[2025 Hat Yai Restaurant] Travel Guide for Chokdee Dim Sum (Updated Oct)

I heard that Penang is similar to Phuket. How could we miss it? But if we want to travel easily by plane, what fun would it be? We have to take the train.. which is not difficult at all. More importantly, it is not expensive. We started by taking the last bus from Phuket to Hat Yai. We will arrive in Hat Yai around 4.00 am. -> When we arrive at Hat Yai Transport, find a car to the train station to buy a train ticket from Hat Yai to Padang Besar. It costs 50 baht. The ticket counter opens around 6.00 am. While waiting for the train, we went to eat dim sum at ‘Chok Dee Tae Tiem’ restaurant. The bak kut teh here is very delicious. We highly recommend it. -> The train leaves at 7.30 am, right on time. It takes about 1 hour to reach Padang Besar station. -> When we arrive at Padang Besar station, we have to get off the train to go through immigration. Just follow the signs. We felt that it was quite easy. The immigration did not ask anything. -> After going through immigration, buy a train ticket. Badang Besar-Butterworth Price 11.40 ringgit from the machine -> Buy a ticket and wait for the train on the platform. Don't forget to check the time. It must be Malaysian time, which is 1 hour ahead of Thailand. It takes about 2 hours to reach Butterworth Station. -> When you get off the train, follow the signs to the ferry terminal to go to Penang Island. It takes about 10 minutes to reach Georgetown. -> When you get off the ferry terminal, there will be many buses waiting. Or you can use Grab to call a car to take you to the hotel, which is also convenient. I told you that traveling to Penang by train is not difficult. If everyone has time, try to travel to Penang. #penang #malaysia #Penang #Malaysia #Train ##Travel by train #Get a discount without relying on luck

This is the most popular dim sum restaurant in Hat Yai. It opens early in the morning, so it's recommended to have it for breakfast. Choose your favorite dim sum and side dishes from the ones on display and put them in the tray you're given. Once you've finished choosing, hand it over to the staff and they'll guide you to your seat. When I sat down, they recommended Bak Kut Teh, so I ordered it along with Chinese tea. Bak Kut Teh is 150 baht. After a while, the steaming dim sum will be brought to you, so enjoy it without getting burned. I recommend the three dim sum dishes and Bak Kut Teh shown in the enlarged image. We ordered 12 dishes, including Bak Kut Teh and Chinese tea, for 420 baht, so I think each dish is about 20 baht. It's a very satisfying breakfast, so be sure to try it when you come to Hat Yai! #Hatyai #Dimsum
