Temperature – 30 degrees C
This stop is slightly obscure, but we wanted to have another taste of a more ‘real Thailand after Bangkok, so we head to the only part of Southern Thailand that seems not to revolve around tourism. Hat Yai has a population of around 160,000 people and is close to the border of Malaysia. Much of our time was spent in search of good food (we heard it would be good) but like the street cockroaches, we walked the pavements for hours without success!

Finally we think we find a cafe, but on closer inspection it turns out to be a shop that sells signs!
Very late at night we settle for a street cafe.
Aside from Kangaroo there is a lot of wildlife in Hat Yai. We see an elephant in the street, many cats, geckos, rats, frogs, etc.
The following day we eat at a small cafe...
... which, according to a photo on the wall had recently been flooded.
Chloé and Kangaroo look on in horror as our dinner is spoilt by karaoke. One man kept getting up and we had to leave during his 9th song.
