有时，来一趟没有策划的小旅行，其实也是不错滴．这次，我来到了黑木山，正准备过境去到泰国的合艾．我们没有包车，也没有预定酒店。

| In front of Malaysian Custom 在马来西亚关卡前 |
It takes around one hour to reach Hatyai from the custom. The rental of the luxury van costs only 80０Thai Baht
过了大马的关卡，没有包车的我们就在两国关卡的中间徘徊，等待泰国德士的招揽．等了大约５分钟，终于有人发现了我们，我们付了小费以后，他帮我们招来了一辆十人座车．我们的司机是＂史瑞克"。
从泰国边境出发到合艾大约要一小时的路程，一辆豪华十人座车，费用只须８００泰铢。

##他的名字不是史瑞克，只是我们觉得他长的像罢了
The driver helped us to settle our accommodation issue, he brought us to Golden Crown Plaza Hotel, which is clean, nice and with reasonable rate.
我们的司机先生帮我们搞定了我们的住宿，帮我们找了一间价格便宜，环境舒适．干净的酒店。

As a foreigner, you will be charged a higher price compared to a local. A bowl of rice would cost a foreigner 45 Thai Baht while locals could get it with only 30 Thai Baht.
No worries, the extra charge is still considered reasonable.
不一样的收费
在合艾，商家会对外国人和当地人收取不一样的收费，好比说：一碗饭给当地人的收费是３０泰铢，给外国人的收费却是４５泰铢。
虽然对外国人的收费会比较贵，但是价格还是合理的。

Bargaining is a must action in Hatyai, as a smart customer, you may also compare prices with few different stalls.However, time could be more precious.
精明消费
在当地有许多小摊子，每个摊子的货品售卖价格都不一样，所以杀价是不可避免的。身为精明的消费者的你，你也可以选择货比三家。其实货品的价格都不会相差太远，不用为了那２０，３０泰铢而浪费你的时间。

There is quite a number of Chinese in Hatyai.Most of the younger generation has lost the ability to communicate in chinese, but the older generation is still able to speak Hokkien or Mandarin.
The local chinese may assist you in translation if you are not able to communicate with Thai.
当地华人在合艾有不少华人，但是年轻一辈的通常都不会用中文沟通了，老一辈的通常都能用福建话或华语沟通。
当你和当地泰国人沟通不到时，当地的华人可能帮的上忙，当你的翻译。

I refer "weird" to the taste of the foods, which is not so suitable for Malaysians. Taufu fa is a common food for Malaysians, but the Hatyai version Taufu fa comes with heavy ginger taste, which is very weird for Malaysians.
However, we should always try the local foods when we visit to somewhere. Of course, some foods in Hatyai are very delicious and suitable for Malaysians.
奇奇怪怪的食物
我说奇怪的意思是说这里的食物不太符合马来西亚人的口味。这里有些食物对你来说其实不陌生，就好像豆腐花，糕点等。。。但是这些食物都已经融入了当地的味道，所以你吃的那碗豆腐花会有超浓的姜味。。。你吃的那碗面，可能有莫名其妙的酸味。。。
但是，既然来到了这里，就应该尝试一下当地的食物。当然，有些食物也是合马来西亚人的味口的。

Shopping Fun
Visitors always shop clothes, bags, snacks, shoes, and accessories here...
Most of the clothes and bags here are not so suitable for youngsters. Those youngster clothes that are available in Hatyai are brought from Bangkok and are much cheaper in Bangkok.
Snacks, shoes, accessories are still worth to be seen.
购物乐
在这里，你可以看到衣服，包包，零食，鞋子，饰品等等。。。
这里大部分的衣服和包包都不太适合年轻人，但是也有几间商店是适合年轻人的。一件Ｔ恤大约在３００泰铢以内。（如果你有去曼谷的计划的话，那就别在合艾买了，因为过后我去曼谷找到了同样的衣服，而且价格便宜一半。）
零食，鞋子，饰品等还是值得我们一看的。

Food, I prefer Betong
Shopping, I prefer Bangkok
Anyway, Hatyai is still worth for you to explore and gain your sight....
比起食物，我还是比较喜欢勿洞
比起购物，我还是比较喜欢曼谷
无论如何，合艾，还是值的让你去探索的。。。
