Hat Yai
An understated shopping paradise, Hat Yai boasts an impressive array of retail complexes, from malls to floating markets. Thanks to the extensive railway and airport systems, many travellers stopover to enjoy Klong Hae and Santisuk’s markets amid their Thailand itineraries. But Hat Yai offers plenty of other visual treats, from the reclining resplendence of Wat Hat Yai Nai, Khao Kho Hong’s cable car panoramas, to annual Chak Phra processions.
