Hatyai, Thailand!! Sawadeekap! Kapkunkap ❤️🙏

Olaa!!! Como estás? How are you, guys? Hope you are in a good health!!

Last month I went for a short vacay to Hatyai, Thailand. It’s food heaven 😍 Thinking to repeat it again.

Check these out 😃

So… I went alone to Hatyai. I booked a return ticket via online and just trust the flow 😂 Parked my car at TBS (Terminal Bus Station), I think around RM10 per day. The journey was about 7 hours, starts around 10pm, and arrived at the Malaysia border around 6am (KL 7pm)

It was a long queue due to Malaysia public holiday, so a lot of Malaysian are going to Thailand for vacation. So, I passed and stamped twice, once at the Malaysia immigrant to check out from the country, and 2nd one was for Thailand immigrant for entrance. You really need to queue twice for the stamping purpose
😃

So, I’m meeting my colleague at the Duty Free Zone building, which was located between the Malaysia and Thailand Immigrant station. So as I am done with the Malaysia Immigrant, I walked about 5-10 minutes to Duty Free Zone waiting for my other colleague and our transport Van)

Duty Free Zone is located between Malaysia Immigrant station and Thailand Immigrant station

So, our entrance is Songkla after done with all stamping 😀. Finally 🥰

We had our breakfast at the nearby shop. It’s “Roti pisang”. Something like banana crepe with condensed milk. With Ice Tea

“Roti Pisang” aka Banana Crepe!! Delicious, eat with condensed milk ❤️

Just look around nearby building, I think it’s Fire Station.

Not sure what is that, but look so cute. haha!! Banananaananana 🍌

So the 1st place we went is Kaysorn Souvenir. To me, it’s not really that cheap. Just normal price. So I don’t buy much here, just few items n chill while drink the Thai Green Tea blended.

hurrmmmm…not so nice. I think was about 60baht. not so cheap too. nahh 🙃

Okay they have some other stall but I didnt try.

The building is nice, I’m just chilling and enjoying the ambiance 😃

Next stop, we went to Nora Plaza Hatyai 🥰

See you in the next Post

Tekala Waterfall & Terra Pong Restaurant @Ulu Langat ❤️

Hey, whatsapp guy! Hope you are in a good health.

Okay, I just wanna share the best healing spot in Ulu Langat that I went 2 weeks ago.

So, my brain is piled up with a lot of workload and it’s time to release it. Me and my colleague, we decided to go to waterfall and having lunch at nearby restaurant. The restaurant name is Terra Pong Restaurant which indirectly means, Floating Restaurant. The food is Thai Muslim food, very delicious and you are required to book the place at least 24hours before arrival. I’m kind like how the way they manage the order, you book through their website food you want to order then you gotta pay 50% from the total amount, and pay another 50% when u finish eating at the restaurant. It’s been before pandemic that I want to come, and let’s check it out.

So, the building is basically a traditional art, not really sure from Malaysia or Thailand itself. There are huge parking lot, accommodate prayer room for muslim (Surau) and washroom. Let’s check it out!!

We came too early that the waterfall gate is close and need to wait like 20 minutes before the guy came. It cost RM2 per person, and parking so far its free. We paid at the entrance and walk inside the forest.

When u walk in, there is some animal statue, these are the local animals that usually can be found in our forest.

The entrance point where the track begin. Okay, if you want to go healing with a lot of stuff, I don’t recommend this place as It has a lot of steps. If you wanna come, it’s better to have a backpack style. easier for you to climb up the steps

After we hike about 10minutes, this is the 1st waterfall, and if there are more waterfall up there, but we just hike as long as we can see the waterfall. 😃 exhausted lol

I brought my own milk tea “Teh Tarik” and feel gorgeous 😍 We ate “Nasi Lemak” and some “Kuih” I bought near to my home. We just bring ready made food just buy from nearby stall coz only me and 1 of my colleague. Oh!! btw, there are fishes in the water and we feed with our “Kuih”. I didn’t manage to get photo coz my phone was in my beg and too lazy to take it out. lol

After about 4 hours of spending time chit chat, bathe and eating, then we go to the restaurant we book a day before. Warning!!! You really need to book a day before, if not they won’t entertain you, or your food will arrive very late.

So it took 24 minutes from the waterfall to the restaurant. Oh! btw, the route is not easy access as you will require transport like renting a car and driving a village route.

24 minutes drive the village route by car

The restaurant is very near to the junction, so be careful when u want to enter the parking area. I missed the restaurant and make a U-turn at the nearby shops 😃

When you enter, the washroom and prayer room (Surau) was on your right. This is the hallway to washroom and prayer room (Surau)

Okay, so here is the washroom and place to take ablution

Inside the “Surau”. When I enter, I feel like I’m in 80s Era 😃 remind me of my grandparents’ house

I think this is smoking area..because it’s away from the restaurant.

Shoe rack, but nobody put their shoe on it including me 😃

This hallway is from the washroom n “Surau” to the restaurant eating area

Our reserved table 🥰 When u enter the restaurant, just go to the cashier and tell them your reservation name

To get the food, you just ask the receptionist at the payment counter to serve you. I ordered “Ikan masak 3 rasa” with Thai Tomyam and Kailan Vegie “Sayur Kailan ikan masin”. The food is marvelous.

I ordered mocha ice and my colleague ordered Ice lemon tea. I think it will be very nice if they serve dessert, but when I look into the menu, couldn’t find it.

this is kinda like stage, I think those who want to accommodate wedding ceremony, can do it here.

Beautiful right, so the restaurant is on the huge lake and it’s floating. Not exactly floating la, but looks like it’s floating. hahaha

Not sure what is this, maybe for baby to take a nap.

Oh yes!! You can feed the fishes there and they sell it about RM5 for 1 container like this. You can pay at the counter.

Before heading to home, I take a glance of the restaurant. Beautiful, absolutely stunning 😍 ❤️

So…will come back to the restaurant??

Absolutely yes!! I will definitely come again and enjoy the food and view here. Insya Allah.

Till then…to be continued….

Love,

Sofia

So I reached to this hotel quiet early, around 2pm. The check-in time is 3pm. Yay!! 1 hour early, I’m checking out the surrounding and found 1 nice outdoor restaurant. it’s called, “The Burgerlab”!!
