Trip to Hatyai,Oct 2011 - Colourful Hatyai (Part 2)

These were taken on my last day at Hatyai, a typical Sunday morning in Hatyai. After breakfast, we went to the nearby market for a walk & I was as usual excited with the load of colourful stalls of food, fruits, vegetables & clothes.

Here are some colourful photos that I managed to capture:

It wasn't the large market ("Dai Pasar") in Hatyai, so we finished walking through the entire market in 15-20 minutes, stopping by certain stalls to buy some snacks. I reckon our best buy were the boiled sweet potatoes & baby yams. They were really sweet & delicious!

We left Hatyai around 9:30a.m. & headed back to Malaysia. Ah, what a journey. It was a good experience visiting Hatyai for the weekend. I'm not sure if I will pop by Hatyai again, but I'm glad that I have visited Hatyai at least once (and Perlis as well! - I've officially completed my journey around the whole of Malaysia - all 14 states!).

Coming up, I've a food tasting/review write-up on something that I've never featured on my blog before. Stay tuned! :)
