Learnt a new French word today...ordis or ordinateurs for computers.This is one of the beauties of blogging. You'll get to know foreign terms once in a while. Maybe I should learn more french words for fun...and because I think french words sound sexy...he..he...
While searching for latest photos we had, I remembered that I haven't yet blogged about our experience to Hatyai's Idea Market. It's a weekly market held in the 2nd floor shopping of Lee Gardens Hotel. Most of the traders here comprises of teenagers and young adults. These young minds adds to the refreshing burst of creativity and difference in the products and craft sold here.
First stop was at sweet's displays discovered by Hyzyd. The vendor enjoys Hyzyd pointing and reading letters after letters. These are homemade chocolates and we bought three for Hyzyd with the letters F,O,X. I find it expensive because each is priced 12 baht ($0.39). It's tastes like Hershey chocolate! It melts in the mouth, not in your hands...same with M & M! I just popped letter F today while writing this to give you a detailed description of how it taste..he..he...
If you want some very artistic and colorful wooden jars, you can have one for 220 baht and exquisite and cultured photo frames for 250 baht. Put them in your living room and they'll not fail you to make an impression to your guests.
How about a dainty designs for your personalized bag/purse tags? You can have one and one for your bestfriend/girlfriend/boyfriend to keep. It works like the couples necklace sets. Only it's a cheaper way to signify your love but I find it very unique, beautiful and meaningful. Perfect choice for couples and lovers.
These keyholders remind me of BioShock 2 Big Daddy plush dolls. Weird but awesome design!
Check out their art gallery. You could even let them paint your portrait for 400 baht!
Vintage cars for 2,000-3000+ baht..worth collecting!
Papier-mâché rocks!Reminds me of my elementary art subject. These cute papier-mâché animal figurines on table make your living room lively!

I love the idea of owning one of these customized footwears. Just imagine having different from the "off the rack" styles! I never thought that custom sneakers could be this hot!

Hi I am from Malaysia. I just came back from Hat Yai this early morning. I wanted to get a pair of hand painted personalised shoes yesterday but I didn't have enough time to wait for the shoes to be done so I had to cancel the booking. I am wondering if you could help me to get the contact of the artist? I only could remember that his name is Bird. I wanted to buy shoes from him so much. I sincerely need your help in this. I tried to find him from facebook but I can't read Thai. Can you please help me on this? Thank you very much.
Hi Jiok,
I'm also a foreigner on this land so as much as I want to help you, I can't because I also don't know how to communicate in Thai:(..so sorry...
Hmm... Probably you can help me to ask him for his contact number when you happen to drop by Idea Market in the future? He can speak basic English actually.
Anyway, I am really glad that you replied! Was kinda worried that I would scare you. Haha!
THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH!!! =)
Hi Jiok,
Are you the same Jiok who followed me on twitter? I could tweet you his number once I visited the Idea market again:)
No, you didn't scare me. I'm glad to be of help to you. Happy New year!
yes yes! the same Jiok. In fact, my name is Jiok Sin.. haha..
Thank you very much!!!! Really appreciate your help!!
