🦑 Market Mania @ Hat Yai, Thailand

#wheretogo We visited Hat Yai, Thailand for only 3 days 2 nights, and we went to at least 2 market/festival per day! It truly is a land of celebration! Here are some that we went to, and what stood out the most for us: 1) Skyfall Hatyai @ Central Festival Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ever visited an event inside a car park? We chanced upon the poster of this event at Hum Coffee, and headed there straight in the evening! There were lots of booths selling food and thrift goodies as well. And a bar too in the middle of the carpark! 2) Lee Gardens Night Market Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Surely, you've heard of this market before. Super lively, and super packed as well. Mostly food stalls, but there are musicians busking as well! As soon as you go in, the smell of fried seafood will entice you to their stalls. Says the person who got enticed 😭 3) Greenway Night Market Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you're looking to spend on fashion, then Greenway Night Market is a better market to head to. Lots of new style and fashionable choices, and if you're hungry, there's a huge food court available as well! 4) Walking Street Hatyai Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ They have almost all kinds of stalls imaginable - food, appliances, clothing and more! There was even a singing competition happening when we were there! Such a fun atmosphere!

🐟 Delicious Meal @ Ah Restaurant, Hatyai!

#wheretogo Address: 105 Supasarnrangsan Rd, Hat Yai, Hat Yai District, Songkhla 90110, Thailand If you're craving for some chinese food while at Hatyai, then make your way to Ah Restaurant! It is located near the Kim Yong Market, and you'll be able to easily order your food as the lady knows Teochew! We ordered Deep Fried Tofu with Crab Meat (it was REAL crab meat y'all!), Teochew Style Steam Fish, and Fried Chinese Kale with Salted Fish. The tofu dish is a MUST TRY and was highly recommended by staff and servers there! It all totalled up to 1080 baht, which was a complete steal. Big portions, delicious, and so worth the price! Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

☕️ Hum Coffee Brewer @ Hatyai

#wheretogo Address: 9 Pracharom Alley, Tambon Hat Yai, Hat Yai District, Songkhla 90110, Thailand Hum Coffee was recommended to us by a Hatyai local, and it sure was a gem indeed! The cafe was really small, there were only two tables. However, the setting was really comfortable and cozy! We loved how there was a glass panel that featured posters of local events and art scene. That's how we found out about a flea market and decided to check it out! The coffee of course, was amazing too. It was too bad that they weren't selling the particular beans that was used to make our cup of Cafe Latte! There was also an adorable pit bull at the side of the cafe! Bonus of going to Hum Coffee for all of us! 🤣 Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

☕️ Hyping Up @ HYPE Coffee Bar, Hatyai

#wheretogo Address: 19 Nipatuthit 2 Rd, Tambon Hat Yai, Hat Yai District, Songkhla 90110 The cafe scene is up and brewing lately at Hatyai, and we're particularly fond of this little cafe we visited called "HYPE Coffee Bar". We love the minimalistic and yet sophisticated interior. Everything looked clean and proper in this little cafe. The owner/barista knows his beans well, and recommends which coffee for you to take depending on your taste buds. We got one cappucino and one latte to-go, and it costs us only 140 baht. We really enjoyed our visit there and the lovely chat with the owner! Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🐔 Dining at โกตี๋โอชา Gotee Ocha

#wheretogo Address: 134 134 Thanon Niphatuthit 3, Hat Yai, Hat Yai District, Songkhla 90110 Gotee Ocha is known for their succulent steamed chicken and their crispy roast pork. They're also known for their Singapore-style bak kut teh but we didn't order that. We could gobble down an entire pot of chicken rice if our stomach had space! It was so fragrant and comforting! Our small plate of chicken and roast pork with 2 rice comes to a total of 345 baht. Amazing affordable too! The lovely lady at the counter was kind enough to give us a nice peace sign as we took the last picture at the restaurant 🤣 So hospitable and oh so adorable! Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
