The road trip commenced as TikTok user @xinjiaporean and her husband embarked on a thrilling drive from Singapore to Bangkok. Covering a distance of approximately 1,948 kilometers, the couple’s journey lasted for three days.
To ensure a comfortable ride, they made short stops every three hours for a quick toilet break while traversing from one city to another.
On the first day, the couple set out on their road trip, spending approximately seven hours behind the wheel to reach Hatyai from Singapore. The following day, they continued their expedition from Hatyai to Huahin, enduring a drive of around nine and a half hours. Finally, on the third day, they pushed forward for an additional three and a half hours, successfully reaching the vibrant city of Bangkok.
The couple’s road trip extravaganza didn’t conclude with their arrival in Bangkok. During their eight nights on the road, they embarked on an extended adventure, exploring other captivating destinations as well.

In awe of their accomplishment, @xinjiaporean shared her thoughts, saying, “We know there are many people driving further (much respect to them!), but it’s an #achievementunlocked & milestone for us. It’s pretty insane, and I’m still in disbelief that we made it, but with planning and passion, it’s possible.”
