Hatyai Trip Day 1

This is a super backdated post

as i didn't have much time to write

so anyways

during my 2 weeks road trip in December..

one of my destinations was to

Hat Yai, Thailand

And i would wanna give a really big

THANK YOU

to Xiang who invited me

to Xiang's family who brought me there!

We started off our journey from Alor Star

where 4 cars convoy-ed all the way to Hat Yai

if you're wondering why 4 cars..Its cos nearly the whole family of Xiang came

Uncles Aunties and Cousins! Awesome stuff!

so we headed over to the immigration centre

to get our border crossing card and immigration stuff

The line

My visitors card

We left that place

and headed to the main area

which was the Customs

and it was totally packed with a lot of people lining up

to cross to Thailand for the weekend

The amount of People ZOMG ZOMG

so after about 1 hour of waiting

we finally was able to cross the border

and stopped at one of the Thailand restaurants for Lunch

and wow this is the 1st time

i'm eating real Authentic Thai / Northern cuisine

and DAMN it was spicy!

Some sort of Spicy Soup

The Famous Thai Green Curry

Otak-otak

Fishyyy

the best part about Thailand

is that the food is CHEAAPPPPPPPPPPP

We had 2 servings of each picture above

and also with other dishes that i didn't take pictures of

There were 22 of us

and the bill came up to only RM200

and we were stuffed till there was quite a lot of leftovers ZOMGZ!

so after lunch we took about an hours journey

to the main city Hatyai

We checked into our hotel, Paradise Hotel

which was located at the outer part of Hatyai

and it costed less than RM100 per room

and the service was really cozy

The front

The pool area

The evening lights

So as evening came

we headed to the city area of Hatyai

where there are a lot of the shopping complexes,

cheap flea markets, massage parlors and of course good food!

we took a cab and headed for dinner at one of the restaurants there

if this cab was in KL...

there would be plenty of casualties! LOL

Steamed Fish

Toufoo with Veggies

*i don't know what is this but its awesome LOL*

Crabs

Pork knuckles

chicken

So after dinner

we walked around the complexes

shopping around where Xiang bought new clothes and shoes

while i bought a pair of Jeans

The discounts were tremendous where my

Jeans was discounted from RM180-Rm70

I'm a happy man!

and after shopping we headed around buying more food

and sightseeing around the place

Famous Durian Rice & Mango Rice

Fried stuffs

Grilled Squid

Grilling Process

So as we headed back to the hotel

We got a bit of rest

and headed out for more nightlife!

where only Adults are invited LOL

lol i know what you're thinking BUT NO

we didn't go to those type of shows LOL

We went to Paragon Club

as it was one of the most famous tourist attractions

But sadly it wasn't my cup of tea

as the music was like super techno with beats so crazy

and the models that were dancing

were so unattractive haha

Xiang & I at Paragon

The Club

So as most of us got bored of the place

we headed out to the City Centre

to enjoy the live bands that were playing in the bars

and it was so much better compared to the club!

Xiang's cousin Ee Ling

Xiang's Relatives

So as the night ended

we headed back to get our rest

Thats all for this post

Day 2 will be continued soon!
