It was a really nice sunset! Nope - we focused on lots of great food in Songkhla in our last video. This one a tribute to the town and what makes it special
Songkhla is indeed a beautiful and charming city. I have been there once but didn't have enough time to explore. So your vlog on Songkhla is of great help to me. There are many interesting places to visit and lots of amazing food around. Must visit it again when border opens. Woah, that night market was very lively with tons of food to choose. Thanks for showing and sharing with us this cool vlog. Have a new week ahead, guys. ✌️
Definitely a charming city! One day trip from Hat Yai was all it took to convince us to come back and stay longer. Great food and really nice place to walk around and explore. Highly recommend staying for at least a night! So much food at that night market. Thank you so much, Chaw! You too
The bamboo shade area is so nice and cooling. The whole area looks so lush and relaxing. That beach was really nice, and love that so many people were out enjoying the day.
I was traveling from Koh Lipe recently and had a few days to spare before my flight from Hat Yai airport back to Bangkok, so decided to visit Songkhla on a whim. It absolutely surprised me with its charm and laid back atmosphere. It is definitely one of my favorite towns in Thailand as well.
What amazing street art, the city looks like a dream. Beautiful beach, nothing like a place with a beach where you can just go relax. Is that a coconut ice cream? I would have to order coffee too! I totally understand Greg!
Such a charming city! It really has it all within walking distance too. Yup! She carves out the coconut meat and then adds in sticky rice, ice cream, peanuts and more
Another gem that I discovered from Greg and Jumi, thank you for sharing ..many I know would just tell me nothing nice about visiting Songkhla..but after watching both your vlogs , its definitely worth to visit and stay for sometime. great cinematic filming and great music selection..this vlog so creative and beautiful worth rewatching over and over just to immerse in the architecture and street art , cute, cost, relaxed feel, food, skyline, parks, most importantly too pedestrian friendly and clean..Yes, I saw Ken Abroad too ..with his GoPro.😂😂😂 yes, Ken already left for Northern Thailand exploration.... Somehow I just love being close to this kinda town with old architecture and never get bored ..though I also love NYC from RUclips vlogs I had watched..
Thank you so much for the kind words, SK! Really wanted to let the footage speak for itself and show the beauty and charm of this town. Highly recommend visiting next time you are in the area. Just 30-40 minute ride from Hat Yai. Haha good eye spotting Ken! That was from our day trip together where we realized we wanted to come back and stay here longer. We never got bored walking around the town with all it has to offer
@@FoodandFootprints Hatyai and Songkhla just a short drive away, I believe..but already see the difference in architecture.. Hatyai unique architecture and lanes but more extensive cables network hanging all over .. where else some of street and buildings in Songkhla and Phuket old town look different from Hatyai and almost similar to Georgetown, Melaka ,Singapore, etc and also the electrical cable network mostly underground system like Malaysia
@@skbeebee8923 Very different compared to Hat Yai. Makes for a nice trip to visit both cities - they each have their charm and unique feel. Songkhla definitely more attractive and laid-back, but less options to shop and such
all those murals give us the Georgetown ML vibes! and Ipoh too! We barely heard of Songkhla, but after watching this video we really want to visit it some day!
A beautiful, clean and peaceful town. Now I know how Songkhla looks like. Thank you for showing us around. First time I see your vlog without any food recommendation. 😄
It is all of the above! Highly recommend visiting if you get the chance to. 😂😂😂 you’re right! Wanted to make a separate video all about the town itself
Digging the street art. We're in love with dope street art. Selena could've used that hat during our visit to Valley of Fire last month. You guys will see why but we both learned the necessity for hiking in the sun haha. Everything looks so empty, is it because it's on of the smaller Thai cities? Songkhla looks so peaceful. No wonder it's your fave.
It is more under the radar compared to other parts of Southern Thailand, but can imagine it is busier during more normal times. It is really nice and peaceful - love the old town and how you can still walk to the beach and have a whole different vibe
Yes! Love those kind beach roads anywhere in the world. Definitely want to explore the Catalonia coast someday too! We are all about that coastal beach life
Oh man, that beach area is just what we need right about now. Nothing wrong with ordering coffee late at night. Haha I (Maria) do the same thing. I want what Jumi is having!
Just watching you guys walk down those narrow streets and listening to the birds and see the beautiful architecture was so enjoyable and relaxing. I can see why you guys love this place so much. The beach looks like a perfect place to meet up with family and enjoy the day. I love this. Awesome video guys. I enjoyed this very much ⭐️🧡
What a cute town!!! The Chinese influence clearly does show. The street art is amazing. Wish I could draw like those guys. I bet you guys got over 10,000 steps easy.
Thats a beautiful town, love the architecture, I could see myself exploring that town. I've only been to Bangkok, I want to return to Thailand, and explore more of the country.
Those alleys are so small!!! Who gets the right of way if 2 cars come at the same time. Oh man that Lake is nice - it’s huge. That sunset is so nice. Looks like things are getting back to normal again.
HAHAHA.. leave it to Greg to find coffee right at the beach! You may regret it later.. but not now!! Our favorite was when you checked out the night markets too. Fun adventure and love you guys to the moon! 💖🌛🥰
If Greg and Jumi said that Songkhla is your favourite city in Thailand then you convinced us to visit it too 😁 Hope one day we will be able to visit 👌🏻
First you start off with one of the great chill vibes... I wonder if Asian countries have more of a carryover of neighboring nations' food, architecture and art influences than in Europe, for example. And Greg, killer Queens t-shirt!
Yes, Songkhla is the capital town but Haadyai has grown bigger for various Reasons. It even has a Malaysian consulate. We used to travel from sungei golok up to Songkhla and exit Thailand via padang besar, vice versa.
We read about the Malaysian consulate there! Has to be a nice trip to go from Malaysia to South Thailand and back. Would like to visit some more towns like Betong near the border when things get back to normal
Beautiful looking town, reminds me of the old Town in Hoi an in Vietnam. The old streets are filled with character. When you were sitting under the bamboo the sound from the birds 🐦 was very therapeutic. 👌 6pm coffee ☕ sunset 🌇 and nightmarket 😍 what a vlog so jelly wanna be there too
So much character in the old town. And just the vibe with the aunties and uncles outside the old buildings and shops too. Highly recommend a visit here, guys! Very close to the Malaysia border
I have plans to leave Bangkok to Hat Yai by train and then take a bus or van to Songkhla. I'll take a folding bike with me. It would be nice to explore the city on a bike.
Do the 2nd class sleeper ‘Special Express’. Vans in Hat Yai go from the Clock Tower, about 1km north of train station, 34 baht. Best value place to stay in Songkhla right now is Glow Ratana Place.

A pick up coffee truck, wow 😄 love the Thai creativity when it comes to food or drink stalls, awesome!
Couldn’t agree more! Never ceases to amaze us to see the resourcefulness and creativity
@@FoodandFootprints totally impressed by their f&b sector 👍
Thanks for this wonderful video n thanks for sharing n showing your day exploration in Songkhla.
Thank you for watching! We really fell in love with Songkhla
@@FoodandFootprints I also like d mermaid statue by d beach. 😀
Songkhla is also definitely one of my favourite towns in Thailand.
Moonshine, your smell still left behind in Perlis.
Glad you like Songkhla too! Such a charming town - could’ve easily spent more than 2 weeks here
Coffee on a truck, wow! Definitely out there supporting locals. Pretty timelapse!
Love supporting local spots like these!
Hey Greg and Jumi! That's awesome Songkhla is your favorite town so far. The street art is gorgeous there!
It really is!
Wow! What a beautiful sunset, I wish we were there to watch it fully.
Night market!! More to see next video?
It was a really nice sunset! Nope - we focused on lots of great food in Songkhla in our last video. This one a tribute to the town and what makes it special

Thank you so much, Chaw! You too
That coffee setup is hustling at it's peek. Love it. And it's called a percolator.
Ahh thanks! Definitely hustling at it’s peak and you can see these creative coffee and food setups a lot all over Thailand. We love it!
That sunset. Wow.
Coffee from a pickup truck. Sounds like a country song, Greg. But in reality, that's so cool.
Hahaha! It was really cool - we are amazed with the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit here when it comes to food and coffee vendors
Pick up coffee concept is soo cool. We need more of that everywhere!
Couldn’t agree more!
The bamboo shade area is so nice and cooling. The whole area looks so lush and relaxing. That beach was really nice, and love that so many people were out enjoying the day.
Really nice to get some shade on a hot sunny day. Loved the beach vibe too!
Haha one guy fell from the banana boat, man how i miss tropical weather, beach side eating some desserts
😂😂😂 always fun to watch those banana boats. Soon enough, guys!
Even this city has lake and beach as well. Love the chill vibe this city has 😍
Yummm looks like you got coconut ice cream?
Songkhla has it all! Such a great vibe here.
Yup! She scooped the coconut meat then added ice cream, sticky rice, peanuts and more
I was traveling from Koh Lipe recently and had a few days to spare before my flight from Hat Yai airport back to Bangkok, so decided to visit Songkhla on a whim. It absolutely surprised me with its charm and laid back atmosphere. It is definitely one of my favorite towns in Thailand as well.
So glad you decided to go to Songkhla and enjoyed it! Would love to go back
Wow such a chill place. You've captured the mood. Might consider moving there 🤩
Highly recommend visiting! We loved the chill vibe here. Stayed two weeks, but could have easily stayed longer
@@FoodandFootprints definitely going into my ' places to retire' list
@@krisztinafoo27 Great choice! Also very close to Malaysia and wonderful food in Hat Yai 😁
What amazing street art, the city looks like a dream.
Beautiful beach, nothing like a place with a beach where you can just go relax.
Is that a coconut ice cream?
I would have to order coffee too! I totally understand Greg!

5:50 the beach looks so relaxing!
It is such a nice relaxing place! Loved walking along the beach
This old town of Songkhla looks pretty amazing. Definitely has plenty of old school buildings, very rich history!
It is amazing! So glad we decided to come and stay for a few weeks. So worth it!
My crazy insane school year is over,, so I’m back to watching!! Missed watching your videos!!
Congrats on finishing up the school year! Thank you so much and hope you have a great summer!

Absolutely!
Coffee from the back of his truck?! LOVE IT
Hustler mentality indeed
Knew you would appreciate that!
Nice find Greg with the coffee vendor by the street.
Haha Google translate to the rescue 👌🏻😁
Google Translate is a must in Thailand!
WOW, the city looks so idyllic. That beach was a good vibe.
It is an idyllic city - so glad we decided to stay for 2 weeks.
I'll catch you guys at the beach 👍 that's where I'll be mostly haha looks like halo halo on a coconut, refreshing!
Haha it was a bit like halo halo!
Bit of an oasis from the sun - if nick and helmi is there - i will drag jumi and greg into a coffee shop haha
😂😂😂
such a nice relaxed city in Thailand! the street art scene looked amazing!
Definitely a relaxed place! Love the street art too
I love the street art. The town does look nice and quaint with the tiny streets
Really nice street art here!
Everything looks so pristine there! It looks so clean and well maintained!
It is! We fell in love with this town
That coconut desert looks so good. Never had that before. All those street vendors. Never had pick up coffee before. That’s hardcore.
Really enjoyed the coconut ice cream! Yesss the creativity of the coffee setups here in Thailand is incredible. We love it!
Wow the city n beach of Songkhla indeed is beautiful. Coffee? Oh yes.
It is! Such a gem of a place
all those murals give us the Georgetown ML vibes! and Ipoh too!
We barely heard of Songkhla, but after watching this video we really want to visit it some day!
It reminded us of both of those towns too! Also Melaka + Phuket Old Town. Songkhla is such a gem, guys! Think you would enjoy it

That shady area looks so green and lush!! Beautiful! ❤️
Sooo calm and relaxing
Oh man, that beach area is just what we need right about now. Nothing wrong with ordering coffee late at night. Haha I (Maria) do the same thing. I want what Jumi is having!
😂😂😂 yesss team night time coffee
didn't expect those big ships on a lake!
big fishing there??
Yup good amount! And the lake feeds into the Gulf of Thailand too
Just bought you guys coffee!!
Thank you so much! We really appreciate it, Melissa 😁🙏🙏🙏
I miss this area man. Was here like 4x in my life. Great food and vibes
After spending so much time in this area, we can definitely see why. We loved the vibe and food too!
That is cool, surrounded by nature in the middle of the city 🙂
Very peaceful!

Thank you so much! Songkhla is such a charming, peaceful and colorful town for sure
That is very beautiful there, was just there. But you can not swim so well, many poisonous jellyfish. There is also a bold sign with WARNING.
D street art in d city is really charming.
It is! We’ve noticed lots of cities and towns in Southern Thailand have nice street art
@@FoodandFootprints 😀
What a cute town!!! The Chinese influence clearly does show. The street art is amazing. Wish I could draw like those guys. I bet you guys got over 10,000 steps easy.
Definitely! There were some days of 20,000+ steps just walking around the town. Very easy and pleasant to do
7:11 got Hawaii vibes.
Can see what you mean there
Beautiful sunset!
It was!
Thailand looks like an amazing place to visit!!
It definitely is! Highly recommend
Thats a beautiful town, love the architecture, I could see myself exploring that town. I've only been to Bangkok, I want to return to Thailand, and explore more of the country.
Definitely recommend exploring more of Thailand. We love the south and Songkhla especially
The beach looks peaceful
It really was!
Love all the night vendors. We've started to see them in Chicago too. It's such a good feeling.
Glad you are getting more night time vendors in Chicago!
Doesnt this somewhat reminds you of penang @greg? 🤔
It does! And Melaka, Ipoh, Phuket Old Town
Oh that sunset is amazing.
It was!
The street art is amazing
It is! So many great pieces
A bit old town isn’t it , love yours walk tour , love Songkhla too :)
If it is your favorite city, then it means it is a great place and we have to go check it out!
Yes! Recommend it to any and everyone. One day trip visit led to a 2 week stay
@@FoodandFootprints we understand hahaha we came to Sarajevo for one week and now we are at least staying 3 hahaha
@@mariaandbryan That’s awesome! The beauty of living this life and being able to be flexible.
Beautiful sunset at d lake in Songkhla.
It was! Very peaceful to and relax by the lake during sunset
@@FoodandFootprints Wonderful. 😀
Was the ice cream in a coconut bowl? What were some of the toppings that you put on?
It was! We got sticky rice, peanuts, palm seeds and believe sweetened yam. You could also add bread, but we decided against it
Those alleys are so small!!! Who gets the right of way if 2 cars come at the same time. Oh man that Lake is nice - it’s huge. That sunset is so nice. Looks like things are getting back to normal again.
Things are tough with the new wave of Covid that are really hard on tourist-reliant places
I think this is d first time I'm not seeing u guys tasting food in d video.
Think you are right, Yasin! 😂
@@FoodandFootprints 😀
@@FoodandFootprints R u guys still exploring d South, or have headed somewhere else in Thailand, perhaps d north?
We thought it look slightly colonial. Love the street art and the artsy vibes. Yes, be careful with those cars.Haha
Such great vibes in Songkhla
The street arts are amazing young artist showing their talents
Definitely talented!
Unfortunately we have never experienced a night market visit, hopefully one day! Crossing fingers
You will!
Wow this particular part of Thailand is nothing I know of thailand compare to bangkok..love the architecture
Yeah! Southern Thailand has some really cool towns and cities. We love it!
HAHAHA.. leave it to Greg to find coffee right at the beach! You may regret it later.. but not now!! Our favorite was when you checked out the night markets too. Fun adventure and love you guys to the moon! 💖🌛🥰

Hope you do too!
the Chinese influence on the architecture is so cool. A lot of buildings with character
Lots of character in Songkhla for sure!
I'm sure that pick-up coffee is amazing..
It was tasty! Love the entrepreneurial spirit here
What a beautiful city in thailand.
It really is!
Thats the life...selling coffee out of the truck!! You don't see that often!!! I buy it too!
No way we weren’t gonna buy something from him!
Wow! Such a beautiful place, interesting that it has a Chinese influence
Yeah! Songkhla is a real gem
Great!!
Thank you very much!
First you start off with one of the great chill vibes...
I wonder if Asian countries have more of a carryover of neighboring nations' food, architecture and art influences than in Europe, for example.
And Greg, killer Queens t-shirt!
This town definitely felt like a few towns in Malaysia. Thank you! Always representing Queens even when thousands of miles away
There are always travel alerts for Americans to go there, but I definitely want to visit. Doesn't look concerning in your video at all.
It is very peaceful. The travel alerts are more for Songkhla province in general, moreso closer to Yala and Pattani.
Yes, Songkhla is the capital town but Haadyai has grown bigger for various Reasons. It even has a Malaysian consulate.
We used to travel from sungei golok up to Songkhla and exit Thailand via padang besar, vice versa.

That’s a tight fit walking on the street with cars passing by!
Very! 😂
Super duper excellent
Thank you very much!
Songkhla reminds us of Penang, especially with the Chinese influence and the street arts 🥰
The old town does have a similar vibe to Penang! Also Melaka and Ipoh
It's like Melaka and Ipoh or Penang.
Yup reminded us of all 3 along with Phuket Town. And nice to have a beach and lake within walking distance of it too
Wow! Songkhla is really beautiful! Never been there. Plus point that there's lots of halal options for muslims.
It is beautiful! Highly recommend visiting. And definitely lots of Halal food options around the city and a short drive from Hat Yai
I might regret this later… greg the owl 🦉 haha 😂
Definitely was an owl that night 😂
Definitely hustler mentality 💯. He has a truck and he has coffee so why not. I love it!
Yes! We’ve seen so many creative coffee and food setups here in Thailand
Take a nap under that bamboo. 😂 That's what we would do. Nothing like taking those back streets.
😂😂
can't escape the 7-11's!! they're everywhere! 😂
😂😂😂 yup! They are so much better than the ones in the US
The building looks like in Penang. The only difference is the language.
Definitely reminded us of Penang, Melaka, Ipoh, Muar and Phuket Old Town. Charming old colorful buildings
