Woot woot!this is a backdated entry.haha..Just so, I can looked back and remember our holiday.hehe..
Last Deepavali, we(moi n family) were having so much fun at Hatyai. Located about 1 hr from Padang Besar, this is the place where u can shop the latest street fashion, eat and having fun. Getting there, there are 3 main gates where u can enter Hatyai (doesn’t count the gates from other state, Kelantan etc.haha), either from Wang Kelian, Pdg Besar or Bukit Kayu Hitam. Enter through Wang Kelian, u will reach west coast and take about 2-3 hrs before reach Hatyai, while from Bukit Kayu Hitam, whoever from the south peninsular Malaysia, advised to enter from this gates as it will save ur time. We were here so many times but never cared to sleepover.
At first, we planned to have a night stay at Hatyai, and the next day going to Park Bara for lunch. However, a minor mistake came up and we have to wait at the border nearly for 1hr...Well, next time, follow the rules people! And don’t worry if u are the first timer. Signboard are everywhere in Thai n Eng, definitely will reach there. Checking at the Regency hotel.
In front of the Regency Hotel
Recommended if you want to stay at the centre of the city. Lots of shopping complex, stall hawker, shop lot, bazaar and it just 5mins from the market. However, the id is just okay, but the hot water didn’t function and they didn’t allow us to book a room as we came with 5 adult and a baby.hehe..cheapskate I know! hahaha…the receptionist is not so friendly, but the butler is best! help us and I guess it’s just his work right. But never mind, as this is only a short trip, and was sponsored by younger brother so I have nothing to complain =)
After refreshing, we walked to nearest restaurant for dinner dine. It’s a Muslim restaurant and nearly every worker knows BM. We order sweet-sour ikan siakap, kalian ikan masin, tomyum, telur bungkus. Take a stroll around the city as it offers many selection of clothes, fresh fruits, foods well..stuffs. I think u may found something suit ur taste. Some tips, only bargain if u want it. After a while, the rain started to pour down. We decided to stay at the hotel. Bought pulut ayam, pulut durian and pulut manga.hehe..remember, this trip is about eating out!

The next day, we headed for breakfast at the same restaurant last night. Not so many restaurant are opened in the morning and the nearest to the hotel is the only Salma. They have variety of morning selection like roti canai, nasi lemak, nasi goreng. All are delicious! After that, we go to the market by tut-tut , taxi, being called in Thailand. The price for ex like clothes, really cheap compare to padang besar, like 100baht diff. some shops accept RM but some are not!
the breakfast show!haha..

Afternoon, we go to Samila beach, just to take a pic with the most popular mermaid! hehe..and see the serpent that they called as ‘nag’. The body being sculpt in 3 diff segment, the head, body and tail and at diff location. So basically, you have to drive along the beach just to locate the serpent! Hee..
All of us were too hungry, haha..lunch at restaurant Chekkar. I must say that, Malaysian love this place as it have very good ambient, the food was delicious but a bit pricy, well it all worth your money. They also accommodate the mussola at level 3.
While enjoying our lunch,Hana was poopoo.haha..however, we run out of the diapert! we rushed to the nearest Lotus Tesco and did a little shopping for miss Hana. And, so many things are interesting.All baby wears are so cute. So hard to resist until we ran out of Baht! haha..
Food for the people
This was a very great experience! You get to enjoy the city, foods, people however, the most important the great company! Love this. Hope that, next time, we'll visit somewhere with the whole company!
