Runcation: Hatyai - Day 1: Ice Dome

Date: 22th-24th May, 2015

What is the most important thing to do when u travel? Yes, ure right! F.O.O.D!!!!

We head straight to Kai Tod Daycha @kedai pokok mangga by walking. The restaurant is located at "Sheutit Rd, Tambon Hat Yai, Amphoe Hat Yai" (that was what we searched in Google Map) which is about 700m from the train station. It was hot and the decision to order tomyam wasn't the best of an idea. But we're starving. We ordered the white tomyam, tempura squid, mixed veggie with Oyster Sauce and salty egg squid.
After lunch, we decided to take the tuk-tuk instead. The hotel was 0.9km away but we're already drenched by the earlier walk.

It was heaven when we reached Hatyai Greenview Hotel. Airconndddd!!! We booked the hotel via the hotels' website. i cant realy remember how much it cost but if i'm not mistaken it's only RM200 for 2nights. There're 5 of us, so it's RM40 per person. The room was huge and clean. There were 4 towels provided. :)

After settling down and taking a rest, we left for the Ice Dome. Seems to be the best idea with the hot weather.

Oh, we rented a tuk-tuk for the afternoon to take use to few places - Ice Dome, View Point and the Floating Market. This time i cant remember how much we haggled for it. We're kind of cheated since after coming out from the Ice Dome, the driver said that his tuk-tuk cannot climbed up to the View Point. He should hv said this earlier! We're already in the same Municipal Park.

We dropped the original plan to go to the Chang Puak Elephant Camp due to the late arrival. It's already 4pm when we left the hotel and the elephant camp closes at 5pm.

Anyway, back to the Ice Dome. Entrance fee was BHT300 including the winter jacket. To rent an ear muffler and booties, you have to add BHT100.

There are plenty of ice animals, small building and a slide. Apart from that, there is a section for flowers near the exit. We spent 1.5hrs in there, then off to the next stop. Klonghae Floating Market!
