農曆三月二十四

《辛卯年。壬辰月。辛亥日》  

    26-4-2011 Tuesday

We reserve two of 8am van ticket to Hatyai ( At Northern of Malaysia, people used to go Thailand with Van instead of Bus), it is too early, rushing, but the driver was late, he arrive on 830am, we wait him at Seberang Jaya, Caltex Petrol station where nearby Pearl Hotel, the van only depart on 845am after he transfer something to people. The ticket is RM30 for each seat.

我們訂了八點的貨車（在北馬，通常人們都是坐貨車去泰國游完，而不是做巴士），很趕，但那個人遲到了，大約八點半才到，在斯佈朗再也的Caltex油站（珍珠酒店附近）上車，八點四十五分才出發。這樣子一趟一個人需付馬幣三十。

Changlun, which is Border town of Kedah state.  There is a Collage Matriculation nearby this town, which is QingEr's school last time.

這裡是吉打州的邊沿城市，樟侖。晴兒在讀大學之前就是在這裡的預科學院。

We arrive border of Malaysia on 11am, Driver stop us at a food court for simple meal, toilet, filling the departure card and immigration card.  Service charge RM2.00.  You can exchange money here, the rate here is acceptable.  We depart to border of Thailand after 15 minute.

在十一點左右我們到了馬來西亞的邊界，司機把我們放在一個小販中心，讓我們吃點東西，上厠所，填寫白卡（出入境事務卡），一人需給馬幣兩零吉。你可以在這裡換泰銖，兌換率不高，我們在十五分鐘后再出發。

After 5 minutes, we arrive Malaysia Custom for the Passport Checking.

五分鐘后，我們抵達馬來西亞出境海關護照檢查處。

Within a fews minutes, we arrive Custom of Thailand, need to go through passport checking again, and taking portrait picture. No much people in queue, all passenger done all procedures in 10 minutes.  The time now is 1135am.
經過幾分鈡的時間，我們抵達泰國的海關檢查處，讓官方檢查護照，快速拍了張個人照。這天過關的人不多，整車的人在十分鈡之内就完成手續。現在的時間是十一點三十五分。

After border, we change our time to Thailand time, 1 hour early than Malaysia (UTC +7:00).  Time become 1035am,  earning 1 hour.
過了邊界，我們把時間轉成泰國時間，比馬來西亞早一個鐘頭（UTC +7:00）。現在的時間變成十點三十五分。

Town at border of Thailand.  It taken about another 1 hour and 30 min to arrive Hatyai from Border.

泰國邊界的市鎮。我們還需要大約另外一小時三十分鐘去合艾。

The hotel we stay is Grand Plaze, located at the center of the Hatyai's city, the night market of Hatyai is just several step away from the Hotel.

 我們住的酒店是Grand Plaza，在合艾市中心，一出去就是合艾夜市。

7-11 Convenience stores is everywhere, I guess it can be another 7-11 store in 100 steps.  So, if you want find people or asking location, you must make sure you not using 7-11 store as a landmark.

到處都是7-11便利店，我覺得一百步裏一定還有另一閒7-11便利店，所以在這裡有找人，問地標，千萬別採用7-11便利店。

The street's electric cable here are a lots, and look untidy.

這裡街邊的電纜都很多而且看起來很亂。

Malay restaurant is foreign restaurant, it look very high class here. 

馬來餐廳在這裡是外國人的餐廳，是高級餐廳。

Super spicy, hot veggie Tomyam soup.

 超辣的素食東炎湯。

The private taxi driver hard sell his package on the street.  His name, Ah Run, drive turbo car as his taxi here, if you wanna visit far places(such as Simila Beach, Mermaid, Communist Camp ) and to save time, he is the one. But quite expensive as compare to tuk tuk car (Public Transport in Thailand).

這個私家司機佬在街上拼命推銷他的服務。他名叫阿論，是這裡的跑車司機，如果你要去很遠的旅遊景點（看美人魚像，共產黨軍營），要快速去玩全部地方的話，你可以找他。當然包車（又是跑車）價錢是蠻高的，如果比起突突車（泰國的公共交通）的話。

Ah Run's contact.

阿論的名卡。

We going Travel agent shop to browse the picture of the attracting places, SongKhala Beach, Mermaid statue, Communist army camp, Bottle Temple, Four Face Buddha, GuanYin Temple, Sleeping Buddha temple, Standing buddha Temple, Ice dome...floating market only available on Friday and weekend, we miss it.

去旅行社看看我們要去哪裏，有SongKhala海邊的美人魚像，共產黨軍營，玻璃管佛廟，四面佛，觀音廟，睡佛廟，站佛廟，冰房等,...水上市場只有在星期五和周末才有，我們錯過了。

After shopping, we go to do the Thai Massage, 200batt one hour for each person.

 過後我們去做泰式古方按摩，一人泰銖兩百塊一個小時。

If you wearing a tight pants, such as Jean, or skirt, they will request you to change to the wide pants which prepare by them.  To do this massage, you need to remove your ring, spectacles, earning, necklace. 

如果你是穿緊身褲，裙的話，他們會要求你換上他們準備的寬寬的褲。

After Massage, all of your body muscle will be released, and tiredness will gone, and you will be serve one hot tea.

按摩過後，全身的肌肉都被放鬆了，疲累也不見了，店裏通常都會為你準備一杯熱茶。

Actually the massage service here is very cheap, if you come here to travel, you must try it.

其實這裡的按摩很便宜，在這裡旅遊的話應該來嘗試。

Seafood, fruit sell on the street.

街邊賣水果，海鮮。

Fresh Coconut 30batt, remember choose only the coconut which have skin, because only coconut which with the skin allow you to differentiate how old is it, for those "un-skined" coconut can keep for very long period, it is not longer fresh.  

喝椰水泰銖三十塊，記得喝椰水要選看到皮的，因爲有皮的椰子才會讓人看出椰子是否放了很久，那些沒有皮的，想必已經被放了很久。

Buying tradition pillow and two seat cushion.

買了一個古代枕頭和兩個坐墊。

Snack, peanuts, bean, durian cake, chestnuts which fried with coffee bean, sour plum, seeds...

小食，花生，豆，榴蓮糕，咖啡炒栗子，酸梅，瓜子。。。

The shop here so old.

這裡的店很舊。

A lots of pirate beg sold here.

很多翻版的包包在此出售。

Almost every shop here carry same model of products, if you want the lowest price, you need to asking the price of particular product from one shop to another one, and then go to the lowest one asking for discount again.

差不多每一閒店都買同樣的貨品，要得到最好的價錢的話，你就一閒一閒去問你想要買的貨品，在價格最低的那一家再殺價。

I think these bikes is for rent one.

我覺得這些機車是租給遊客的。

Hawker Stall.

大排檔

After dinner, we go back Hotel for rest, now only I told my friend I going to Hatyai via Facebook.  The Grand plaza Hotel don't have free internet access, they sold one hour internet access for 20batt.

現在人在Hatyai，星期五回去。

現在才上網告訴朋友我人在國外，這閒酒店沒有免費上網服務，一小時的上網需要泰銖二十塊。

730pm we start looking the way to go Thai girl show place, in this period, tuk tuk car can't go in the our hotel area, we walk along the street only we found a tuk tuk car, They charge us 100batt to fetch us to that place, we have been told the fee will be 20batt each person to go there.  So, we refuse it.

七點半，我們開始尋找方法去Thai Girl Show的地方，在這段時候，突突車不能停在我們酒店那裏，我們得走了一小段路才能找到突突車，他們說要收我們泰銖一百塊才可以載我們去，之前買票的人說一人去那裏的收費是泰銖二十而已，所以我們拒絕了。

After we show the tickets, only they agree to fetch us with 40batt.  I think that is a agreement of tuk tuk car with the Thai Girl show place.  The driver see us only have two persons, so they ask us to go with his motor bike, the bike passenger here no need to wear helmet and 3 persons riding on the bike also not a problem.

過後我們讓他們看入場卷，他們突然接受用一人泰銖二十塊載我們過去。我想這是表演當局和突突車的約定吧。他看我們只有兩人，只有機車在我們過去，這裡做機車的後面是不用戴頭盔的，三人坐一輛機車也沒有問題。

Don't know why almost every drivers and shop's staff here pushing/raising Thai Girl Show to tourists.  450batt each ticket, every night 2 show, 8pm one, and 930pm one, one show is about 1 hour.

不懂爲什麽這裡的司機，店員都向遊客們推崇泰女表演。一張票450泰銖，每一晚都有兩場表演，八點一場，九點半一場，一場一個小時。

Thai Girl show is an adult show, the show girls and mens are naked, and a lots of sexy, live sex scene, and it have some sex acrobatics performance, and it is prohibited photo and video record.  I think it is illegal show.

這場表演是絕對只適合成人觀看的表演，男女表演者都露盡五點，很多色情的畫面，性愛畫面，和色情雜技表演，這裡是無可以拍照和錄影的。我覺得這種表演應該是非法的。

After the show, we are going back hotel with 20batt each person by tuk tuk car.

過後我們也坐一人泰銖二十塊的突突車回酒店。

I believe Malaysia tourists will feel very surprise about the price of snack which sold at 7-11 store, the price is fat more cheaper and choices are a lots.

我相信很多馬來西亞的遊客有會很好奇爲什麽這裡的7-11便利店的零食這麽便宜，而且還很多選擇。
