For a great country like China, the demand for tourism is still considerable. More and more tourists are very willing to go abroad to learn about different cultures and different humanistic customs. With the changes in Sino-Japanese and Sino-Korean relations, Thailand, which is close to China, has benefited the most.
In recent years, people's enthusiasm for traveling to Thailand is increasing, but few people have extended their tentacles to cities in the south.
southern Thailand is like a neglected corner. Hoai is a popular city in the south.
It is close to the Gulf of Thailand and the Straits of Malacca, and its superior geographical position makes it an important transportation zone. A large number of tourists are transported to various destinations every day.
For example, take a boat to Pak
Bara Pier in Hat Yai, and then transfer to Libei Island; Or take a transnational train to neighboring Malaysia; Or fly to Singapore at the international airport; Or take a bus at the bus station to Bangkok and other cities in Thailand.
The transportation mode extending in all directions makes many people think that this place is just a transit station.
what is Thailand in your mind?
In the early morning, I met a monk who gave alms on the road, a water market with a strong flavor of life, a strange and diverse Buddhist temple, a pure primitive natural ecology and a lively market at night.
There are many typical Thai characteristics, including He Ai. Part1 Market
Market with a strong flavor of life
There are many ways to play in strange cities. Some people want to sleep until they wake up naturally, and they go out for food at noon. Some people want to live like a local, and go to the market in the morning to feel the atmosphere of foreign life.
In Thailand, the floating market is an indispensable destination. In He Ai is no exception.
KlongHaeFloatingMarket
The Chinese translation of "Ancient Lobster Floating Market" here sounds very pleasant, but it has nothing to do with lobster, and it is purely transliteration.
It is claimed to be the only floating market in southern Thailand.
every time the market opens, there are lively trading scenes everywhere. The store is very busy, collecting money and delivering goods. The gradually congested river has become an interesting landscape.
But there are not many stalls on the river. The stalls on both sides of the river sell everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to daily necessities. The only drawback is that it is about 2 kilometers away from the city, and the traffic is not convenient enough. Chartered car is the most practical way.
The water market, located on the riverside in the suburbs, attracts more tourists.
so, where do local residents go?
KimYongMarket
In many strategies about HiAi, the Jin Rong market ranks at the top of the must-see list.
taking the market as a scenic spot, it is also special here.
in the vegetable market located in the city center, the high price of vegetables is an inevitable result. Locals call this a "vegetable market for the rich".
There is no bright spot in the decoration of this market. As usual, the two-story building has the main body, fresh fruits and vegetables are sold downstairs, all kinds of snacks are arranged in a row, and there are lively seafood, while the daily necessities such as clothing, shoes and bags are sold upstairs.
interestingly, there are two temples near this market. When foraging in the market in the morning, you may meet a monk who gives alms on the road.
There are also many stalls in the market selling packaged food, including cooked food or dry food, which is convenient for people to give alms.
the market says it's big or small, but if you turn a few more corners in it, you may get lost. Therefore, pay more attention to the stalls that pass by, and if you can't find the exit, you can ask the enthusiastic stall owner for directions. Part2 temples
various characteristic temples
Thailand is a Buddhist country with countless temples. However, in the Buddhist temples in He 'ai, the number is not large, but each shape is well-known.
WatHatYaiNai
This is the largest temple in Ha 'ai.
from the appearance, the temple here is just an ordinary Thai style, but it contains Gankun.
In the Buddhist temple, there is a reclining Buddha with a length of 35 meters, a height of 15 meters and a width of 1 meters. The third largest reclining Buddha in the world is talking about him.
StandingGolden Buddatemple
The Buddha statue, which is about 2 meters high, becomes glittering under the sunlight, especially with the blue sky as the background, which is particularly solemn.
The main body of the temple is divided into two sides of the Buddha statue, and the Buddha statue standing in the center of the building is particularly eye-catching, hence the name "Standing Buddha Temple".
bodhisatvakwanyin
The all-white appearance symbolizes the purity of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Everyone who sees the Bodhisattva statue will show reverence.
Walking up the trail and reaching the seat of the Bodhisattva statue, the scenery in front of you suddenly becomes wider.
If you wander around the Guanyin statue, you will be surprised if you are not careful, and you will see the smiling Buddha and the Jade Emperor at the corner. These are all familiar to us. However, it was the first time I saw these things in my own country in a foreign country, and all of a sudden the inexplicable goodwill of this place doubled, perhaps because of the same belief, or because of the throbbing of meeting my confidant in a foreign country, and I fell in love with it instantly anyway.
The temple here is built on the mountain, and the giant Buddha with the blue sky as the background looks down on and protects the whole Ai, so there are still many people and tourists who come here to pay homage. Part3 original ecology
original ecological landscape
This small town in southern Thailand has not been disturbed and polluted too much, so the surrounding natural landscape remains the original appearance.
Take this place for example:
Tone-Nga-ChangWaterfall
Waterfalls with abundant water always give people a cool feeling, whether it is hot summer or cold winter.
it's quite famous, and it's called the most spectacular waterfall in southern Thailand.
But this waterfall can only be seen from a distance, not climbed. The rock surface is so slippery that it will slip if you are not careful. If you want to challenge the waterfall, you must take safety measures before climbing.
The whole waterfall is divided into seven sections and pours down from the top. It is said that the third section is the most spectacular one, with clear and transparent water columns forming natural waterfalls.
It is also called Ivory Waterfall, so it is named because the water columns on both sides are shaped like two ivory. (It takes a lot of imagination to see that it is ivory. Part4 Sightseeing Night Market
Busy Sightseeing Night Market
At night, the night market is a good place for people to relax. After a full meal, make an appointment with friends and relatives, go for a walk in the night market together, and by the way, Taobao.
There are two most famous night markets in Ha 'ai.
AseanNightBazaar
This is the largest night market in the town. Every shop is closely and orderly arranged together. Roughly counting, there are about 1 shops.
every store sells different products, from clothes and shoes to snacks and delicious food, which can satisfy your shopping desire and make your taste buds fresh.
GreenwayNightBazaar
Although this night market is not as large as the former, you can find some useful second-hand goods here at a very low price.
There are also a wide variety of goods to choose from, which is simply torture for people with difficulty in choosing.
Packaged Tainan snacks can be seen everywhere, especially when it is hot, and the fragrance wafts around, which makes passers-by stop to taste.
this small town in southern Thailand is not amazing, but it conforms to your initial impression of Thai cities.
if you come to visit specially, you may be disappointed. If you just need to transit in Hoai, then you might as well spend some time and walk around, which can be regarded as an adaptation period for your body and mind on the road.
I was thinking that if I hadn't turned around in Ha Ai once, maybe I would never have come to this place, missed these beautiful scenery and missed this place. This time, I'm glad that I came, which can give you a different impression of Thailand. If you don't have much time and want to visit here, then this place is the most suitable for you.
