We played Uno in the train before sleep..

Today I'm very lucky, Firstly I got my new phone from my father, a second hand sony ericsson..Then most of the time I played uno I won! hehe..
I cannot even sleep in the train, very tired. Till 25th December 2009 next morning. Happy Christmas to Everyone!!!
Our Breakfast.. cookies I bought.
Scenery outside..Still at Malaysia. Since it is so boring to sit there for Hours, we decided to go " Canteen" Hunt in KTM. After 5 minutes of exciting hunt. Finally we arrived at the Canteen..
After that we finally arrived the Thai imigration.. And we need to wait for another hour for the KTM.
Playing UNO again while waiting..
After waiting for an hour in the Thai imigration, we finaly depart to hatyai!
In the KTM again.
Then We finally arrived Thailand, a place name KHLONG NAE and then our train straight away stop at the last KTM station HATYAI!!
After arriving the train station in Hatyai, we walk to our Hotel, The REGENCY HOTEL that is aroung 5 minutes walk distance. When I first arrived here, I really feel insecure because I did not even understand a word of signboard or anything some signboard did put english , so whenever I saw english or chinese words on the streets, I feel more secure. Hehe!
On the way to our hotel, the most eye catching is there are almost 10+ of Gold Shop which are mostly open by local Chinese. I wonder the price of gold is so cheap there, since there are many competition.
FINALY arrived our hotel, It is 1p.m already. So we check in to the hotel.
After Check in, the hotel staff said our room have not cleaned, ask us to come back 2 hours later. So we went to buy our bus ticket at Konsortium Bus Express next to the Hotel but there are no more ticket back to KL. We are so worried that we can't get back to KL but luckily we get our bus ticket but with the price of 620 baht, so expensive, but too bad, we have to take it because on monday we have stock count.
Then, we go to eat our lunch at Mc Donalds near to our hotel. The price is the same as in Malaysia or some maybe more expensive. I tried " Samurai Burger" !! thepork burger that did not sell in Malaysia due to Non Halal. It is very very delicious! I really miss the taste. the pork is soft and tender with the bbq sauce. it is so yummy!
The Cheesy fries!
After lunch, we went back to the hotel expecting our room is cleaned. BUT when we are in the room, We are so shocked that our room have not been cleaned and it is so dirty and disgusting! Trash everywhere. I wonder who stay before this, so dirty. However, we manage to get someone to clean our room. So while waiting our room being cleaned, Woei Yuen, Sherly and I went out to have a stroll near our hotel. I like to see Hatyai people in their everyday life.
Roasted piglets outside a restaurant just next to our hotel. So Kelian, piglets are too cute to be eaten!
4 p.m, the people are preparing their stalls to be open for every nights " Pasar Malam"
There are many Tut Tut ( similar to taxi) on the road and they will ' hunt' you like crazy. everytime you walk on the road or even just crossing the road, the Tut Tut driver will stop in front of you and ask you whether we want to take a ride. I think in just 2-3 days in Hatyai, I've been ask for 20- 30 times already. Aihh! hehe..
We went to Ne Kim Yong market, there are many food, accessories, toileties, umbrellas, shoes, meat, electronic things and clothes are sell there. It is a quite interesting market. and all the food there looks very nice and yummy.
After walking for about an hour,without buying anything, my leg feels like going to broke soon. I cannot even feel my leg and it is painful. So we went back to our hotel room to rest and prepare for dinner.
In our Hotel room, it is Cleaned. but the furniture and everythings in the hotel is very antique, old but still comfortable.
Crazy three people..
At night, we went to Pasar Malam just a few road distance from Regency Hotel. The are many people there shopping and eating dinner. The fruits they sell there are expensive RM 2 each because of tourist place. but the pineaplle are really juicy and sweet.
Big tiger prawn, Crab and other fried food. Looks very delicious. The Tiger prawn is cost 4 for 100 baht, means RM 10. We bought 8 to share.
The famous " Manggo Glutinous Rice", served with coconut milk. RM 4 / 40 baht each.
The night scene of our hotel.
Then we went to a thai restaurant nearby to eat dinner.
Our food ordered...
Manggo Glutinous Rice from the night market. Very nice and delicious. at first i tought the taste won't match, but the taste did match.
Tiger Prawn from night market. Delicious with the sauce.
Kangkung Belacan! Yummy!!!

The last but not least, TOM YAM our favourite! Really Really Delicious! very pure Thai Tomyam.
After eating all spicy food, we all havevery sexy red lips. Haha! ; )
Then We go to the night market to shop, I didn't bought anything yet here..
There is thai auntie talk to me in a very thick Thai accent English that I cannot understand and we cannot understand each other but I ust pretend that I understand by saying, " Oh! Yes.. yes.. Thank You! Bye!" haha! and leave. that is the best way to stop a conversation without feeling awkward,
There are many fried foods, bags, souveniers are sell in the market. After walking almost all the place in the night market, I realise that there are many pirated DVD/VCD stalls and all of them sell porn movies that is openly show and sell to the people there.
I bought a dessert, " Mix ingredients with Longan water" hehe...and we all went back to the Hotel and exchange christmas gift.
After bathing and preparing our gifts, we all went to one of our room to Party!
