A great floating market at Hat Yai.

No paper or bags, everything s served in these Banana leaves and is cheap & tasty. These fish cakes were 20 Baht.

Southern Thailand

This is not a touristy part of Thailand, which is why I went only as far as Hat Yai and then looped around and headed north again. There were three bombings and a nurse was killed while I was there. 

The sad thing is that I met a lot of good people many of them Muslims but once again the extremist losers rule by fear with their cowardly acts. How brave were these three little turds to pick on a nurse on her way home. The lowest most cowardly scum in the world. Like most extremists.

These images are from Hat yai Floating Market, a traditional Muslim market which was full of very friendly people many of them visitors from Malaysia. You order a dish and they put in the basket and you simple retrieve it and place money back in basket. 

 

 
Its a busy & friendly market.
Siamese fighting fish.
One of the many Mosques you find all over Thailand.
One of the many Army / Police roadblocks I encountered on my trip. In the south they are very serious because of the number of bombings.
