Second Leg at Donsak and towards Samui
Do note that when you're nearing the town Wat Nok, do keep a look out for the road sign that direct you to the Donsak Ferry Terminal.
I took the Raja Ferry service and cost 650 bhat 2-ways for the driver plus the vehicle and 200 bhat 2-ways for every passenger. You can purchase the ticket at the entrance to the terminal (somewhere near the main road) or at the terminal itself. Ferry will leave every hour and when the ferry is full, you have to wait for the next ferry
All lined up, ready to board the ferry

Our first dinner location ... the beach outside the resort 
Our dinner ... yummy =)) 
As we were in Thailand, we decided to try out their local dish instead of international menu. We ordered tom yam soup, steamed sour fish, green curry prawn and stir fried beef.
Verdit: Good value for $$!! Die die must try

The next day, we decided to explore the island and our first stop is the grand father, grand mother rock

In one of the town, we are not allow to go straight into this area. We need to make a huge detour to get around this place and proceed with the road ... Anybody have any idea where this place? 
Arriving Penang Gurney Hawker just in time for Dinner 
Found this stall and huge crowd 
Saw this on their stall ... must be very good 
Verdict: Nothing fantastic...
When you are in Penang, how can you miss this?? 
Verdict: Still as good ... worth to kill your healthy body
The next day ... leaving Penang and heading back home 
Don't ask me where I stay in Penang cus the service I receive from them SUCKS big time
Final thought
Do not let our media discourage you from having a great driveaway holiday as driving up north is relatively easy and safe if you practice some basic common sense.
Also, don't under utilise the ability of your ride. A factory fitted car with proper servicing carried out accordingly to the manufacturer recommandation, will not only bring you to places and also lots of story telling for your grandkid. FYI, the car I drove is already 3yrs old =)
