Streets of Hat Yai

I have heard of the streets of San Francisco and the streets of London; the former I've seen in the American TV series starring Karl Malden and Michael Douglas and the latter is the name of a hit song by Ralph McTel. Streets of Hat Yai? ; well, I 've walked through it numerous time and love every minute of it. Thailand being a hot tropical country means walking down the street could be torturous. The streets may be hot, humid and dusty and you'd have to sweat it through. But in the morning when the weather is cooler, it can also be bustling with activities when locals and tourists alike ply the streets to hunt for food and bargains. To me, it is sheer pleasure watching the  people and the wares - big, big juicy fruits, flowers all wreathed up and traditional food, sometimes colourful, sometimes tempting. In the streets of Hat Yai, one doesn't have to shop to be pleased!
