Day 1: Trip to Hatyai (Part 1)

Second trip to Hatyai. Overall, the trip had been really satisfying. It's a 2 Day 1 Nite trip. Depart from Penang to Hatyai by using a van that cost a RM52 per person (return tickets). It took roughly about 4 hrs to reach Hatyai main attraction area including the time that you need to spend at the border for passport checking.

Van I took to HatYai from Penang Island

Entrance to Grand Plaza Hotel

Booked to stay in Grand Plaza Hotel. Just directly next to Lee Garden Plaza. The hotel itself is quite old but overall it is clean and the staffs over there were very helpful. We managed to delay the room check out time from 12 p.m to 2 p.m. However, the room price is a little pricey than what I expected, about 100 Baht per nite including breakfast. After checking into the room, I went to Lee Garden Plaza for a stroll.

Entrance to Lee Garden Plaza

Inside Lee Garden Plaza, you can find McDonald, Pizza Hut, Swensen, Boots Pharmacy, Cinema, Food court etc. Highly recommended to try the McDonald's Samurai Pork Burger. Yummy! Can't find it anywhere else.

Lotsa cheap stuffs!!

Bookstore inside the plaza

Karaoke

Had Thai Chicken Rice..highly recommended!

After the meal, I proceed to visiting areas outside the plaza itself including the floating market. Will blog on this further. Stay Tune!
