Hat Yai / Hatyai Thailand

Hat Yai is the largest town in Songkhla Province and the fourth largest in Thailand. Many travelers pass through from and to Malaysia, lending it a cosmopolitan feel that is unique to the area. It is well known as a travel hub, a medical centre and a shopping haven for Thais. Hat Yai’s appeal is different from Koh Samui’s or Phuket’s and it is an extremely popular tourist spot for Malaysians and Singaporeans meaning that prices are subsequently high and that you won’t see many western faces here except as transit visitors. Getting around town is fairly easy and cheap by motorcycle taxi and cabs. Hat Yai has a reputation for being a shopping destination for both Thais and foreigners. There are numbers of department stores, shopping malls and markets throughout the city. Kim Yong market (also Gim Yong) is a famous market located in the center of Hat Yai, Songkhla.
