Kai Reisen: Hat Yai

Hat Yai Thailand

Hat Yai is the largest town in Songkhla Province and the fourth largest in Thailand. Many travelers pass through on their way to and from Malaysia, giving it a cosmopolitan feel that is unique to the area. It is well known as a travel hub, a medical center, 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, which means prices are relatively high and you won’t see many Western visitors here except in transit. Getting around town is fairly easy and inexpensive by motorcycle taxi and regular taxis. Hat Yai has a strong reputation as a shopping destination for both Thais and foreigners. There are numerous department stores, shopping malls, and markets throughout the city. Kim Yong Market (also spelled Gim Yong) is a famous market located in the center of Hat Yai, Songkhla.
