Hat Yai is an extremely popular tourist spot for Malaysians and Singaporeans on holiday, but less of western tourists.
The populous city of Hat Yai, the largest in Songkhla Province, is Southern Thailand’s commercial, shopping, and entertainment center. Hat Yai is located roughly 950 km (600 miles) from Bangkok and just 30 km (18.5 miles) from the Malaysian border. Consequently it is a popular destination for visitors from Malaysia, who enjoy dining on seafood and experiencing Hat Yai’s lively nightlife.
Hat Yai is renowned for its outstanding seafood, which is served in various styles thanks to Hat Yai’s diverse population of Chinese, Malays, and Thais. Due to it’s proximity to the coastline along the southern peninsula, fishing boats bring in crabs, fish, lobsters, giant prawns, scallops, mussels, shrimps and squids. All these are often prepared simply by steaming, frying, or more elaborately by cooking in a clay pot. Not to be missed are the open-air seafood restaurants like Tha-Lay Thai where the seafood are displayed openly for your selection, and you can instruct them how to prepare your seafood to your likings.
Hat Yai also features a multitude of markets, both local and international in style, and has a festive nightlife, including pubs and discos that are particularly popular with tourists from neighboring Malaysia. All along the streets you will find row upon row of street vendors nestled against the pavement selling everything from cashewnuts to fake ‘versace’ belts. Should anything catch your eye, always remember to bargain at least 50% off the stated price and if you play hard to get you are bound to get a good deal.
