Floating Market in Hatyai, Thailand

I never knew the existence of a floating market in Hatyai.

(aka Khong Hae Floating Market or Klonghae Floating Market)

Until this CNY, my mum was superb thrilled bringing us there.

Our luck, it wasn’t really crowded when we got into Hatyai.

IMG_1880IMG_1966IMG_1863Opened since 2008.

The market is located 4km from the town of Hatyai.

NOTICE! it is ONLY open from Friday-Sunday,from 3pm-9pm.

We were rushing home that day so we went as early as possible.

Most of them were just setting up when we got there.

We spent bout 45 mins hunting for food by the river first before we went to the other section on land.

The food is just so mouth-watering.

I didnt expect it to be this delicious after spending days in town. =P

Just look at my sis’s expression below.

LMAO!

Of course they served fried insects as well.

I still haven try it. Shall try it next time.

You know what is the best thing in this small market?

The food is sooooo freaking CHEAP!

It’s like 20 thai baht (Rm2) only!

You can still bring the cute porcelain and bamboo home after you’ve finished it.

This is how they pass the food and money.

There are about 100 stalls there.

Some say they have souvenirs cheaper than the ones in town.

But things there look no difference to me than the ones in M’sia.

So i went home empty but with a big tummy. =P

  1. I didn't have the chance to visit this floating market because of the time constraint. Will pay a visit when I'm going to HatYai again :)
