🛶 Khlong Hae Floating Market: A Backpacker’s Guide to Food & Fun!

#hatyaiattractions I spent 2 delicious hours at Khlong Hae Floating Market, and here’s why you’ll love it too: Why Visit? ✅ Unique floating stalls – Eat from boats like a local! ✅ Cheap & tasty street food – Dishes from 20฿ 🍢 ✅ Vibrant atmosphere – Music, lights, and happy crowds 🎶 ✅ Great photo ops – Colorful boats & neon signs 📸 ✅ Only open weekends (Fri-Sun 3-9 PM) – Special weekend vibes! My Safety Tips ⚠️ Cash only – Most stalls don’t take cards 💵 ⚠️ Watch your step – Slippery walkways near boats! ⚠️ Bargain gently – Some souvenirs can be haggled (but food prices are fixed) ⚠️ Try shared tables – Meet other travelers! Must-Try Foods 1️⃣ Grilled squid (50฿) – Fresh & smoky 🦑 2️⃣ Khanom buang (30฿) – Crispy Thai “tacos” 🌮 3️⃣ Coconut ice cream (40฿) – Served in a shell 🥥 4️⃣ Oyster omelet (60฿) – Gooey & crispy perfection Perfect for: An early dinner (come before 6 PM to beat crowds!). Stay 1-2 hours to eat, snap pics, and soak in the lively scene. Pro Tip: Pair this with Hat Yai Municipal Park (just 15 mins away) for the ultimate afternoon-to-evening adventure! 🌅➡️🌃
