Story Of My Life: 3D1N Trip to Hatyai

A throwback post again, a last minute planned trip to Hatyai on 23rd - 25th of May with my group project mates for Food & Culture subject. Since we need to make a dish that well represented the country, then we chose Thailand and we decided to go there to understand more about the culture! *HAHAHA!! excuses for wanting to go travel! It was my first time travel with them despite Jean & Amber and it was really a wonderful trip! Thanks Abang Syam for planning everything and tour us around there HEHE

So we sat the express bus to Hatyai on Friday night and overnight in the bus. Actually planned to buy train instead of bus but it was sold out. And we hesitated quite a long period of time whether to continue for this trip because there was booming in Hatyai. Everyone around thought we were crazy because we went during the dangerous time but thank god nothing happened =)

Waiting to board on the bus at Pudu Terminal. Alisan Golden Couch that got Wifi on the bus! HAHAHA! However, I slept all the way to Hatyai! HEHE

Sat for more than 10 hours and my butt almost flat already! Checked in Asian Hotel which located in the city centre. Good location and easily accessed to place =)

So what is so special about Hatyai ? This trip was all about food! We started our food hunting once we arrived and we totally forgot we came here for assignment purpose! HAHAHA

Whatever, who cares? Food and tourism are interrelated =D

My tourism gals, fooling around in the room while waited our turn to bath! HAHA

All the street food was DIRT CHEAP!! and looked so tempting!

Bought Mango Sticky Rice! A must EAT dish in Thai! super duper loved it! Only 35 baht omggg!!

Damn it was so cheap! I wished to buy one lorry back here!

Okay, what to shop in Hatyai? AMust BUY THINGY!!

Nah it's Lays! Because it was super cheap! I bought few months supply of Lays back to KL! HAHAHA! only 25-35 baht then you can bought a packet of Lays! Which is equivalent to RM2.50 - RM3.50

The most happy shopping time was at 7-11! I just mad loved their 7-11!

On the bus back to KL =( Pulut Ayam, our favourite! And I was really lucky because aunty want to close shop ady then I begged aunty for give me 4 thigh for 100 baht! HAHAHA!
