4 days in Hat Yai Itinerary

The fourth-largest Malay city and one of the country's premier shopping and commercial districts, Hat Yai has proved extremely popular among local tourists.

Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Ice Dome Hat Yai and Siam Art Gallery. Take a break from the city and head to Tang Kuan Hill and Thale Noi Waterbird Park. Get out of town with these interesting Hat Yai side-trips: Lim Ko Niao Shrine (in Pattani City) and Songkhla (Songkhla National Museum, Songkhla Old Town, &more). There's still lots to do: don't miss a visit to Wat Hat Yai Nai, indulge in some personalized pampering at some of the best spas, take in the spiritual surroundings of Phra Maha Chedi Tripob Trimongkol, and browse the different shops at CentralFestival Hatyai.
