Floating Market - Hatyai

After all the snacks that we bought from the market, everyone took a nap before the next stop, floating market, except me. I was super energetic, god knows why. 

Floating market in Hatyai is not as grand as the one in Bangkok, so don't expect too much. But still, it is a floating market that sell authentic Thai food. I would called it a mini floating market. :) 

Floating market is a little far from our hotel. Usually, the tutu charged 20 baht per person, per way but because you are carrying the "tourist" title, they will charge you a little more. The tutu charged us 200 baht for two ways, for the four of us, which is like 50 baht (RM 5) per person, it is still considered cheap. If you go with a bigger group, of course it will be more cheaper because you can share among your group. The tutu do not have limit like taxi, only 4 persons can fit. As long as there is space, you can just squeeze in. Of course, safety come first. :) :)  

Keep in mind you have to take the same tutu for two ways, you don't go to a place with tutu A and come back with tutu B. That is not how it works over there. Or else, you will have to take your own sweet time in getting a tutu to go back to the hotel. So, stick to the same tutu, if they charge you overprice, you can always NEGOTIATE!!!!! 

My first time taking a tutu. It's very cooling but all the dust will be on your pretty face. That's the only sacrifice you have to take.  

The couple, Jia Yik and Sai.

Group picture and the sky is getting dark.

The tutu dropped us there and will meet us back few hours later. People in Hatyai are really punctual, so don't bring Malaysian's time over alright. Be punctual. 

It was drizzling when we reached but it stops later on. *Thank God* or else we will not be able to walk around.

Ta~~~dah~~~ We are finally here. :D :D :D :D :D

The epic expressions, I don't really recall what happened, I guess is the photographer. 

Group picture on the bridge. 

Food hunting start now. :) 

The hello kitty cup. The drink will be served in the hello kitty cup and after that you can have the cup. FYI, the cup is fill with ice instead of drink.

The uncle that sell yummy ketupat. It's really good and they have filling in the ketupat as well. It's only 10 baht (RM 1). 

Does it looks like fake jelly in the picture below?? I bet it does but the jelly is edible. Look at the colouring. I dare not eat it. 

Grilled squid and fish.

Oyster with egg. This is really good.

Yummy~~~

Now this jelly look more normal and it taste good as well. :) 

Yours truly waiting for tomyam. 

Thailand ice kacang.

Happy kid that love food.

Try to read this if you can because I can't. 

They do provide seats for you to eat. 

Jelly in heart shape.  ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

The tomyam taste a little different, not as good as we expected.

Trying to take a picture with all the stalls in it but...

The are booths that selling all sort of things which you can buy and bring back for friends or family for souvenir on the other side of floating market. It's something similar to "fun fair" we had in Malaysia. We walk around and found mini sushi. AHAHAHA...is damn mini. 

Four mini sushi for the four of us.

It's time to leave, heading out. The tutu uncle is waiting for us.

On the way out, there is a stall selling fried insects, you name it they have it. OMG! We stood infront of the stall quite a while and thinking should we give it a try. 

O.M.G. I know it full of protein and whatever is good for the body but...but...but...

Sorry. We are chickens therefore we give up. 

Don't ask what is that.

This is the famous cockroaches. It gives me goose bumps!!!!!!!!!

The end of floating market, can't wait to go back to the hotel to shower and sleep. 

Once we reached hotel, it still really early but all the shops are closed except 7 - eleven. 7 - eleven is so much different than ours. Their 1 looks more interesting and have more choices in food and drinks. When we were there, we treat 7 - eleven like our second home, we went there every morning before we went out and before we went back to the hotel after spending a long day outside.

They even have mini coca cola in classic glass bottle and it costs around 10 baht ONLY. We even bring 1 home to display. 

Chilling at lobby and that is the only place that have free wifi connection. AHAHAHA...

snacks

Went back to the hotel, shower and start our mini party with FREE TIGER SHOW from Jia Yik and Sai. LOL!!!! The winner of the tiger show goes to Jia Yik. 

YAY!!!!!

Coca cola for me and Xiao Hou, Sprite for Jia Yik and Sai. There is nothing much entertainment during the night so we ended our night with our own mini party. It was really fun and funny. :D

Are you sick of my Hatyai trip yet? If you are, I am really sorry because so far I have just finished posting our day 1, which means I still have day 2 and day 3. It's still a long way to go. So, if you are bored of our faces already, click the "X" button on the right top corner. :) :)
