PART 1 - Naik Train ke Hatyai 

PART 2 - The BED Hotel 

PART 3 - Lee Plaza Garden 

PART 4 - Dimsum Chabura

Still cerita hari kedua lagi ek, aduimak memang panjang betul lah menulis kali ni. 

Petang tuh lepas solat jumaat dalam pukul 4 cam tu kitorang keluar dari hotel ermm barulah tak panas sket nak jalan kan. Kitaorang nak ke Khlong Hae Floating Market untuk apa lagi? makan-makan lah. 

Tempat ni fames dengan pelbagai jenis makanan Thai yang authentic dan unik cara hidangan dan pembelian. Korang kena membeli belah dengan penjual yang ada di atas sampan, kita order dari tepi sampan nanti penjual akan hulur makanan dalam bakul comel then kita letak duit kat dalam tuh je. 

So kalau naik Grab memang murah tapi di sebabkan kitorang nak ke lagi satu tempat dekat-dekat Floating Market tuh then nak suruh diroang tunggu so kita ambil Tuk-Tuk sajor.

ambil gambar no plate TukTuk sebab takut terlupa tapi driver dia dari jauh dah panggil ktorang sebab takut ktorang tak nampak dia ek, bagus sungguh

Nasib Tuk-Tuk dah standby depan hotel so negotiate harga dulu then baru naik ye. 

Di sebabkan Khlong Hae ni jauh sket dari bandar Hatyai macam KL ke Shah Alam gituh, dan kak lily nak pi 2 tempat dan siap tunggu dan hantar balik ke hotel untuk 2 orang so driver Tuk-Tuk tuh charged THB600 =RM65++ kot, oklah sebab tak share dengan orang lain. So bayar sajor. 

Itulah untunglah pi ramai-ramai banyak jimat kan hehehe

jalan nak ke Pasar terapung, banyak jugak dugaan ni tau

ok kena lintas jambatan ni

ok nampak tak? banyak tuh

Kitorang sampai just nice, Khlong Hae Floating Market ni baru je bukak, ya ampun sekali lagi orang Malaysia memang ramai dah macam rasa kat Chow Kit je ni hhehehhhee

Jalan slow-slow cuci mata dulu apa nak makan then baru beli. Tapi tak delah beria-beria ktorang melantak pun juga rasa-rasa je. Seronok gak membeli belah kat sampan ni, unik.

beli ice cream ni sebab nak mangkuk lesung batu tuh hehehe THB30 je

Mehlah beli apa yang nak di makan ek

Lepas beli-beli tuh, naik makan kat atas sebab ada banyak kerusi meja so proper sket nak makan tak delah berebut-rebut kat sebelah bawah tuh. Rupanya kat sebelah atas ni, lagi banyak makanan yang sedap-sedap dan tak payah nak berimpit-impit pun hehehehee

beli sebab nak bekas cantik je tuh hehehee

bahagia dapat makan

soft shell crab THB100 = RM11 je cam tuh seplastik, banyak gak tuh

Laksa Thai, unik sedap bak hang!!

Harga makanan tak delah mahal pun, harga runcit-runcit je ni. Sepinggan RM3, RM5, RM10 hah gituh-gituh je. Kalau beli baju pun still murah gak tapi kak lily takde size so memang tak beli apa-apa lah. 

Lepak kat area pasar terapung ni mau 2 jam cam tuh, yelah lah leka makan, leka tengok gelagat orang Malaysia yang makan kann hahahah seronoklah.

lengkap semua ada ek

sebelah atas ni, banyak kedai-kedai

souvenir sini murah dari kat bandar Hatyai katanya

Kat sebelah atas ni, macam bazaar cam tuh lah. Banyak kedai jual baju, souvenir, makan-makan kering dan memacam lagi lah. Kak lily cuci mata je sebab takde apa nak beli pun hah.

rasa nak beli semuanyalah sebab murah

Tapi sebelum balik tuh sempat pi kedai yang jual bekas tembikar tanah liat tuh, ya ampun ko murah bebenau boleh pitam di buatnya. Terus kak lily beli mangkuk sambal belacan ni, beli sampai 7 pulak tuh ntah apa nak dibuat pun ntahlah kann hahahhaa tapi murah 7mangkuk tuh dalam THB100 je lepas diskaun. 

Ini tempatnya :

Khlong Hae Floating Market
Hatyai River,
Hatyai District, Songkhla
Thailand

By the way, Khlong Hae floating market ni hanya di buka pada hujung minggu iaitu Jumaat sampai Ahad so kalau korang datang hari lain tutuplah tempat wei hehehehe so jangan salah hari ye, akak dah bagitau ni tau.

GCH RETAIL DISTRIBUTION CENTRE

Hello Everyone,

Malaysia’s Largest Supermarket and Hypermarket Operator, GCH Retail (M) Sdn Bhd, is raising the standard of Freshness in consumer food expectations with the official opening of its RM116 million fresh distribution centre here today. GCH Retail operates GIANT, COLD STORAGE, JASON’S FOOD HALL and MERCATO’S stores, the only one with presence in every state in the country today.

“For over 70 years we have been committed to bringing innovative, value driven, fresh retail experiences to Malaysian consumers across the country. Today, we take that to a new level. This state of the art facility represents a part of our continuing financial commitment, and support at an organisational level to the idea of Freshness in everything we do.” said GCH Retail (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd Managing Director, Pierre-Olivier Deplanck. “From getting the very best local products from farm to table; ensuring the highest standards of cleanliness at every point; and bringing consumers value in every purchase - the new distribution centre is the Gateway for Freshness for Malaysians.”

The largest fresh produce and packed goods processing, packaging and distribution centre of its kind in Malaysia, the fresh distribution centre is part of GCH Retail’s continuous commitment to ensuring that Malaysian consumers at GIANT, Cold Storage, Jason’s Food Hall, and Mercato’s have only the freshest products with the best value for their Ringgit. It focuses on energy efficient operations, rainwater harvesting, heat recovery technology, integrated and automated processes, temperature-controlled environments, and improved handling and logistics processes to improve how GCH Retail brings Malaysians the freshest food and fresh products in the country.

“We are also excited to be able to create more than 200 jobs directly in the warehousing and food processing sectors at this facility. This includes product experts and buyers, quality control professionals and a distribution team, all with the shared focus of ensuring that we bring the best products that we can, as fresh as we can, to customers. We also support more job opportunities indirectly through partnerships with local suppliers, logistics partners and vendors, allowing to actively enhance the economy of the surrounding areas almost immediately,” added Deplanck.

Located in Kajang, the facility took 12 months to build and occupies 25,000 square metres of land, with a built-up area of 10,950 square metres. Dedicated to products which fall under the fresh category, the facility procures and distributes items such as fresh fruits, vegetables, meats and seafood to store locations nationwide. The new distribution centre is more than three times the size of the current GCH operation in Balakong, making it the largest and most innovative fresh distribution centre dedicated to a single retailer in Malaysia.

“I would like to commend GCH Retail on their commitment to provide the nation greater selections for quality products whilst still focusing on providing the best value to Malaysians. With their newest facility, they are narrowing the gap between the field and stores, reaching more local producers and ensuring the freshness of produce around the country, all while providing more job opportunities to the local communities, “ said YB. Dato’ Saifuddin Nasution Bin Ismail, Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister.

The Heart of Malaysia’s Cold Chain

The distribution centre (DC) is the result of GCH Retail’s insight into the process that brings fresh produce from across the country to Malaysians every day. This labour intensive, and time sensitive process includes picking, packing and handling of a large number of fruits, vegetables, and fresh meats - every step influencing the quality of the produce. Temperature controlled facilities ensure that the freshness of produce from over 200 vendors stored at the distribution centre are constantly maintained, while the digitally enabled infrastructure of the centre, ensures round the clock monitoring for optimum efficiency.

“We operate one of the largest real time, daily supply chain operations of fresh produce in the country. This means we assume the responsibility when it comes to preserving and enhancing the quality of food that we are offering millions of Malaysians. This distribution centre is a key part of that solution as it allows us to monitor, maintain and control the temperature our fresh produce the moment it arrives at our DC and until it reaches our stores. With improved distribution conditions and enhanced processes, we hope to offer the nation even greater quality in freshness" explained Deplanck.

The Fight Against Food Waste

Being the Gateway for Freshness is more than just about helping consumers eat better - it’s also about ensuring as little food as possible is wasted.

One of the biggest national concerns, food surplus from inefficient supply chains is a challenge for supermarket and hypermarket operators alike, with 45% of all solid waste in the country being edible food waste. With up to 3,000 tonnes of food wasted each day, food surplus is also affecting the country’s economy, amounting into millions of Ringgit going into landfills and waste disposal charges - while denying Malaysians in need of much needed food.

“We have been working on solutions to this problem for several years now as it is something that concerns us deeply. One of the early approaches we used was to work with The Lost Food Project through our stores in selected location. With the launch of our newest facility, we are expanding this partnership - which first began in 2016 exponentially in the hope that it is able to help even more people while further reducing any wastage of food at our facilities,” said Deplanck.

GCH Retail has established processes to control the age, appearance and freshness of its in-store products. When products are kept beyond this period, they are then shared with The Lost Food Project to be re-distributed to those in need. These charities include homes for underprivileged children, soup kitchens for the poor and homeless, as well as those with special needs.

The launch of the fresh distribution centre (DC) is part of GCH Retail’s on-going commitment to providing Malaysian’s retail experiences that work for them. This includes reviewing and renewing the way supermarket and hypermarket shopping experiences are brought into communities, and how these then support the Malaysians around them.

Holiday Ke Hatyai 2018 | Hatyai Municipal Park – Tengok Gajah Kepala 3 (PART 5)

Hi Korang, 

Sambung lagi travelog ke Hatyai ni, korang boleh baca entry sebelum-sebelum nie k 

PART 1 - Naik Train ke Hatyai 

PART 2 - The BED Hotel 

PART 3 - Lee Plaza Garden 

PART 4 - Dimsum Chabura 

Ok ni citer hari kedua di Hatyai, lepas makan dimsum Chabura tuh hehehehe 

Sebab memang tak plan apa-apa, ramai yang suggest pi ke Hatyai Municipal Park ni kalau nak tengok keindahan bandar Hatyai ni. So kitorang terjah jelah. 

comey kat Grab kak lily, kete mahal tuh

Check dekat GRAB berapa harga ke sana kalau murah then kita pi lah. Check pun punya dalam harga THB237 untuk one way, tak yah nak booking Tuk Tuk. Tekan je button BOOK tuh terus Grab sampai, kemain cantic lagi kereta ni ek nampak Volkswagen Polo tapi bukan eh jenama MG kot. Muka budak yang bawak Grab macam YB Syed Saddiq tuh, kak lily pun sampai tenung muka dia 2-3 kali tapi sayang tak pandai cakap English so banyak guna sign language jelah. 

Perjalanan dari Chabura Dimsum ke Hatyai Municipal Park rasanya dalam 25 minit. Yelah kita kena keluar dari bandar Hatyai ni sket untuk ke puncak bukit untuk menikmati keindahan alam. Kira macam dari KLCC tuh pi Bukit Ampang LookOut Point tulah lebih kurang jaraknya. 

Ramai orang suggest baik naik Grab dari Tuk Tuk sebab kena mendaki bukit, sian plak bila tengok Tuk-Tuk naik bukit bawak ramai orang, berat je rasa nak pi memang tinggi gak bukitnya. Tapi kalau ramai-ramai naik Tuk-Tuklah bolehlah jimat kos sket tapi cam sama je alah ikut korang lah yang mana senang dan mudah. 

Once sampai je cakaplah dengan driver Grab tuh, senang ke nak dapat Grab bila nak balik nanti ? dia cakap apa ? You go I wait here, dont worry how long I wait for you. Ewah kemain lagi ek, kak lily pun ok ok je. Kata Mr Big kalau tak de Grab kita menapaklah jalan kaki kebawah ek huahauhauha 

Korang nak tau apa yang ada kat Hatyai Municipal Park nie?? 

Selain daripada pemandangan yang indah dari puncak bukit, korang boleh naik cable car ke puncak bukit lagi satu tau dan tempat ni rupanya tempat sembahyang orang-orang Buddha kat sini. 

Cable Car 

Sesampai je terus ke cable car ingatkan ramailah macam kat Langkawi tuh ermm rupanya langsung tak de orang hahahha seronoknya. Tapi jangan nak expect lelebih macam kat Langkawi lah, just sekadar nak rasa apa salahnya kan. 

THB200 = RM23++ kot 

dalam cable car

aduiyai makin lebar plak rasanya muka ni ek

Masa kitorang nak naik tuh ada plak couple sekali naik dengan kitorang, sempat interview orang Narathiwat rupanya datang ke Hatyai ni untuk sembahyang kat atas bukit tuh. Sejuk je dalam dalam cable car tuh, yelah naik ke puncak bukit kan. 

inilah dia gajah kepala 3 yang kak lily cakap tuh

Turun-turun nampak patung-patung budha kat atas ni. Ramai pulak orang tengah sembahyang tuh agaknya ada hajat kot, tup-tup nampak pulak patung gajah kepala 3 ni, terus paksa Mr Big amik gambar. Paksa wokeh hahahaha 

aduiyai double chin weiiii

cantik kan

Sebenarnya banyak patung gajah-gajah ni cuma takdelah kak lily ber gambar sangat, naik ke atas balik tengok cara diorang sembahyang. Ramai jugak yang datang mintak doa ni, siap ada yang bernazar kot sebab selang setiap minit ada orang bakar mercun cina yang panjang tuh, lepas tuh ada kertas untuk bacakan doa hehehe 

banyak loceng tau, besar ni ada lagi yang lebih besar

diorang tengok sembahyang, tak kan nak masuk plak. So tengok dari jauh je, Mr Big siap pusing ke belakang tempat sembahyang, ada penari-penari kat atas pentas ni tau

Tapi lekalah duduk kat sini, tengok budaya orang kan. 

Habis tuh kitorang turun balik ke bawah naik cable car, jalan-jalan di sekitar Park ni. Inilah masanya untuk merehat-rehat untuk lihat sendiri keindahan bandar Hatyai dari sini. 

panas mencarak ni pun sibuk nak bergambar tau, mata tak boleh bukak tuh sebab tu pakai spek hauhauahua

sempat bergambar dengan tunas puteri yang comel-comel ni, diorang ni mendaki dari bawah tau. Banyak tangga-tangga tuh

Hah itu bandar Hatyai, dari sini nampak jugak Masjid Songkhla dan Samila Beach tuh

dengan polis pun nak bergambar jugak, tapi polis-polis kat sini sporting

inilah tangga-tangga yang bebudak tunas puteri tuh panjat tadi, ada lagi bawah tuh tau. Cantik kan, bandar Hatyai.

Jangan tak caya ek, memang ramai orang kat sini wokeh walaupun tengah panas mencarak tau. Tapi disebabkan berangin so takdelah rasa panas tuh kan. Anak-anak dara dari Malaysia pun ada jugak masa ni, tengah duk lepak bawah pokok melihat pemandangan indah Hatyai, sebab apa kak lily boleh tau sebad dioarang cakap melayu asyik-asyik jom selfie, jom selfie ka hehehhehe...

Lama jugak ktorang duduk kat sini, alah sesaje kan. Tak de apa nak buat. Tengok gelagat pelancong yang datang seronoklah. 

dalam Grab Syed Saddiq ni ek, turun bukit laju tuh

Dalam pukul 12 lebih cam tuh ktorang turun balik ke area parking tuh. Baru nak bukak Grab tetiba Mr Big cakap driver Grab yang tadi tuhlah. Terus kitorang ke kereta dia, dan tanya cam ne nak kira balik ke hotel ni. Dia cakap apa? You check how much the Grab charge then you pay me, but don’t click booking. Hah bagus kan!! So tambang balik ke hotel hanya THB250 je = RM27++ cam tuh. 

on the way balik hotel, ternampak ni. Banyak jugak universiti kat Hatyai ni lah

Hah terus naik kereta then balik ke hotel hehhehe 

Sebelum naik singgah 7-11 dulu untuk cuci mata tengok apa yang ada, ya ampun bila punah poket bila macam-macam menda nak dibeli di 7-11 Thailand ni. Susu pisang meiji, maggie tomyam kaw-kaw, mask muka, granola instant ermm memacam sungguh lah kan. 

ini salah satu cara untuk jimatkan duit belanja kat sana dengan gunakan Grab Rent, kira korang booking Grab untuk sepanjang hari ke lokasi-lokasi perlancongan kat dalam flyer tuh. Oklah harganya kalau berempat jimat banyak tuh

Ok settle PART 5, nanti ada lagi PART-PART yang seterusnya.
