Day 2 Hakyai - Mango

Sawadee!

While everyone is embedded with Hakyai's praying routine, well you are out of luck for my Day 2 literary.

Blame it all on the message we had on Day 1, it was too relax and distress so we woke at a godly hour - 9 in the morning. Well the driver we hired already used of our 'time'. Totally not recommend to woke as late as us as you'll miss all the time for your vacations.

Rui Dian bakery
Passed by many time, have no chance to buy and sample it. Both my stomach and bag have no space.

Tuk Tuk car to temple in the morning~
Coffin donation department
Poor people cannot afford buying a coffin, this is where we can help them :)

See those papers? They are actually the prove for the donations. Prove you have done good.
Just like coupon for Karma.
I've been asked to offer 3 joss stick to the god for praying and receive lucks.
The Afternoon market. Love this place
250 baht (still can nego)

Day 1 Hakyai - Hello

Hi, Neighbour!

So this is where the story begin! As soon as I reached Thailand - after hideous 10 hours Skyline Bus from Kepong, me and my friends and bunch came across this Alisan Gold - Bus company. 

Upon arrival, we rent the whole bus/minivan alike vehicle to our hotel - cost THB1000, equivalent to Rm100. Surprisingly the Indian-like-driver can talk Cantonese like us. Better use Chinese or Japanese or if you want to talk bad about him from behind, think twice - they are language master just like us.

We even can discuss and schedule our pick up spot, with Cantonese in Thailand, that just plain amazing.  
Seat inside the bus is very superior and spacious, they even provide Hello Kitty blanket throughout the journey.
Tuk Tuk Car
So, the name for this truck is Tuk Tuk Car. Mystery Solved!
We always watch Lakorn and saw this unique design mini van. Apparently it is used to transport, just like bus.
I don't even know why it been called as Tuk Tuk Car. It never make any tuk tuk tuk sound ; even the horn is pit pit pit, not tuk tuk tuk, weird.
Initial plan I was going by myself. Because I want to be "Like-A-Boss" . But my friend was too going to the same trip, same locations, same time. (luckily it did not happen, or you will not reading this blog now)

So in the end, I'm going Hakyai with my friend and along with his relatives. Most of them are very good in negotiation, especially our leader, forgotten her name, lets name her, Ms Nego.
Time in Malaysia 9:24am. 
Centara Hotel. One of the best hotel in Hakyai, but most people will choose Mayflower Hotel for tight budget.
