Hey everybody.
Guess who's back ? I AM :)
Just currently came back from Thailand trip. I was pretty exhausted and felling a little jet lag ( hungover )
So yeah, I'm here today to summarize my 4 days 3 nights trip in Thailand.
As you guys know, I didn't go through all the places in Thailand.
I only went to Hat Yai and Songkhla Province, somewhere in the south of Thailand.
Those are the places where lots of tourist attraction for shopping.
1st Day
We travelled by Air Asia on Sunday afternoon. There were lots of people there. I met, Marissa, one of my primary friend there. She took a flight to Singapore to celebrate Christmas Day there. It's been a while I've been to Singapore. ( Might be going there again some other time ). Our flight delayed 15 minutes later. Since, we arrived early and while waiting for out flight, we kept wandering around the flight waiting area. I saw lots of Americans there that prefer to travel to Brunei instead compared to other available flights at that time. It's a one hour and fifteen minutes flight from KL to Hat Yai. When we reached there, we were greeted with Sawadeeka, which means ' Hello ' in Thai. The airport that is much more organized and cleaner than Malaysia LCCT airport. We checked into the hotel name Lee Gardens Hotel which is situated opposite Novotel Hotel and above Lee Gardens Plaza. It's shopping heaven around the hotel. Lots of people selling authentic and unique stuffs in the middle of the street. I felt the breezy air there. After checking into the hotel, we went down and ordered a tuk-tuk to take us to the floating market which is a 20minutes drive. Lots of people were there at that time. There were people selling fried insects, square marble Thailand cakes, weird hanging sausages and other local delicacies of theirs. We saw people selling vegetable and fruits on the floating boat. Ended up having Thailand fish ball noodles for dinner. A little pissed off, as there isn't any free wi-fi in the room, I have to go all the way down to the lobby just to get free wi-fi.
Day 2
Had pa thong ko for breakfast. It tasted just like yau char kwai. 1st up, we went to Hat Yai Municipal Park (สวนสาธารณะเทศบาลเมืองหาดใหญ่). There's one workers there kept on snapping our pictures without our permission and kinda forces up to buy the picture including an old-fashion frame something like the old dynasty type. I looked so unready for the picture and I decided not to buy it. So not worth it at all. I should have known. Next up, we went to Hat Yai Ice Dome. It's one of my favourite place to go and I wish I was a little longer in it. There are lots of amazing and stunning ice sculpture in it. It's 10 times nicer that I-City for sure. We get to sit on the ice. It's like -3 degrees in it. There's even like an ice maze in it too. We even went to Wat Hat Yai Nai (วัดหาดใหญ่ใน). We saw sleeping Buddha. There were lots of dogs wandering around that area. After snapping pictures of the Buddha, I quickly ran back into the van as there were stray dogs all around the area. During noon, we went to Songkhla Province, a one hour drive from Hat Yai. We went to Samila Beach. I love the whole atmosphere of the beach. There was fake mermaid there. The wind was very breezy and we collected some seashells. Lots of students love to hang out there especially after school. I wish I can stay longer there as well too. Amazing experience.
Day 3
The day where it's basically on shopping. Went to all the streets of Hat Yai just for shopping. Went to Nora Plaza, Silk Plaza and others. Went through lots of shopping malls ( I couldn't even remember what name of the places are ). Went to the morning wet market and other shopping malls. There's one shopping mall looks like MetroJaya. Bought some clothing's and a wallet.
Day 4
Packing bags and suitcases. Leaving Hat Yai. Bought some duty free stuffs. Back to Malaysia at 3.00pm. Exhausted! I suggested you guys not to travel to airport by tuk-tuk. It's a 40 minutes drive from the middle of Hat Yai to airport and all the luggage's were packed together in the tuk-tuk making us feeling uncomfortable and my ass hurts after a while.
I've summarized my trip to Hat Yai and Songkhla Province. I rate this trip 60/100. Sorry guys, I couldn't upload all the pictures here as they need a lot of megabytes here but you guys can check all those picture that I've captured via Facebook just give a little search on my name and you can see them. Sorry, gotta go now. Need to revise on something important. Adios :)
