[TL;DR] BPTA:3D2N Hatyai Edition!

Hey guys! It's been a while since I last posted a blog post and today,I will be here with a super long TL;DR for you guys!I recently came back from Thailand (it was actually yesterday) and would like to share my experience with y'all~

*Disclamer*This post is written just for fun,I do not intend to offend anyone of any race or religion.So if this may offend you in any way,please stop reading.

ps:BPTA means backpack travelling adventures<----highlight this

But first!Let me show you what's in my backpack xD All the essentials you should have while travelling.

I actually bought this in Thailand xD
10 BPT ESSENTIALS
1.Wallet-to buy stuff
2.Camera(canon ixus 1100HS)-to take beautiful HD pics
3.biscuit that Crayon Shinchan eats-to cease me from hunger
4.Umbrella-to use if it rains
5.My bottle-very useful when you are thirsty
6.House keys and identity card-cuz its very important so u gotta bring along
7.Sunblock-cuz Thailand is freaking hot u may get sunburn just by chilling in an air conditioned room
8.Earphones-to listen to songs when you're bored cuz thats the only thing u can do with your phone
9.Spare battery-cuz ur useless phone could be more useless when it has no battery 
10.Small sized novels-cuz ur phone is so useless that u have to read lame novels (can be purchased at Popular bookstore)

Moving on....
We travelled there by car and started our journey at around 10am.It was a 3-4 hours ride from Penang to Thailand.By the time we arrived,it was almost 2pm.

We stopped at the border,which is Sadao if I'm not mistaken,to get our passports stamped.It seperates Malaysia and Thailand.I don't understand why we have to pay them RM1 just to get our passports stamped tho.(money eating country tsk)

After getting thru the border,it is immediately Thailand~It is freaking hot there as it is in Malaysia.. We continued our mission to find food before we travel anywhere else.We came to this shop that sells chicken rice and cured our hunger, then continued our journey to Hatyai.

It was almost 4pm when we actually reached Hatyai. We then went to find for the perfect hotel to live in,which was Mayflower,and check-in.The hotel was nice and cozy, definitely a good place to settle down,but the internet was like SHIT.
inside the hotel room
Oh,by the way,just a humble reminder.You may get free Wi-Fi anywhere you go in Thailand,but you have to pay for it so I suggest that you better don't unless it's your hotel's. The phone is basically useless in Thailand == I barely used it except for reading manga that I downloaded beforehand and listening to music lol.

After putting down our luggage bags,we then headed to a nearby shopping mall called Robinson. Shopping malls in Thailand basically sell expensive stuff so if you're there to get cheap stuff,you better go for markets. Besides, their shopping malls are pretty much different than ours in Malaysia. We have huge shopping malls that contain different shops and grocery shops while in Thailand,their shopping mall is like a Parkson containing a grocery shop named Tops.  ._. I don't know if it's only the malls that I went which is only like that tho.
And anywhere you go,you see their king.I assume that Thais pretty much respect their king a lot.Besides seeing their king, you would also see akuas.I admire akuas tho.They are even more prettier than girls it kinda hurts my feelings 😂

EXODICS:Akua is a word used by Malaysians to call those guys who dress up as woman.

Anyways moving on!

Later at night,we went to eat some Thai food and I don't know why but they ordered all fish dishes.  ._. And I literally cried because the tomyam was so spicy 😂 Such embarassment.

It rained later on and so our first day ended just like that /.\

Oh!I forgot to mention~Malaysia and Thailand has an hour of time difference.I didn't know at first and was quite confused lol.And also,their money is a digit bigger than ours.How should I put that...
Example:
1000 baht is RM100
so
50 baht is RM5
and so
199 baht is RM19.90

It's just an overall estimation tho xD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day...We woke up at 8am early morning,got ready and went to the market by a tut tut.
EXODICS:A tut tut is a vehicle,more like a taxi,that is very famous in Thailand.I assume that the name originated by the sound of the vehicle's horn that goes 'tut tut~'.And so it's called tut tut xD It costs RM2/person.(which is 20baht)
Tut Tut.

We first went to eat Kway Teow Thng (which tastes horrible and the service is horrible too).And then..Our shopping adventures start.xD

The market was like a shopping heaven xD The things are cheap,good quality,and lasting.👍 Just the conditions I want! My mom bought a lot of bags tbh..

Never forget to buy their instant noodles if you ever visit Thailand!Its worth the money and delicious too xD A box cost 160baht and there's 30 packets per box.Totally worth it 👍

careless careless shoot anonymous anonymous heartless
 mindless no one who care about meeeeeeeeeeeeee

After a long morning of shopping,we headed back to the hotel with handful of bags xD We took a rest and then walked to the hotel opposite us,which is Lee Garden,to have our lunch~The lunch was a buffet,held at the 33rd floor of the hotel.The food was...okay,quite satisfying,but something's missing.There were a lot of people,well,mostly tourists.
this is what it looks like from the 33rd floor lmao

 Later on,we went to Central,which is also a shopping mall near our hotel,to shop of course xD And surprisingly,I saw something that is my style B) naeseutailaniya~


jajjang~Sehun xD (cuz i call him seahorse)


This is definitely my style xD
The albums over there are SUPER CHEAP,I mean,like LITERALLY.I bought a set of growl albums cuz yolo man,yolo.Will definitely bring back die jungs too B)

this is the toilet in the mall.they only have like,one toilet per two floors.But the toilets are very clean and classy tho.They even have couches for you to sit outside the toilet.

Mirror selfie! #sehun

After that,we went back to the hotel,AGAIN,and rest of course.I continued reading my book for an hour or two to wait for the moon to come out xD And soon,it was night time.We then went out to explore Hatyai's nightlife,well we went to eat first before that xD We ate at a stall that is somewhat like economy rice.Tastes horrible and charges very expensive.NEVER GO THERE.

Hatyai night life B) 
Pasar malam~~~`` (aka night market)

There are lots of stuff sold at the night market~All are cheap and affordable.I bought some shorts and a watch(cuz i needed one badly),never forgetting to buy souvenirs for my friends too!There were loooots of people and it was very crowded,but it surely is a fun experience!

After we finished shopping,we went to McDonalds to feed our hungry stomachs.We ordered a Chicken Ham Pie(which was super delicious!),and waited for it to be ready in 7 minutes...But it's worth the wait! Totally a must try if you are to visit Thailand xD
Sawadeeka~

Chicken Ham Pie!

So sexy~hMM~Food porn.
I'd be willing to go there every single week just to eat this xD

And so our day ends here~
BUT WAIT! On the way back to the hotel,there was an elephant outside xD Will post at a different blog post called extras xD (cuz this post is too long u guys may find it boring ;-;)

Last day.Going back to Penang T^T

After finally getting used to living in Thailand,we have to go back no matter what...Such sad news.But before going,we went to the morning market (okay,so basically every single day we went to different markets -.-'').
took this picture when my lens were blurry.but well,it causes a vscocam effect xD


the prawns are humongous.SUPER XXL PRAWNS

And then,we went to eat Kway Teow Thng,AGAIN,which taste a lot better than the previous one we ate xD That's all~I'm back in Penang now writing this blog post that I don't think anyone would read while missing the greatness of Thailand.But what's better than my home sweet home,right? ;)

I'm good to be back! And anyways,I would be visiting Thailand again next week xD (My dreams of eating chicken ham pie every week may come true xD) So if you live in Thailand and would kindly recommend other places for me to visit,do let me know in the comment section below!

Till we meet again in the next blog post! adios```
