About half way to Kenting, the driver will stop at a place for pee pee (can’t remember the name of the location). So no worries for those who can’t take a long journey without toilet breaks.

After check in at our hotel, we walk down the Kenting street and at 2pm, there was not alot of shop open. None of the food restaurant caught our eyes as well so in the end, we had the food at the above restaurant followed by Mcdonalds! haha. Fast food is available there as well as KFC.

Better off walking around the streets at night and spend day time at the beach!

To visit all the places in Kenting, the best option is to rent the scooter! I just love riding the bike around. Zoooooooom
For those who can’t ride, you have to take the local tour buses. Don’t bother taking taxis. Super expensive here.
