, and we decided to meet up only @ the jetty, not stopping at the same pitstop.
With much help from the Google Maps navigation, second group managed to arrive @ Raja ferry jetty around 10:50am, and no sign of the 1st group...
Even though there was ferry awaiting to go into Koh Samui, but without the fast group arrival, we decided to skip and wait for the next ferry. After almost 45mins of waiting, the fast group arrived. Their leader (which had been to Koh Samui almost 5 times) lost, and they had went for extra miles to arrive. Sadly to say, the ferry which previously awaiting, had sailed off, few minutes before their arrival, therefore, all of us (14 bikes) had no choice but wait for another 1hr for next ferry. (puihhh, kononnya geng laju, arrowhead pandai jalan siam, dah banyak kali sampai dah, sesat gak.... end up semua kena delay almost 2 hrs).
The cost of ferry ticket, for 1 rider + big bike is 230 Baht, and if with pillion, additional 130 Baht.
After much waiting at the jetty, finally we manage to board around 2:00pm....
The ferry journey took us 1.5 hrs, and decided to take a short nap....
More write up after this...
