Hat Yai- Day 3 @ Songkhla Lake and Floating Market

Finally I'm writing the last post for Hat Yai. It has been delayed for almost half a year. The last few stops were Songkhla Lake, Songkhla beach (The one with the mermaid combing her hair statue) and floating market. Due to our greediness, we ate at the floating market and down with severe food poisoning.

During the journey back home, I started to feel nauseous and vomited several times. My dear also suffered the same fate along with a little boy from our tour group. He too ate at the floating market. Perhaps, it was our luck. Just beware and be selective when buying food from there ok? Good luck!

 

Oh no…the sky was turning black

 

Doesn’t he looked like “Ben 10”? Hahaha

 

We are ready!

 

The boat did not come with a roof. Big problem~

 

Errrmmmmm……

 

 

They have hats standby one the side for us…thank u…

 

Buffaloes enjoying themselves

 

Yeah…the sun came back. The rain lasted about 10 – 15 mins

 

 

At the end of every problem, there is always rainbow (hopefully)…

 

 

 

Songkhla beach

 

We didn’t bother to queue…lazy

 

Final stop - Floating river

 

 

This clay and bamboo drinks were a hit among tourist. It’s all yours or you can actually buy only the clay mug

 

Super high cholesterol

 

The fillings inside these cute little “fruits” were actually bean paste. Its quite yummy

 

 

Beef noodle soup.

 

Eventually, he failed!

 

 

Cute right?

Overall the trip was quite enjoyable except for the food poisoning part and having to travel back in 9 to 10 hours journey which is killing us softly. We went during public holiday and the queue for restroom was also hell. That’s all. Peace!
