Unusual Bites in Southern Thailand

You can see a variety of bug dishes, see people eating snake, bird's nest soup, shark fin soup or durian. Even going to McDonald's is an adventure where you can get a corn, pineapple or taro pie. These foods may not be considered permissible in some religions. Hatyai does have a variety of food vendors for all.
