Hat Yai and Saren Tani

Finally made it to Thailand... first stop is"Hat Yai".

Got into town, got some cash (Thai Baht), found a guest house and got myself a feed of tom yum soup... very spicey but nice.

Had an afternoon nap and then went for a big walk around town... almost got lost and didn't get back until late that night... stopped into a shop on the way home and had some nice noodles.




The room I had there was on the third floor but it was fronting a main road and it was damn noisey all night. I don't know how a small town of around 200 000 people can be driving around so much... what are they doing all the time?

Decided to leave Hat Yai on Tuesday morning and head up to Saren Tani ...


Woke up..had breakfast...a girl sat at the table beside me and smiled... I looked and thought nice boobs... they look a little bit big for an Asian girl... I was right...once again she said "hello" in his manly voice. We had a bit of a chat... she works as a lip singer in a caberet bar...another lady boy. Wanted to kiss me as I headed off for the bus, but I avoided and shook his hand and went out side.


Caught a mini-bus out of town heading north.
The minibus stopped on the way for a fuel top up and a pee stop... I got some red chicken curry and rice there... it was my first taste of Thai food... gee it was good... wish I got a larger container.

Got into Serant Tani and looked aroundfor quite a while for a room...



Luckily I found some street markets here tonight and guess what.. more chicken curry and rice.. this time it was green, with lemongrass and ginger... ohhhh... so good!!!


Went for a walk this morning looking around town...down to the river...



Nice bit of rain here this afternoon.
Almost time to go out for dinner again... so much nice food... I have to have a health check when I go back to Australia.

Lots of these little cars in Serratani.. they are Taxis.. they call them TukTuk.. then again they call anything with a motor a TukTuk...
