South Thailand - Hatyai








End of the journey. Distance travelled, 2,800km. Number of diesel top ups, 4 times at 2,700THB a pop. At 41 to 42 THB per litre, diesel is more expensive than petrol in Thailand and even more expensive than in Singapore. Had it not been for the low-gear mountain climbs and twisty roads, consumption would have been much better. The Hilux managed over 800kms on the long straight highway from Cha'am to Hatyai, at an average speed of 130km/h with a quarter tank remaining. No doubt it will pass 1,000km at a constant 110km/h.
