Haadyai - Day 2 & 3

Haadyai - Day 2
22/03/08

woke up as early as 8am.... we walked about 10mins to the nearby market for breakfast... had some noodle soup that cost 50baht per bowl... quite yummy.... forgot to snap a pic of it... hehee... then, we walked for a while at the market and back to the hotel....


there're lots of flowers stall....

they even sell hand bouquet at the market... but only 6 stalks per bouquet...

next, it was the "free and easy" time for us... i went for a hairwash with mummy nearby the hotel... they charges us according to the length of the hair and we paid 300baht for 2 persons...

in the hair saloon...

camwhored !! the chubby me in straight hair @_@

then, we decided to go to a temple with Tuk Tuk again... this time have to bargain with the Tuk Tuk driver cos the place was a bit far from the hotel... and, we paid him 100baht for a return trip for 3 persons.... hehee...

dont-know-what temple... (we told the driver that we wanted to go "Siam Deng"... :P)


Mum burning the joss sticks....

we took the same Tuk Tuk back to hotel... and walked at the shopping mall nearby - Odean Mall... bought a short pants and nighties again... hehee... after much shopping, we walked back to hotel... Mum went for her second round massage with the rest while i rested at the hotel room...

not long after, it's dinner time again... this time my godfather rented a van for 10 of us to go to another temple on top of the hill....

Aunty Yin and me...


my lovely godparents...

masuk, masuk dalam lagi... (those mini bus drivers likes to say this... don't think dirty, okayy !! hehee..)

the temple is inside "Hatyai City Municipality Park"...

climbing the staircase up to the temple...


there's a Four Faced Buddha under the roof...

there're altogether 4 elephants there, each facing different directions...

breathtaking view of Hatyai city...

we stayed there for around 15 mins before we left for dinner nearby the temple...

Ban Khao Restaurant...

ordering food...

the sky was getting darker... and me too... hehee :P

are we having some "coconut meal" ???

me and da coconut !!

lots of food on the table... more than 10 plates ler... scary !!

after dinner, we went back to the place we stayed.... shopping time again !! walked and walked non-stop whole day... there's lots of stalls selling t-shirts, food, souvenirs and others along the roadside and also a few dessert stalls... and i had a bowl of birdnest... i actually had one bowl of it the night before also... hehee.... it cost only 100baht per bowl ma...

another tiring day... hit the sack at 12am...

Day 3
23/03/08

it was the last day, so must wake up earlier at 7-ish (Malaysia time okay ??!!)... there's a "one hour" different and it's only 6-ish in Thailand.... hahaaa... went to the market nearby again... this time, we had another type of noodle... they had this very tasty dried wantan noodle... two thumbs up !! but no photos taken cos i was too busy eating.... :P

saw the monk ?? those people will donate some food to the monk... and my mum also did the same... :)

after a while, and i tell you.... it's really a while... in less than an hour or two, we went for another meal - Chicken Rice again... dont know whether i should call it breakfast no.2 or lunch... cos it was only 10-ish... !! i only tried a few pieces of the chicken and a few spoons of rice...

the rice in placed on the plate in a "chicken drumstick" shape...

again, we walked back to the hotel.... and it's time for some final shopping... packed our stuff and checked out at 1pm (M'sia time)... waited for the van at the lobby....

and finally, the van came...

but we were very much disappointed cos they sent us a smaller van... but anyway, we managed to stuff our luggages and all of us inside the van...

and we headed off to another temple on our way back.... this time, we stayed longer at the temple for some prayers and also flower bath....

those flowers in the pails are for "flower bath"....

we were quite rushing, so i didnt take much photos at the temple.... :P we left the temple at almost 3pm... everyone was very tired and slept in the van till we reached Thailand Custom...

me and mummy and the long queue at the custom...

last photo to end this post entry... nice t-shirt ?? hehee....

we stopped at Tambun for a seafood dinner.... then, sent my aunt back to Gopeng before we went home...

Bye Bye, Haadyai... i will be back... muahahaa.....

"HOME SWEET HOME"
