Hatyai Trip Part I

A belated post on my trip to Hatyai last December 09 :)

We brought mum together to Hatyai, bought the car insurance and drove thru the border... 1st time..... very excited... ;p


We reached the Thailand Border thru Bukit Kayu Hitam Kedah..


Very long queue... even alot of Singaporean cars are in the queue to go Hatyai...



Selamat Jalan Malaysia, and Welcome to Thailand.....



We have to park our car and walk to the immigration, queue up and show our face... also... we have to put a RM1 note inside the passport as 'angpow' to the immigration security....mmm....



After the tedious security procedure.... Here we are... :)
We are in Thailand..!!!! Driving up to Hatyai, following the intelligent GPS..



As known earlier, Thailand has tooo many temples and Buddha statues everywhere......
This is one of the many that I managed to capture on the way.... huge and mighty huh..



Thailand Buddha statue... Very elegantly made...



Hehehee..... so cute lahh the car.... :)



Thailand people has utmost respect for their King... so beside the temples, everywhere has the King potrait...



Along the way to Hatyai, they have those small towns beside the road with those very old Chinese shops similar to the 60s timeframe....

And we chose this Chinese kopitiam for our lunch.... Chinese Pork Rice... not the best... but not bad at all..



Quite nice lahh.... the pork very tender :)



See..... so many Thai King and Qeen potraits... everywhere...



Just notice that the electricity here...... so complicated and confusing....wonder if they know which is which.....



This is downtown Hatyai... :)
Jammed all the way... so many cars......




Shopping started at the roadside already..... stalls stacked all along the main road, selling everything from souvenirs to clothes and shoes...



Squids grilled to perfection....



This is the popular roasted pork shop downtown, satisfying a lot of customers' stomach...



Hatyai has damn many of 'Jeepnee' like those in Manila... is like public bus, where they modified from van or lorry, a very common and cheap transportation for them..



As you know la... Malaysia is a Islamic country, so the McDonald in Malaysia don't serve pork....

So before my trip, all my frenz Hatyai's McDonald is a must to eat, the pork burger is just soooo good.....

We really went in and try out their pork burgers...... darn delicious okay..!!!! It is just so different!!! The meat is just so right in place.... !!!!!!!


This is Novotel Hotel @ downtown Hatyai.... we are going to stay there :)



This is the shopping complex beside Novotel, so after checked in... we went there for some window shopping and look around...


It's Christmas!!! The decor is just so beautiful ...

See? This is the Santa's reindeer, so well decor.... :D



Okay... the post very long d... I will continue Part II asap.. hehe...

The journey from Penang to Hatyai is quite simple. There is some confusion at Thai custom for first timer only.
