Samila Beach - 2 Girls 1 Mermaid

Back to the long awaited Hat Yai posts that I'm dying to finish, since last year. Hehe.

A little bit of recap, brought my friend Wendy to Hat Yai to ease her broken-heart from that ever idiotic ex-bf of hers who took away 2.8 years of her beautiful youth. Hmph.

So on the second day, decided to rent a car and go out to see the outer part of Hat Yai.




There's no taxi in Hat Yai, it's either tuk-tuk or motoraxi. And to get to the Samila beach, I doubted a little motor-powered cart could bring us that far, hence it had to be a rented car.

It was going to be dirty, I assumed (and I was right, back to that later, maybe in the next post) so I geared up for an outing in my Tough cargo pants (most expensive cargo pants ever bought - RM400) and went out.




Turned out Wendy came down the lift in her mini skirt. -.- right~

Half an hour of squeezing and wheezing through and out of the city, we arrived comfortably and swiftly at the Samila Beach.




There were many food stalls at the roadside where the cars parked, so we walked along these, bought some lunch before landing our feet on smooth feeling sand.







Also saw something familiar.




was this chicken or duck fetus egg?




I think it's chicken egg. It looked like chicken egg.




No I didn't buy and eat that. But I did eat a half-formed duck fetus egg in Cambodia years ago. Yummy.

But I did buy the ever-delicious pineapple. I don't know what's up with Thailand pineapple but they're the sweetest pineapple I've tasted in any tropical country in this part of the world.







Wendy's lunch consisted of a sausage.




Yes, that's how she stayed so slim. -.-


waiting to take a photo with the mermaid





The infamous Samily beach mermaid statue.




I used to see a miniature of this statue in my house, though till today I wasn't sure if my parents got it from Thailand and some foreign country that's further away. You know, where mermaid tale was created.








two mermaids, oh wait, I mean three.



Wendy is single and available right now. She's the most loyal decent girlfriend any guy can have, and can grown rather attached to the guy she loves. okay I hope she doesn't kill me now. :p


Okay I know this is not a long post, but just want to show you Samila beach in Hat Yai.













Spotted colorful cotton candy nearby.




eeek! I loved these.

When I was a kid I could never get enough of these.

Then saw two big statues of a cat and a mouse.













There's a mythical story behind these two statues, but I'm too lazy to write them down.

It involved another dog. And a rich merchant on a ship. It's a weird story.

But anyway, heading to Songkhla Aquarium next!
