In December 2021, I took a 3-weeks leave and spent the first few weeks in the Northern region of Malaysia. I went on a roadtrip there via the train called ETS. It was my first time to ride it.
I bought a one-way ticket to the last destination up north which is Padang Besar, Perlis. It is really close to the Thailand border. The borders are closed but the Thai foods are available in Padang Besar, so of course, I had only Thai foods when I was there..hehe. Good foods.
I didn’t do much there. I walked around the paddy fields and lakes. I also rented a car (it was a last minute decision). During my trip, the weather was great. Some days are sunny but cloudy and sometimes it rain in the evening.
It was one of my trip that I don’t have any plans on where to go next. I will only take the train once I confirmed the next destination back south. It’s nice to sit and just watch people walk-by.
Along the way, I would call my friends asking some food advices/recommendation to eat at that particular city or town. And boy, was all their recommended foods are yummyyy..hehe.
It was a memorable trip before entering 2022.
