The Floating Market

Not To be Missed
A trip to Hatyai can only be made complete with this trip to the market on the river.

Walking to the designated place saw us browsing through local stalls selling local delicacies and products.

The three ladies got together for a shot to be kept forever.

Handicraft so well crafted and attractively displayed. It was hard to resist.

Throngs of people going towards the same direction to have a feel of the market.

This is new to me. Never seen before. A sausage wrapped in flour mixture. Doesn't look too difficult to prepare though.

Coconut pancake well wrapped up for sale.

From a distance the boat people doing business on the water is a sight.

A tourist attraction, the floating market is a crowd puller.

I find this different. The vendor delivers in this manner.

The buyer pays thus...very imaginative; part and parcel of the winning game.

All kinds of roots are deep fried ... very tasty.

Puan Poh is most keen to get a drink as it is served in this attractive mug.

But the best is to come; you can take the mug home...ooo...a sales gimmick. You pay for both products. No businessman loses under normal circumstances. But a good trick.

The 2 teachers are very at home here. Eat and drink like the locals.

Seafood in batter.

Colorful fruits to catch the eye and bud.

Ice cream served with coconut.

Local appetizers. Out of the world. No chef prepares like them.

Dumplings of all shades and shapes.

Oysters caught fresh from the sea...

Chicken rice...

Fresh, yummy salads...

The sweet dodol...

We were well entertained too; lovely sharp and strong voice...notice the little girl.

Street wise and already willing to sing for a penny; she may just grow up to be a star.

We left as the skies grew dark.

The Klonghae Floating Market is different. Give it a visit.

No regrets.
