Hat Yai Trip; when three girls were desperately wanted to eat Green Curry

I went to Hat Yai last weekend with Yuriko and Tarie. According to wikipedia, Hatyai is the southern part of Thailand which is close to Malaysia’s boundary. Yuriko, Tarie and I were there to have a short budget trip. We didn’t expect much, however it turned out to be fun.

We took a bus from Pasar Rakyat, Kuala Lumpur; RM 100 for return trip. The bus was departed at 10pm, we were expected to reach Hat Yai at 7am. It was a busy weekend so we finally reached Hat Yai at 9 am.

After this and that, we found a hotel; Hat Yai Asia Hotel. The hotel was old, but it’s relatively clean. We paid 900 Baht in the travel agent, but I think it supposed to be less than that.

Lee Garden Plaza was our first destination; we took tuk tuk to go there, 20 Baht each person. KFC in Hat Yai is extremely good! Highly recommended for Indonesian ;)

We walked around Hat Yai; Kim Yong Market which is not really suitable for us. At 3pm we took tuk tuk and went to floating market. The floating market was real fun. There were a lot of variations of food and its only 20 Baht for each meal. We got a chance to try Thai traditional food from the floating market. The drinks were selling with a Hello Kitty, Ultraman shape mugs made by clay.

There were some performances done by some students looking for donation. It was perfect; watched the sun goes down and heard the marching band played Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Oh how I wish I could go there with C. We left floating market when the marching band started to play Can You Feel the Love Tonight and catched a tuk tuk to go to Pe Thai Night Market.

We spent most of our money at Pe Thai; Pe Thai is smaller version of Chatuchak with almost the same fun. I bought a pair of jeans for 190 Baht!! We tried the best Kerabu Mangga ever and explored more and more stuffs there.

The second day, we departed at 7 pm. We spent our day to look for Green Curry. Lesson #1 from Hat Yai trip, it was hard for you to find Green Curry in Hat Yai. Apparently, Green Curry belongs to the northern side of Thailand. Yuriko was never been to Thailand before, needs to be satisfied with the Green Curry Chicken rice from KFC.

The trip was good, I don’t mind to go to Hat Yai for the second time. Let’s explore new places girls! 
