A traveller's reflection: 2018 Betong to Hatyai 4x4 Trip: 05 Ban Pru Floating Market

My Travel Journal

"There isn't much I haven't shared with you along the road and through it all there'd always be tomorrow's episode" - Elton John

I started traveling around the world since early 80s when I had the opportunity to combine business trips with vacations. Then later when my rezeki is in abundance, there were numerous other trips along the way for vacations, most of the time with hubby and the kids when the timing is right. I have also started to compile the journal and photo-pages covering almost more than 45 years of world wide travel. Some destinations I visited just once, others many times. Many of those places are the obvious famous places people would like to visit but some, the casual traveler doesn't even think to try. I have placed links to my travel at the side bar of my personal page, My Life Reflections, and will be updating them from time to time.

My wish is to continue my travel and complete circumnavigate the globe, insyaAllah…

2018 Betong to Hatyai 4x4 Trip: 05 Ban Pru Floating Market

"Never regret a day in your life. Good days give you happiness and bad days give you experience..."

(A new Floating Market near Hatyai)

Ban Pru Floating Market

Thailand is the land where floating market is famous. Almost every city in Thailand has their own floating market.

In Hatyai there is the famous Khlong Hae Floating Market. An alternative to Khlong Hae Floating Market is the new Ban Pru Floating Market, approximately 14km from Hat Yai city. This market opens on Saturday evening from 4 pm to 10 pm.

Here you will have the opportunity to taste the mouth-watering street food and delve into various activities like boat riding, archery and so on. At night the area lightens up and you will see people swarming around the seafood and noodles stalls. Other activities at Ban Pru Floating Market are flying fox and Big Balloon Playground in which the kids can feed the baby goat kids too.
