Trip to Had yai

During last Deepavali break, I went to Had Yai for one day trip with Fatti and her family. We took a van from Bukit Kayu Hitam and it cost us RM100 per trip (taxi RM60 per trip. Had Yai is the commercial centre of Southern Thailand and a popular weekend destination for visitors from Malaysian. It is located about 60km from Bukit Kayu Hitam on the Malaysian border. To my opinion, the city itself is not particularly interesting but it is a good place to go shopping if you are staying in nearby.

I just feel like I was at somewhere in northern Malaysia because I still can hear a substantial amount of ‘Bahasa Melayu’ spoken by the local, except that I can see the 'Tuk Tuk' car everywhere which is a bit odd for Malaysian.



I guess there's not much to see or do in Had yai, we only had some thai tradisional massage, medicure dan pedicure for the ladies and last but not least,we had the delicious and authentic tomyam...nyum nyum.
