My Danok, Hat Yai & Songkhla Trip

Broke a new record!! Neither International record nor Malaysia record, but my own record. :D That's I have driven for more than 1600km within few days by myself!! With passengers of course, but i be a driver all the way!! To Hatyai & Songkhla (Thailand) and some interesting places in Nothern Malaysia.

Super duper exhausted and tired i swear!! That's why although i had back to Malacca for quite a few days ago, but i was too tired and no mood for blogging!! Sorry for neglecting my blog for so long time!! When thinking of wanted to edit my photos before blogging, i felt lazy so much!! But thanks god, finally i have a mood to blog today!!

This is a super long post. More than 50 photos in this entry. About 80% of the photos are snapped in temples. Let's check it out the photos!!

We departed from Malacca to Thai on 27/8 Saturday night. After 8 hours of driving from Malacca, finally we reached Changlun Kedah at around 5.30am something.

At first, i was considering whether to park my car at Changlun or Kayu Hitam, but then at last i had decided to park at Changlun.

My decision was correct not to park my car at Kayu Hitam, coz when we reached Kayu Hitam, there was a terrific traffic jams!!

We took taxi to the border of Thai. As you can see the customs and immigration clearance at Danok was queue up with almost 100% Malaysians!!! Crowded max!

The queue was so damn long!!!Wtf. It let us waiting for almost 35 minutes!

Before we check in our hotel at Songkhla, we all were headed to Hat Yai first. Subscribed to one day tour in Hatyai & Songkhla for 1300 Thai baht for four persons and bought Thai girl show ticket for 45 bucks Ringgit Malaysia per piece.

Honestly to tell you, actually there are nothing much places that can visit in Hatyai & Songkhla. Most of the places we visited are temples, beaches & shopping centres. 3 days 2 nights is enough to visit both of the places. Unlike Bali, i went to Bali for 5 days 4 nights, but there are still have many places that i haven't visited yet in Bali. Bali has a lot of interesting places i swear, not only for its gorgeous beaches but famous for its historic temples. All kind of temples. The view is gorgeous. Ok ok, I'd stop praise about Bali.

Our first visited place in Thai.

Okay, i have no idea what the place is called, what i meant is , the name of this place. It is located at up of a hill. Perhaps the place is called" Elephant Temple". I guess so. Coz u may see a lot of elephant statues here. Small size, big size, gold color, black color, white color, etc.

Most of the visitors here are Malaysian Chinese.

See, a lot of Elephants!! I think it's one of an Indian Gods.

Four Faces God

Wishes Tree. Regret that i didn't make a wish. "Hey, Wishes Tree, can i make a wish here? I wish i can be a millionaire one day!!" :D

So crowded

This is the biggest Elephants!!With double heads.

Going down to visit another temple.

The view in Hat Yai. Do you notice a 'Guan Yin Buddha' at the bottom??

Buddha Statue. So tall!!

I asked my tour guide to take a picture for us. Not bad, potential to be a good photograher. :D

You know when i stepped into the temple, at first, i thought that these were all a real monk, but i was wrong!! It's fake!! It's made by wax!! But it looks so real!! Awesome job!

See, don't you think that it looks so real?? Especially his eyes!! How they do that?

This is a Chinese monk. I guess so.

"Guan Di"

Four 'macho' men.

Guan Yin Buddha

Camho picture

It is called??

It's called "Duk-duk". It is a famous public transport in Thai.

We have a bad experience when taking a duk-duk. This was happened on the last day in Songkhla & Thai.

We wanted to save cost so we had decided to take a duk-duk to Danok (Border of Malaysia and Thai) . At first, we thought that the driver was understand and know where we want to go to, coz we have mentioned that we want go to custom Malaysia / Thai which is located in Danok and Kayu Hitam. If we mentioned Kayu Hitam, we afraid that he won't be understand, so we told him Danok.

You know, where the driver took us to??

Songkhla Immigration Centre!!!

I told him that's not the place we want to go to, but he seemed can't get what i was talking about. It was like "A duck Talking to a Chicken!!" Wtf!

We were so pissed off. We already told him that's not the place we want to go to, but he still took us inside the immigration centre!!! Wtf. We decided not to argue with him anymore, b coz the pea-sized brain man won't understand what we want to express about no matter how hard we tried. Wasting out time.

So, we walked back out from the immigration centre to the roadside. Decided to take another duk-duk.

The second duk-duk seemed understand and know where we want to go to. As if.

We told him Custom Malaysia and he replied back " Malaysia, Malaysia?" (Mentioned twice). I replied back : " Yeah yeah."

This time, you all guess where the dumb duk-duk took us to?

Malaysia Embassy!!!

We were almost fainted b coz of this. So fucking pissed off!

I can't understand why they can't understand a simple English??? Speechless.

I got a phobia. Phobia to take a duk-duk.

Lunch time!!!

Going to have a lunch. We were wondered where the tour guide gonna take us for our lunch??

Going to an Island to have our lunch?

Taking a picture on the ferry.

Finally reached the restaurant

The restaurant is called "Sirada". Wonder know what it means.

Visitng the restaurant. The restaurant looks like a birds zoo. Rearing so many birds!!

Nice view

We don't care the restaurant is looks like a zoo or what ever, as long as the food is nice, that's enough. We ordered seafood tomyam. My favourite. Yummy yummy!!

It was so delicious i swear! Neither too spicy nor too sour. Tasted so good!

Thai fried rice. Not bad.

Total all these (food and drinks) for 470 baht.

After lunch, we off to Samila Beach. Will blog about it in my next post.

After visiting the Samila Beach, then we all back to our hotel to check in and have a rest.

We stayed at Pavilion Songkhla Hotel

I thought that the Wifi is free, but i was wrong! It charges RM5 or 50 baht per hour. Bloody expensive!

The condition of the superior room was not bad, but i kinda hated watching their TV programmes. The TV signal receiver was so bad!! I don't even watched a TV programme while i staying in this room.

Camho pic

Time past really quickly. When night was coming, and it's time for us to watch Thai Girl Show!! It's an erotic show.

If you have never ever watched a Thai Girl Show before (Tiger Show), then you should go for it!! The show was really stunning i swear! The show covered all kind of erotic performances. Started from nude girls dancing, live making love, men dicks performances to shemale nude dancing!!
