Had Nasi Lemak breakfast at one of the Pattani restaurant around the Ao Nang Muslim Street. Bought a few packs of sweet pulut pagi for the road. Met Mr. Raqib Yakob, a postman in Krabi. With his help we entered the compound of Masjid Ao Nang al-Munuawarah and took some photo shots.

We made another stop at a PTT in Phatthalung then continued our journey to Hatyai. Along the Phetkasem route 4 highway there is a Nora Sculpture Park with colourful sculptures of Manorah dancers lined up in a row in different dance moves. Manorah or Norah is a traditional dance that has been inherited for a long time in the southern provincial area of Thailand.
