Life, as we know it: Songkran Festival @ Hatyai Thailand 2013 (Final Part)

Hello everyone once again, and it's also the last part of my Hatyai visit too. Part 1 and 2 went well I hope, and now straight to the point. Next on my travels of afar, the tuk-tuk got my mind fixated on a flea market at Dee Garden, in Hatyai City Center. As mentioned, it a market like no other, except this market here has almost everything in the world it has to offer!

These clothes are somehow a hit in Thailand!

Goods from all around

Cramming through the narrow, hot and unseemingly pleasant vesseled-paths of the lively market, one could really attain goods of all kinds at bargain prices. A note to take is that the prices here highly reasonable if you were to strike a perfect bargain. And, do not expect a halved-priced bargains to be too good to be true, as some prices could go lower that you could ever imagine. That said, it's time to show your social skills now, and please don't get easily bamboolzelled by the shop owners there. Indeed they have many tricks up their sleeves then.

Get clothes here at bargain prices

One would really go there to get some clothing though, and also some famous Thai-produced foodstuffs. Still, an advice is to plan out a way to get the products back to your countries though, as the customs will prove a barrier too hard to face. Get the products in small amounts, and try to find certified ones, just in case though.

Wet market

Spices!

Behind this olden building corroded by unforgiving time, the wet markets stood out the tradition as all markets should have. And once again, as in Part 2, people regardless of religions are there all together, selling their products for all they care. It really is an amazing sight, not seen anywhere in Semenanjung Malaysia, and certainly worth throwing a salute to.

You have to try the mangoes here, yummy!

Oh yeah, before I forget, some shop owners here have an attitude needing immediate fixing. Watch out for those who despise people touching their goods if you were of no intention in buying them. There was this guy who scolded my little bro for touching his goods,and blaming him for something my little bro did not do.

Oh boy, if he was in Malaysia, I'll !#*&@^!(*%#&^#........

Ok, moving on... :)

Khlong Hae Foating Market, if I'm not wrong XD

A majestic view

Floating wonder

A major tourist attraction!

All kinds of foods for sale

All you can eat!

Last but not least, and certainly the icing on the cake I thought, was a visit to the Khlong Hae Floating Market. Yes, the only thing else that could get mii this excited except gorgeous girls ~~~~~ FOOD!!! Thai delicacies from all about, all found in this amazing floating sparkle of a wonder. The foods sold here are cheap (ranging from 10baht to 50baht), and most importantly, tantalizing least said. Pictures will tell you the best foods sold there then.

My favourite, satay tandoori chicken!!!!

Fried seafood!

Cute bamboo-made drink containers!

Unique way of purchasing

Fishcake in Thai sauce

A wide variety to choose from

Otak-otak

Besides just those amazing foodstuff, there are also souvenirs sold at bazaars behind the market. Once again, fish out your bargaining skills and start pushing prices to their lowest! And that summarizes my trip to Hatyai. The Songkran Festival was supposed to reach it's peak-most by tonight, but I had to leave early as I've got a flight to catch back to Kuala Lumpur the next early morning. Reluctant certainly, but nevertheless, this is one trip I'm looking forward to again in time to come! That's all, see ya!!!
