Hey Everyone,
My Apologies for the Late Post!
Yes I've arrived safely at Thailand Hat Yai and once I've reached, I totally understand why many People like this Place. Really Smooth Immigration Process and it was not much of a Hassle hailing Grab (Yes the Ride Hailing Service in Thailand is Grab)
WARNING: This Blog Post will contain References to Cannabis or Weed. This is a Known Drug that is Highly Illegal and Banned in Many Countries. This Food Blog DOES NOT condone or promote the use of any Illegal Substances. The information is presented here for Educational Purposes ONLY.
Thais are also Generally Very Friendly and Welcoming. Even when I'm not conversant in the Thai Language its not much issues. No wonder this is the "Land of Smiles" (Of course it would certainly be nice if you can at least say Basic Polite "Thank You" lah Khop Khun Krub!)
I also totally understand why Malaysians like Hat Yai.
It really kindda feels like your Average Malaysian Town, perhaps with More Overhead Hanging Wires. I was legit surprised to see "Selamat Hari Merdeka" for Malaysia right here in Thailand Central Hat Yai Mall. 我人是到了泰国, 但是感觉好象也在马来西亚. 😅
Here are some Highlights of Today's Trip:
First up lets get the Elephant out of the Room which is the Warning that you see right at the Beginning of this Post. On the Surface, I mentioned Hat Yai really feels like Malaysia, and it really does. But as you delve deeper, you really realize you are No Longer in Malaysia anymore.
Because as you walk along and explore, you can literally see Cannabis / Weed Shops available. And they're not even Discreet about it. Its literally just a Shop that Openly shows Weed for Sale. Certainly not something you will see in Malaysia (or Singapore) for sure! I just find it amusing that even Home Delivery is available hahaha.
The People running this Place aren't even the Stereotypical Shady type. Just Normal-Looking Folks doing a Business. Really Friendly in fact that allowed me to take Photos. Hahaha I did not try any obviously (Yes I'm serious) so I'm afraid I'm not able to tell you how Weed tastes like (or Smokes like) The Future Post for this will be more of an Information Overview. If you ever want to know how Weed or a Weed Bong cost though, do check out this Post in the Future!
I've also visited ASEAN Night Bazaar

This was a Really Happening Pasar Malam, consisting of a 1st Level Retail Shopping and a Popular 100% Muslim Friendly Hawker Centre at 2nd Level. The name says "ASEAN" but honestly, this place gives me Much More of a Malaysian Vibe tbh. Totally feels like a Popular Medan Selera / Hawker Centre in Malaysia Kuala Lumpur perhaps. Same Vibes.
Alright lets talk about the Main Topic as always: Food!
Just 2 Places and taking it Easy for the 1st Day.
First is J Ma Now Seafood Restaurant. I visited this because it seems quite raved on Google Reviews. (5 Stars out of over 1100 Reviews) Oh indeed the Iconic Thai Crab Fried Rice is Good. And having a Whole Big Fat Seabass just for me and no sharing is Indulgence to the Max!
Fuiyoh Aroi Mak Mak! Everything here comes up to THB918 (S$35.50)

Next up is Wasana Mookrata Hatyai (วาสนาหมูกระทะ หาดใหญ่) because how can you come to Thailand and Not Eat Mookrata tio bo? Hahaha!
Honestly its not a Fancy Place actually. Located in Quite a Ulu End of a Street, I stumbled upon it while exploring. Its a Buffet Style No Time Limit 吃到饱. What I found interesting was that they use Traditional Charcoal. Ordered just a few items to test test quality and its not too shabby. Together with a Mug of Classic Singha Beer, it was a Fine Way to end the 1st Day.
Mookata Buffet costs THB289 (S$11.20) and a Bottle of Singha Beer was THB90 (S$3.50)
Below are the Complete List of Locations I visited if you are interested. 👍
