Hatyai.

27.11.09

Slept at 2a.m helping my sis to finished up her paper works and woke up at 3.45am because the bus to Hatyai was arriving at 5o'clock in the morning. =.=

It was a public holiday on this weekend and there were damn many people heading to the same place as us, the custom area was so crowded and we were in a huge traffic. Our schedule was delayed and there was a need to change of plan. We had dinner at the so-called famous chicken rice shop there instead of having it at TESCO. The service seriously sucks, we waited for a long time waiting for the workers to clean up our table and order for food. Moreover, the crowd wasn't cooperative at all, everyone was rushing to seat and to order like they are scared to be neglected, expecially those aunties. Whenever they go, they always fight to be the first. =.="

We also skipped one of our destination, but we still managed to follow the rest in the list. These were some pictures taken at the beach in Songkat.

The roundabout.

Stalls along the roadside.

Hm, I swear you won't want to eat those.

Nice scence. ^^

Pigeons..

The beach.

Everyone was there just to see this.
Pretty meh?

Grandpa and grandma. ^^

Cousins, aunt and grandpa.

I think this pose looks awkward, haha....

The sunshine was so bright that we could hardly open our eyes. lol



Cute doggie!!

How good if I can have one of them. :P

We just stayed for about 45 minutes at the beach and checked in at Rama Hotel after that. We then continued our journey after an hour resting at the hotel room. We visited a temple and a market on the river as well. The people there sell food and beverages on their sampan boats, it was rare as we don't really see this in Malaysia. The food and drinks are really cheap, they only cost RM2 for most of them!

BBQ... I didn't try these though they look mouth-watering, haha.

Drink in bamboo stem.

Fried bird eggs!!

The pulut rice in banana leaves really taste good!

Drinks in ceramic 'cups', cost 20 bahts only!

This is how they do business.

My longan drink in Ultraman ceramic! haha...

Those were just starters and we had some of that. xP We had our main dinner at Red Gem Restaurant. The restaurant provided a stage for the Thai girls to perform some Chinese songs while the customers were eating as most of them were Chinese, the lady tauke took the finale, lol. I only can say, they better sing in their own language and the food was not so nice. =.=

Finally night reached and it was ours! We waited for the whole day and now we can go SHOPPING!! We went shopping at the night street and some malls. They were just next to each.

Took this in the tut tut car. haha..

We shopped for about 2 hours and walked back to the hotel. We took the wrong way at first and a kind uncle stopped by and told us the right way. We were so so tired when we got back. Luckily we had booked for massage at night to enjoy relaxation and loosen our tibia. But it was unlucky when the massagers insisted the price of 240bahts to be paid for an hour plus plus service, but the Thai tour guide told us it only costs 200 bahts for two hours on that noon. I felt like we were cheated. We complained it to the local tour guide about it and he said that he will tell the Thai's tour company to black list that girl! She deserved it if she has done it.

On the next day, we had our free time until 12.30pm, thus we went to the small market to have breakfast. These were a few that I bought.

Ki zhang.
Those made by my aunt during Dragon Boat Festival taste better of course. hehe..

Kelabu.
So weird, it tastes a bit like laksa..

Potato balls, I love'em!

Pork stick. Very nice! I was so full until that I only can have one. hehe..

After that, we took the tut tut car to go to the bigger market which sells lots of clothes, bags, shoes, food and they were very very very CHEAP!! You can buy a pair of shoes for Rm18 and it's comfort to wear. The standard price for most of the things (not at higher quality or lower) is Rm20, the price for everything can be negotiated. If you had ever went to Hatyai, you'll know the place. Although I'm not a regular visitor of Hatyai but I know this place good enough, lol. I bought 2 pair of shoes and a sling bag inside the market. Some of them even bought a few bags and many shoes! LOL..

Dad's looking funny and mom's looking good. haha...

After lunch, we headed to TESCO to buy some daily use products. The things there were god damn cheap! Have you ever see loads of Triumph's bras were piled together with 50% discounts in Malaysia's TESCO?.. swt.

It's shy when I wanted to take a photo of it. Haha..

Guess what's this..

She's digging ice cream scoops!

Finally the ice cream is served.
Ground nuts topping and pulut rice, red potatoes and pieces of bread at the bottom.
Tastes really good, I can have more! xD

I'm ready to eat! haha....

Finally...Here's a photo I like with my new hair cut and new baby milo shirt.
(Guess how much is it, haha..)

I still think that we better go on our own next time than following a tour group because our main purpose is only shopping and buying things. It really wasted a lot of our time travelling in the bus and waiting for people! But at least we bought something back, otherwise it won't be fun. lol...
