HATYAI - Malaysian City in Thailand (June 2006)

Hatyai is the most southern city in thailand, almost 1 hour drive from Kayu Hitam, border of Malaysia. Most of the tourists here are Malaysian, 10 people in Hatyai, i can say that 8 are Malaysian. Every Thai here know Chinese, Hokkien (most speak language for Chinese in northern of Malaysia) & English.
i went there for 2day 1nite & stayed in Lee Garden Plaza Hotel, it is convinience place to stay. First day, i ate lunch buffet(฿120) in Lee Garden Plaza Hotel, the highest point in Hatyai, can see whole view of Hatyai. Then i have dinner at restaurant opposite of Lee Garden Plaza, the food there so so lah, but one food must mention is oyster, ฿30 got in big size. There are many food stall along the road infront of Lee Garden Plaza. When i ate supper beside road, i saw big and small elephant. Cant u imagine that huge elephant move on the road, this situation can see everywhere in Thailand. The baby elephant is so cute!!! Beside that, i saw many sex sellers along the road.
there are many stall along the road, sell clothes, servenior... everything got 2bargain, believe me that u can get 70% discount. The next day morning, i went to market by tuk tuk(a kind of transport in Hatyai). 1st the driver said ฿15 per person, finally we bargain till 8person total is ฿100. i bought dried longan(fruit),฿210 per kg, that is order from my great mum, i not yet try before but found it quite nice.
There are not much interest place in Haytai, nearly zero. But there are many programmes created to entertain Malaysian, Tiger show(woman show), Agua(man changed sex to woman) show & sex selling. I watched Tiger show (฿400) coz heard that the show here quite famous & i think quite a special experience. I din go for Agua show coz watched it in Pattaya, Thailand, the place that best looked Agua in Thailand.
Beside the show, i also go for massage. Thai massage is very famous, i had it in Lee Garden Plaza Hotel (฿240). The massager massage my leg, hand, back & head. The feeling of massage is quite nice.
That is all the things can do in Hatyai, Thailand.
