3 days and 2 nights in the pink city of Pattani with 10 check-in points.

A land that many people only know through hearsay.

Today, #ฅนชอบเที่ยว has received a great opportunity from the "Chuen Jai Thailand" program on Amarin 34 channel to travel to Pattani, one of the three southern border provinces that we have never experienced. With interesting tourist attractions in terms of culture, language, religion, way of life, and nature like Bang Pu Pattani, the charm of the mangrove forest that is complete. And all this at the "end of the ax handle" of our Siam.

Looking back before the trip to Pattani, the first feeling I had when I was invited to join the trip to Pattani was a little surprised. I wondered if it was really possible to travel there. What was there to see?

And what about all the news we've seen and heard?

And in the end, we made it here.

Journey Begins

We woke up early, at 3:30 AM, excited for our trip to Pattani. We flew with Nok Air from Bangkok to Hat Yai on the earliest flight at 6:00 AM. We were extremely tired, having barely slept due to our excitement. After checking in and dropping off our luggage, we grabbed a bite to eat at 7-Eleven.

The early morning flight was great, with beautiful views. However, I was very sleepy. 555+


I love the view so much.

#RefreshingBirdDrinkingWater

Arrived at "Hat Yai" airport at 7:25 AM.

After landing in Hat Yai, we took a van to Pattani city.

It took about 1.30 hours to get to the car rental shop, C Sea Siam Travel, where we picked up our pre-booked sedan.

The Perfect Dim Sum Stop After Signing the Contract

After finalizing the contract, my stomach started to rumble. The car rental agency recommended a dim sum restaurant across the street, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. As someone who always starts my southern trips with dim sum, this was a delightful surprise.

Stop 1: Peng But Teeym Dim Sum Restaurant

Map: https://goo.gl/maps/NAAmTohZPa12

Located right across from the car rental agency, Peng But Teeym was conveniently close. Interestingly, "Peng" happens to be my name, making the experience even more serendipitous.

This is Mr. Peng, the owner of the shop.

Choose any basket for only 20 baht each.


And... I highly recommend these two dishes, they are delicious!!

You must eat them together, pork bone + steamed sticky rice. I think the taste of the rice is similar to bak chang.


Point 2 | Group making Kapi Yaeh hats

Here, we can observe the traditional craft of making "Kopiyah" hats, a headwear worn by Muslim men. Initially, the production was limited to family circles. However, as expertise grew, the knowledge was shared with interested villagers, leading to the formation of a dedicated group. Tourists eager to witness the hat-making process are welcome to visit the group any day. They warmly welcome all visitors.

After visiting the Yaring Palace, we continued our journey to the #Seafish Cracker Group. Normally, we just eat, eat, eat, but we don't know the process of making it. So today we have to stop by here for a bit. From talking to the villagers in this group, they told us that this seafish cracker group is the largest in the South.

After the rice crackers have been cut into even slices, they are then transferred to the drying room.

This school is very expensive.

They said it was edible even without frying, so I had a taste. Wow! It's delicious and crunchy.

A final memory before leaving.

Or Laem Pho, a captivating sandbar formation extending into the sea, resembles a majestic beak. This idyllic spot serves as a haven for relaxation in Pattani, offering breathtaking views and unique photographic opportunities for capturing the essence of Pattani's stunning coastline.


The final stop of the day. After watching the rice cracker making, we rushed here immediately because the sun was about to set. It's a bit of a pity that the sky wasn't very clear today, but the atmosphere was still okay. The cool breeze was blowing, and we sat listening to the sound of the waves...

Point 6: Pattani Central Mosque

The center for religious activities of Thai Muslims in the southern region, designed with beautiful and distinctive architecture, is also one of the most important religious sites for Muslims in the south.

Day 2: In the morning, we traveled to the central mosque of the province, which is another highlight of Pattani city. The weather was perfect.



Point 7: Kru Se Mosque

The Kerisek Mosque is located on the Pattani-Narathiwat road, near the village of Kerisek, just 7 km from Pattani city. The mosque is built in a Middle Eastern style with round columns made of brick and plaster. The most important part of the mosque is the dome, which is still unfinished. Legend has it that the mosque was cursed by the spirit of Lim Ko Niao, who prevented its completion. The nearby tomb of Lim Ko Niao is believed to be the source of the curse. The mosque is believed to have been built during the reign of King Naresuan the Great (1590-1605).

It's time to get a foot massage.

Here's a natural foot massage: stepping on stilt roots, a truly comfortable experience for your feet.

While getting a foot massage, Pojjeseng mentioned that during low tide, we can see clams.

And then they searched for it... searched... searched...

Has anyone seen the clams?

Found a giant clam! It's huge!


Finally, I would like to thank Pojisei for sharing their knowledge and laughter with us.

Point 10: Lim Ko Niao Shrine

Our journey has reached its final destination. Of course, what is indispensable on this trip is the ancient shrine that has been a symbol of Pattani since ancient times. If you come to Pattani, don't miss it.

Make a wish...

Good morning! Last night, we stayed at #BaanMaiRimTalay, located on Ta Lo Samila Beach, Laem Ta Chi.

Note: I have translated the sentence into English while maintaining the original tone and style. I have also included the hashtags and location information.

Another charm of this place is that no matter where you go in Pattani, you will encounter goats walking along the road.^^


Before heading back, we stopped by the Kim Yong Market in Hat Yai.

Of course, when you come to Hat Yai, you must not miss

Hat Yai fried chicken. Just kidding, haha!
