Floating Frenzy @ Khlong Hae Floating Market

Over Deepavali weekend my friend and I visited Hat Yai and stopped by Khlong Has Floating Market after about 25 minutes Tuk-tuk ride from the city centre. Throngs of Malaysians on long holiday weekend were there too which made it hard to feel like I was actually in Hat Yai, and not somewhere in Malaysian soil. But the offerings are a plenty from local Thai food, and what seems like a crowd favorite, coconut water served in bamboo jar. Muslim travellers worry not, Halal food are easily available here. So did scores and scores of souvenir shops, to take home some mementos. It was a busy weekend at the floating market for sure! Tired of walking? At dawn after National Anthem, there were cultural shows in the esplanade area for visitors to enjoy and soak in what made Hat Yai special. #grouptrip #hatyai #thailand #market #floatingmarket #khlonghae
