The Thai side of Padang Besar

After some time spent in Hatyai it's time to return back to Malaysia.

But instead of returning via Bukit Kayu Hitam in Kedah where we came from we decided to exit through Padang Besar in Perlis.




However Perlis is not the only province with a town called Padang Besar. There's also a Padang Besar in Thailand and since we haven't crossed the border might as well check it out.




So here we were going around the streets of Padang Besar in Thailand.



Now this would have been a real novelty if we had come into Thailand from Perlis.




After all this side of Padang Besar has its own attractions and is known to be some sort of shopping paradise for people coming from Malaysia.





But having seen the colours of the much bigger Hatyai, Padang Besar pales very much in comparison.






Still it is good to a have a quick look around. At least we know what it feels like to be here and not just dismiss it just because we have seen one of the biggest city in Thailand out of Bangkok.
