Anyway, I wanna write about my Danok trip with my buddies, a couple of weeks ago. We were actually at UUM for a few rounds of kart ride and then decided to cross over border to Danok, Thailand for dinner. Fyi, the distance from UUM, Kedah -> Danok is like 15 mins drive and a friend of us, Marcus knows this place very well since he's a frequent traveller to all the fancy clubs and dining places over there. So, we drove over to the border terminal, parked our cars and took a ride in their taxi because out of 7 of us, 1 of us didn't have a passport. And the taxi driver, somehow with "a small fee" was able to bring my friend to cross border without hassle. Me, being the sua pak kau was very kan cheong and excited because:
1: It was my 1st trip to Danok;
2: Very scared lor, what if they tahan us because our friend didn't have a passport and our faces all looked like orang tahanan *think too much but got possible also okay*;
3: Like I said, very excited lor, when checking passport time, right leg already in Thailand, left leg still at Malaysia.
The first thing we did (or I did) was to act like a tourist. "Wah~ their shophouses like our Butterworth area let", "See see see, Mc D Mc D", "Eh, 7-11 also got" *kept on pulling my bf's sleeves and repeated the above phrases until he showed me the dulan face and meh-ly replied "huh huh huh". So cold lah him, no expression one.
Then, our dear Marcus, with his very little comprehension of Thai language and loads of sign language managed to tell the lorry driver to drive us to this dining place near the seaside or lake side, I think the name is Seaview or something. Highly recommended by Marcus because the portion is huge and delicious and most importantly, sipek cheap. Photos later to justify his claim.
7 of us in the lorry, that's Uncle Juice playing with his phone. The restaurant was located not really far from the city but it's not within walking distance as well la. The ride took about 20 minutes due to the poor condition of the road, very bumpy and all along we saw motorcyclist without helmets one. Very daring lor somomore like no law one.
Beautiful view of the place. The concept is like a few houses surrounding the lake then they will cook at one of the houses and deliver your food to your "house" in a boat. How cool is that!
We sat at the last corner or the last "atap house" because even though it was only 6pm, the place was already packed with most tourists, like us and also the locals. Without further hesitation, we "assigned" our "tour guide", Marcus to order food cause we were hungry like wolfs, like real hungry wolfs okay! And Marcus, again with sign language pointed to a few dishes in the menu. So, let's go through the photo to see how good, and I mean how really good the food were.
In Thai restaurant, sure must order tomyum. We ordered this seafood tomyum, generous amount of ingredients, right level of spicyness and smell so good to make your nostrils "lao pi cui"! First taste of the soup, Ohh My Fucking God, beyond heaven man! Makes you go Oooommmppphhh..... Btw, I've learnt a new Thai phrase too. If you want your tomyum to be less spicy / hot, you tell them "mae pit lam pa"
Repeat after me, "Mae pit lam pa"
"Mae pit lam pa, mae pit lam pa, mae pit lam pa"
(In Hokkien, it means "Don't break my balls" Mae pit = don't break, lam pa = balls, manly balls okay"
Hahahahahahahaha! I find this phrase so lame and funny that the moment I came home, I immediately tell my family and practically everyone I met after that.
Okay, enough of lam pa.
We had this chicken in tomato gravy and omelette as well. Omelette was just ok, typical dish you have everywhere but the thing is, they have taugeh inside so maybe that's what makes it special. Chicken in tomato gravy also not so bad but too much vegetables that I don't eat hehe There were also a dish of fish & pork knuckles but no photos because too hungry liao, already mum mum cannot stop to take photos. Our dinner that night was only RM 170 + with unlimited rice refill & sugar cane drinks refill, which sums up to about 25 bucks per person. So worth it man! Should bring my family over here one weekend.
The lorry dropped us back to the city and it was time to explore the night life of Thailand. Since the border gate closes at 12am, we had at least 5 hours to kill. We walked a few streets and like sua huan spent 20 minutes in 7-11 to see what they have there and wondered why things are much cheaper. Blah blah blah walked some more until Marcus suggested that we went to this famous (or infamous to some due to explicit reason) club in the city, called YES CLUB!
YES la! Let's go to YES club la!
Warning: Some of the pictures below are not suitable for those below 18. But this warning no point one la, I warn liao make you more curious only right. Zh'ng lan right?
We walked in, they showed us backsides, so I show you backsides lo. Bf said since prostitution is legal in Thai, this kind of sight is very common. Gals in bikinis lining up on stage, parading like model. See the lady with flower garlands? Alright, if the patrons like any of the gal on stage, he/she but most probably he can buy a garland and hang it on the gal's neck, then the gal "belongs to his table" that night, you know serving drinks, joke a bit, massage a bit, got extra service or not I don't know and too paiseh to ask also.
Closer look. One thing I must say, Marcus really a VIP there. He walked in, we sat at his usual table and ordered 10 bottles of Tiger at only RM 200. With free snacks and fruits some more.
And if you think they only have some
And here, we have Thadele (Thai version of Adele), with very powerful voice "Never mind I'll find someone like youuuuuu"
And now, Thai version of Jacky Cheung & I-don't-know-the-name-of-that -HK-female-singer, side-by-side dueting "wo yao song ni hong sek mei gui~
I guarantee you, if YES were to open in Malaysia, Zouk can close shop. Soju can go
But before we left, we didn't miss the chance to tapau pork burger from Mc D. It was so yummeh that Mr Bf finished his burger and took half of mine too =.......=
Thank you guys for this wonderful day! - Victor, Melina, Justin, Allen, Janice and last but not least, our beloved tour guide Marcus.
When shall we go again? :D
