Malaya

Written by on Saturday, July 18, 1970

Still going!  Everyone is still putting up with the discomfort ok. Reached the Malay border about 6pm They wouldn’t let the French guy through he only had $3 Don’t know how we managed it, put £45 and $50 and 700 Baht on all 3 forms, Bev showed the money first passed it to me then I passed it on to Syl, we got a 2 week entry visa, which is more than some got with more money. Stayed the night at Butterworth, cheap hotel 4 Malay $ a room, it was a good hotel. Sat up half the night smoking and talking. Finally after 4 days cramped up in LD we arrive in Kuala Lumper, dropped 2 lads off then went to the youth hostel and slept in grounds.

( Note: Malayan  customs would not let you enter unless you had  a certain amount of cash,  and didn’t  look like a ‘hippie’ Syl  cut our hair before we left Bangkok)
