A1: We were in Krabi and had to catch a train in Surat Thani, to head back to Bangkok to catch our flight. We had no bus ticket & the bus was full. So we hitch hiked & made it quicker than the bus. #TTOT https://t.co/JMNqpeScaB

replying to @gringom @gringom @StevenOnTheMove Quite lucky in the first place, that you had a second battery. I usually don't have that one in my car. But if I think about it now, it's wise to have it, especially on road trips. #ttot

A1 A stroke of good luck & a happy story of being stranded. I've been stranded many times but they're too recent to laugh yet #TTOT 🤔 https://t.co/OkLBOHbgrt

A1 Yes, that is a challenge. Obviously you survived & can laugh now, but then....? #TTOT https://t.co/6R9nrqU1Uf

@gringom @StevenOnTheMove So do you recommend to stay alerted when someone with a cap approaches you?🙂
So what kind of guy was that, that he came to you twice? #ttot

@gringom @StevenOnTheMove Oh. OK.
So why wouldn't you be able to get a battery in Ushuaia? #ttot

A2 Avoid being stranded on the road. Research within reason & consider possible scenarios. Collect contacts for sources of any type of aid or information. you may need. #TTOT

@SonjaSwissLife A1. I still worry about such things and we always tell ourselves to be prepared should such a situation arises again.

A2: Make sure to drive a proper car!
In Australia a lot of backpacker buy very cheap & old cars. They save any dollar with those, but then make sure to have enough 💰for beer.
I like a good & cold beer, but a damaged car can ruin your whole trip. #TTOT https://t.co/g0EzXgqoS0

A1 It's certainly a problem for everyone stuck in traffic ground or air. Small aircraft male pilots have in figured out with their 'gadget' - more difficult for female pilots & highway drivers. #TTOT https://t.co/5bzVOmU9AA

A1: We drove through Cambodia & up this road to Bokor Hill (ghost town). We lost the key of my bike on the bumpy road, while driving. We had to start it later with the wires & then had the trouble of not being able to fuel it up without a key. Quite a trip! #TTOT https://t.co/wxeuia4KZv

A2 Interesting about buying old cars to travel around in Australia. There was a time popular with Americans to buy a good car in Europe, travel around and then ship it home after the trip. I think exchange rates & costs of shipping plus paperwork ended most of that. #TTOT https://t.co/zX241Kalct

A3. Some personal tips from experiences
- First and foremost, keep calm and don’t panic
- Assess the situation and make the appropriate decision e.g. call a tow truck in case of a car breakdown

@tangenghui @SonjaSwissLife So what was the solution?
I always make sure to use every toilet there is on trips.
But otherwise I would simply stop at the side & just go for the bush. Even if it's a few meters further, I would just 'park' & lock the car. #ttot

A2 I agree about the paper maps (laminated for waterproofing) I've been in several friends' cars where the GPS is simply wrong (or an outrageous suggestion). And when the car battery dies. #TTOT https://t.co/kU4ySaoz7X

@TravelDudes @SonjaSwissLife Some solutions could be
- use the toilet b4 u start the journey
- rest stops are most welcome to take a break
- in some inevitable scenarios, use bushes/trees coverage

@tangenghui I can tell you!
And that was just the very short story in tweet length. Right next to that stop in the photo were land mines everywhere. 💣
So the toilet break was on that road & not a tree. ;-) #ttot
