Walking across Sungai Kolok

Continuing from Train to Sungai Kolok.

From the train station we decided to walk to town.

Sungai Kolok is the Thai version of its name. The Malay locals and also Malays from Malaysia know it as Sungai Golok or simply Golok.

We had late lunch at a local stall...

Then we continued walking and sightseeing without going to the town centre. 

We covered parts northeast of the centre...

For we decided to walk all the way to the Thailand-Malaysia border...

After going through the Thai immigration complex we pressed on to its Malaysian counterpart...

To do this we must take the bridge across Golok river.

This is what gives Sungai Kolok or Sungai (river of) Golok its name.
