Frog Tuk Tuk of Trang • Ride Back to 1960s in Vintage Daihatsu Midget
Tuk tuks are found throughout Thailand - these tiny open sided three wheelers are holding their own despite the ubiquitous comfortable air conditioned taxis.
Tuk tuks are not even cheaper - they do not run on meters and so can actually be more expensive than a modern taxi ride.

When we arrived at Koh Ngai Camping Seafood in Trang, it was already dark and it was raining ☔ The restaurant was located along Nang Noi river but we couldn't sit riverside because of the rain. We were full and tired from a whole day of tastings and travelling since dawn.
Wasn't looking forward to the lot of dishes we needed to plough through at Koh Ngai but at the end of the dinner, we all agreed that the food was nice and Koh Ngai Camping Seafood was a good restaurant. We started a bit gloomy but left in high spirits and happy 😄

Thai Trang Style Breakfast @ Phong Ocha Dim Sum Branch 1 in South Thailand ร้านพงษ์โอชา 1
One of the things I realised from this trip to southern Thailand was this place has great dim sum! Dim sum, of course, is a Guangdong / Hong Kong thing but the Thais have taken the ball and ran with it.
I mean dim sum here is so creative, innovative, and delicious yet preserves the core tradition of yum cha in its own unique way. Thai style dim sum is a must when you come to south Thailand.

Kiat Fang Famous Pork Bun, Roast & Stew Rice • Must Try in Songkhla Old Town พ พฤร้าน เกียดฟั่ง พ พฤ
✍29 Sep 2024. Heard a lot about Songkhla city but visiting it for the first time. It left a deep impression, I love it. I mean cities everywhere are developing very fast with cafes, highways, hotels, condos, popping up but here in Songkhla city, I can still see traces of the old city that reminded me of my childhood in Singapore.

Cook Chai Dim Sum 2 by Cook Joss in Hatyai • กุ๊กชัยติ่มซำ2-By Cook Joss
The surprise food find for me from my recent south Thailand trip was.... dim sum 🤔 Thais love their dim sum and they are good at it.
Truth be told, dim sum is not top of my mind when I am in Singapore - good dim sum is expensive, average dim sum are factory made 😅
Rediscover South Thailand Food & Attractions Itinerary • Hatyai Trang Phatthalung Songkhla
We spent a most fascinating five days touring the southern Thailand region, visiting the cities of Hatyai and Songkhla, as well as Phatthalung and Trang provinces.
Hatyai was the first city in Thailand I ever visited over forty years ago while Trang and Phatthalung were totally new to me. (Come to think of it, Hatyai was the first "international" trip I went on after getting my "international passport".)

Charcoal Fish Head Steamboat @ Lee Kwang Kee Teochew Cuisine 212 Toa Payoh 鱼头炉 • 李广记潮州菜馆
I love soups, so I love steamboats but I don't enjoy those with too much ingredients as these make me busy cooking and so is not very relaxing 😂
Hence, I prefer fish head steamboat 鱼头炉, especially the relatively uncomplicated types like Lee Kwang Kee 李广记 at HDB block 212 Toa Payoh lorong 8.
