12/27/09 second day in Hatyai

6 of us already paid for 25 Baths to visit 3 temples yesterday, so we started to gather at the lobby at about 6.30 am, with the van driver and tour guide we proceeded to the four faces of Buddha in the morning. When we got there, still in the dark..


Sun rising.....marvelous...it's beautiful...........


Then we went to the hill top Buddha near to the Chow Mei Kuan Yin...so good we could see the Hat Yai panorama throughout the Hat Yai....what can I said.....with the fresh air...mild wind.....morning taste...I love them................


I really wish to stay a bit longer here.........but time constrained. We proceeded to Chow Mei Kuan Yin.



Here is another shrine in the temple compound. Inside there were 8 'Ba Xian' dieties.


In other area, we could see these beautiful statues.......


Then we traveled to the steel pagoda. This time we reached in the morning, it's cleared in view....very nice pagoda....we offered the robes...the tour guide taught us the way....round the pagoda, put the robe on the stand, cleaned the alms bowl and hung the little bell.....so nice..........very calm....and happy...........


Then the van driver send us to market. We went to take the breakfast then do shopping again. Below is the photo of Thailand King which placed on the building of the market.


We went back to the hotel and prepared to take lunch. We are very surprising that the bus tyre had been sabotaged by the local people. Anyway it's the mistake from the bus driver, he wrongly put the bus in such a location that supposed not to park the bus there.

Then we walked to the restaurant. There was a Cheng Mai peanut hawker, somehow the business was not good. He would better put some flavours for the nuts. It was because this nuts not as fragant as the peanut.


Then we went for the window shopping and walked back to hotel. This hotel should put more sofa or chairs for the customer at the lobby...cause there were a lot of older customers, especially with the long wait for bus....or van..... See ! Mom had to become a temporary security guard ! Ha...jokes.... ! Father had to sit on the floor.......


Then about 2.30 pm we left Hat Yai to Malaysia- Thai border. A lot of cars, van and bus. We had to quee for a long times.


On the way back home, before reached Sungai Petani. Well ! suddenly I heard there was a loud sound, seems like something crashing.... probably the tyre had some problem. The bus driver then stopped at the side of the highway, then have a check. Really ! it's true...the Hatyai local people sabotage another tyre which the bus driver never aware of......

What can I said this time.....to the one who did the sabotage.....Please think of the whole bus passengers lives......you can asked policeman to take care of this matter....but don't do this kind of stuff...have you ever think of the lives of the passengers who travel a long way to visit your places and not safely back to home? Think about that.....don't do this next time....you won't feel good...if you heard the bad news......which will coming back to you.............

Our bus driver drove slowly and we changed another bus to go back home safely.
