Raya trip to Hat Yai - Alone~~

From the title, it's kinda obvious that I went to Hat Yai, Thailand, alone last weekend. It has been a great experience to wander alone, but then again, it's such a pity that I do not have any camera~~!! Can't take any pic.. Can't share the views to everyone. But nvm, i'll be there again, soon. This time around, I'll get myself a camera, as suggested by Tek and Chye Hsiang, a compact one will do.. wait till richer then only get a DSLR. Nevertheless, to those who do not get tired reading things i write, there are few things i would like to share, in case you wanna go HatYai, alone :P

Hotel I stayed: Golden Crown. RM2 for tutu ride to get there from the bus stop.

Food: Be prepared, most of the food are hot and spicy, ala Tom Yam~

Places to Visit: I spent most of my time walking around town, which is quite small. The night life is kinda happening, somewhere between Bali and JB town. Get cheap stuff at the market (remember to bargain at least 50%). Temple on top of the mountain (just tell the tutu driver, he'll noe how to get you there).

Things to bring: Cash/Credit card, but i think Cash will be more practical coz no CC machine at market. Change your cash there, better rate (at least in September 2009) Sunblock.. lotsa sunblock. Sunglasses, Hat. It's freaking HOT~~!!

Others: If you are more adventurous, done with HatYai, I would suggest you take a long ride to Songkhla. Nice beach and nice view. Unpolluted and nice people.

Conclusion: I guess i'm in love with Hat Yai, and also the people there. Exactly what I felt when i went Bali... Encourage you guys and gals to make a trip there... I'm sure can ask Mei Shan for more details coz she frequent there :)
