Central Hatyai, also known as CentralFestival Hatyai, is a vibrant and diverse mall in Hat Yai that offers an array of shopping and dining experiences. The lower level features a variety of local products and halal Thai cuisine, making it convenient for Muslim visitors. On the upper floor, visitors can explore electronics, clothing stores, watch movies or enjoy arcade games. Outside the mall in the evenings, there are sales of Thai cuisine, handicrafts and live performances.
The most amazing, a big mall i’ve visited when i was in Hat Yai. Lot of stuff, and foods! If you’re a tourist, you can access the Tourist Lounge at the Lobby. Just show your passport, and you can use the lounge to take a rest for 30 minutes and more if not crowded. They will give you a lot of vouchers you can use while you’re shopping at the Mall 🥰

In here, you can find good foods in an air conditioned space. It’s just they don’t provide space for customers to eat. You have to take away all foods you ordered and eat them somewhere else. The foods here are aesthetically pleasing. This is a must visit spot for all tourist 👌 I just hope they can display the prices so that customers can make more informed choices.

I could come to Hat Yai and just go to this shopping complex without going to the street bazaars. The choices of street food on the basement floor is also not too bad. But of course, being in a shopping mall, the price is on the high side as compared to the street bazaars. The complex itself is big and spacious, well air-conditioned, beautifully decorated, and branded items can mostly be found here. There are ATM machines on the 3rd or 4th floor, for those who need its service. ☺️ Good experience to be here.
Rahmah R — Google review
There are plenty of delicious food options here. The system requires you to purchase a voucher at the machine first, and any remaining balance can be refunded. The place is spacious with plenty of seating. And on the lowest floor, there are plenty of tempting snacks to choose from. It’s a great spot for grabbing a quick bite or sampling various local and international foods.
IWA S — Google review
Visited Central Hatyai during my trip, and it turned out to be one of the more comfortable shopping destinations in the city. The mall is spacious, modern, and very clean, which immediately makes shopping here a pleasant experience compared to the more crowded street markets. The environment feels welcoming, with wide walkways and a bright, organized layout that makes browsing different sections of the mall easy and enjoyable. While I didn’t have much direct interaction with the staff, the mall itself is well-maintained, and everything seemed smooth and orderly. The facilities are in good condition, and the overall atmosphere feels safe and relaxing, which is always a plus when traveling. One of the highlights of Central Hatyai is the ground floor area, where they bring in a street food concept inside the mall. This is a smart and convenient feature because visitors get to enjoy local flavors in a cleaner and more comfortable setting. Instead of squeezing through crowded night markets or outdoor stalls, you can sample a wide variety of food options in an air-conditioned environment. This mix of local culture with the convenience of a shopping mall makes it unique compared to other malls. Apart from the food section, the mall also offers a good variety of retail outlets, lifestyle stores, and entertainment spots, so you can easily spend a few hours here without feeling bored. It’s also a great spot to take a break from the heat outside while still experiencing some of Hatyai’s local charm through the food and products offered inside. Overall, I would rate Central Hatyai 4 out of 5. It’s a comfortable, spacious, and well-thought-out mall that blends modern shopping with local street food culture. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Hatyai and want a clean, convenient, and enjoyable shopping experience.

As a first time visitor to this shopping mall and a first time visitor to Hat Yai, I was very impressed by how huge it was, and how great the tenant mix was. As someone who resides in Singapore, it was as big, if not bigger than Vivocity, and I am sure it could rival any other shopping mall in a much bigger city anywhere. I could spend days here checking out its local, regional and international branded stores, its huge food court on level four, its great mix of food outlets on its basement level - not to mention, its other many food outlets dispersed at all of its other levels, its huge anchor Central department store and associated Tops supermarket, its fun zones and the Cineplex. And I was amused by its decorations for Halloween and coincidentally, when I was here today, I managed to catch a dancing durian mascot promoting one of its tenant stores. Walking around the shopping mall and seeing the crowd therein, I could sense that it is very popular with tourists and mostly locals. So, I would highly recommend this place, especially if you are visiting Hat Yai.

Central Hat Yai is a vibrant shopping mall that offers a variety of stores, restaurants, and entertainment options. The atmosphere is lively and spacious, making it a great place to shop or hang out with friends and family. The mall features a good mix of local and international brands, along with a food court that serves delicious Thai and international cuisines. By the way, kids playground at food court area still closed. Parking is convenient and mostly staff is generally friendly. Overall, Central Hat Yai is a wonderful spot to spend a day shopping and enjoying good food in a bustling environment.

Bought food bazaar-style at Level G, then ate at the food court on Level 4 (no chairs at Level G). Notable mentions: raw marinated salmon & prawn, oysters and toro fries. Also stopped by Boots — got the viral Boots 3-in-1 gel, bubble bath shampoo, and Joji scrubs. Parking is free, but don’t forget to bring your passport — they’ll ask to check your car boot before entering.

Market
Flea & Street Markets
ASEAN Night Bazaar Hatyai is a bustling covered market that attracts both locals and tourists, offering a wide array of clothing, souvenirs, and classic Thai dishes. Spread over two floors, this night market is particularly popular among Muslim travelers. The ground floor features stalls selling affordable clothes, shoes, watches, and beauty products like facial masks with samples for testing. While prices may be higher compared to other markets in the area, visitors can still try their hand at bargaining.
This place have lots stalls selling garments, parking lots are plenty, but due to the crowd, parking lots are quite hard to find. There is a small food court on top of the place, offer some local food with reasonable price. But i strongly recommend the organizer make some improvement on ventilation of the market as it is so hot in there.

Variety of items and food for tourists. Located very close to Greenway market so you can enjoy shopping at the 2 places next to each other. Note that it's open in the evening and closed on Monday so check carefully before coming.

Food - 5 stars. Cin Cao drink is soooo good & refreshing although it's milky? The tom yum from the yellow shop is the best tom yum we've had thus far (from a night market standard). The kerabu kaki ayam from the red shop is also good & the auntie who makes it is super sweet as well. Price wise - Very reasonable. Souvenir - Souvenir prices here are ok. It's not very cheap but not that expensive either. Recommended for the keychains / shirts / fridge magnets / typical souvenir with Hatyai or Thailand stamped on it hahah But for the inhalers (brand names), I think u can find cheaper elsewhere? For example I got 2 inhalers for 150B but I could get 6 for 180B from 7E. Clothes - The pricing here is a hit or miss. I would say it's kind of pricey for an okay-ish quality garments? But they are pretty generous with the discounts if you seem interested browsing their items haha Payment Method - For the food I think all places accept cash & QR. But for the clothes, some of them only accept cash although most of them accept QR payments. No card payments here.

Masya Allah, Subhanallah… you will be spoiled for choice here, as there are so many things that can be bought as long as you have the money.☺️ There are a lot of choices to choose from, some good quality and some not, so be careful and inspect thoroughly the stuff that you want to buy. Price is reasonable, but if you’re good at bargaining perhaps you can get a good price. The food upstairs is also great, many to choose from, so much so you don’t know what to choose, cos’ one can only eat as much. ☺️ Food is mostly halal. The place gets very crowded on weekends. So please be careful and take care of your handbags and wallets. Also make sure the small children are safe and closely guarded under watchful eyes. Happy shopping and enjoy the food too.

Food here is 💯! Must-try: Chin Cao (ask for less sugar, manih potong kaki), tendon soup, fried mussel and seafood kerabu makcik kalut (ask for less spicy). Visited on a Sunday night — not too crowded.

Many clothes and medicine selling with avarage same price, got food at upstairs and ground floor but difficult to find empty spaces, all full.. Suggest find place and reserved by our member 1st then others can one by one buy, food just nearest. Many tuk tuk waiting outside the market, better bargain, sometimes some of them put highly prices, better go by group its more cheaper.

An old shopping complex near to the hotel I stayed. Not many shops. Can find Watson, the pizza company, pizza hut, KFC and a Thai food court selling Thai food. Food portion is big at food court but not at S and P restaurant which was quite high in food price and food portion is small. There is a supermarket where you can buy snacks, bread and other things you need. Lastly, there is a cinema.

A nostalgic place for the Hatyai ppl. This shopping center is very old for Hatyai City. There are so many brand sales here for you to shop such as Fashion, Beauty, Makeup, etc. They also have an arcade center and cinema theatre (but with Thai Dub only) on the top floor.

Krua Reuan Thai Restaurant and chalomshop offers a unique dining experience that stands out from the typical southern Thai culture. Despite being located in the south, it exudes the ambiance of a central or northern region restaurant. The establishment is known for its authentic and outstanding Thai cuisine, providing an array of delectable dishes at reasonable prices. Visitors are sure to be drawn back for more of this exceptional culinary experience in the future.
WhatsApp them to make a reservation way before my trip as we went on Christmas Day. They were fully booked, for walk in only avail 7pm and after. Very small restaurant so seating is limited but the restaurant is cosy and clean. Ambience is there, food is delicious and staff fine albeit attitude a bit cold. Take note they only accept cash.
Juliana O — Google review
Foods are savoury and salty . Ordered 4 dishes. The clear soup tomyum is too salty, fried pork is ok. The money vegetable with egg is the most delicious. The foods are not as delicious as the other comments mentioned. Wouldn’t recommend for others to come.The food quality is not worth for the price we paid. You can find better authentic and local Thai food in other places in Hatyai. This is the worst I had so far. The staff is unfriendly and rude. Can’t wait for long and roll eyes while taking order. lol what a joke. Bad service overall. Good atmosphere and ambience though , full of decorations.

Quite an interesting Thai restaurant. They don't accommodate too many customers so better make reservation before visiting. Service is not very friendly. Ordered some basic dishes but tasted delicious. The keng som is super duper spicy. For the weak heart, better don't test your limit. The price is a bit on the higher side.

The decor was beautifully adorned in the timeless Nyonya style, with its intricate details and vibrant touches.

Authentic Thai cuisine in a charming setting! Loved the decor—you enter through a narrow path before reaching the restaurant. 😍✨ 🛎️ Without a reservation, you might miss out! We walked in around 5:30 PM and were lucky to get a table. One note: the high chairs for kids here don’t have safety straps. 😅 Thankfully, my little one managed fine. With just two of us, we couldn't order too much. We tried the recommended appetizers: crab meat spring rolls (180/270 THB), braised pork leg with radish (today's special), stir-fried mani leaves (150 THB), and the spicy seafood soup (300 THB). Plus one rice and two drinks, the total came to 1,095 THB. Overall, a great experience! 😌👌

Krua Pa Yad is a well-known eatery renowned for its authentic Thai cuisine, garnering praise from locals as the top spot for local Thai food in Hatyai. With an extensive menu featuring a wide range of dishes, this establishment offers reasonably priced options to cater to all tastes. The seafood dishes are particularly noteworthy, delivering both affordability and delectable flavors. Some standout dishes include deep-fried tender pork with garlic, vegetable with crispy pork, and crispy shrimp with sour sauce.
We checked on Google for good food in Hatyai and found this place with thousands of reviews and a high rating – and it definitely lived up to the hype! There were people helping to take care of our car during parking, which was very convenient. The food was served very quickly, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious at a reasonable price. The floor and tables were clean, and the staff were all very friendly. Highly recommended!

Dishes are good, fast, price are very reasonable. But its always crowded with Malaysians hence some time waiting time would be long. But overall is a good place to catch a nice meal.

Krua Pa-Yad is one of those restaurants in Hatyai that many people talk about, so we decided to give it a try — and it did not disappoint. The restaurant opens at 4 PM, and we arrived early, becoming part of the second batch of customers for the evening. This turned out to be a great decision because the place can get very busy later on, with long waiting queues forming rather quickly. If you plan to visit, I would highly recommend going early to avoid the crowd and enjoy a more relaxed dining experience. The staff here were friendly and attentive. They greeted us warmly and took our order promptly. Despite the restaurant starting to fill up, service remained smooth and efficient, which made the whole experience enjoyable. The environment is clean, spacious, and well-maintained, providing a comfortable setting for a casual dinner. The open layout and neat arrangement of tables create a nice atmosphere where you can enjoy your meal without feeling cramped. Price-wise, the menu felt reasonable and fair for the quality and portion size of the food. The dishes we ordered were served in portions that matched the price, which made it easy to order a variety of items without worrying about wasting food. Taste-wise, everything we tried was delicious. The flavors were well-balanced, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. It’s the kind of food that feels homey yet flavorful, perfect for sharing with family or friends. Overall, Krua Pa-Yad is definitely worth a visit if you are in Hatyai. Between the friendly service, clean and comfortable environment, reasonable pricing, and tasty dishes, it makes for a satisfying dining experience. Just remember to plan ahead and arrive early — it’s popular for a reason, and the waiting queue later in the evening can get quite long!

Absolutely amazing food! It’s within walking distance from Chinatown, which is super convenient. However, I noticed many customers were smoking right at the entrance, and sadly, many of them were fellow Malaysians. As a Malaysian myself, I feel a bit ashamed by this behavior. It wouldn’t hurt to walk a little further away to smoke. Let’s be more considerate and respectful, especially when we’re guests in another country.

On the 12th July 2025, I and family members came to this restaurant for having lunch after long hours stack at imigresen. The restaurant are new and likely visiting by most of Malaysian. The ordering was easy since they have English version menu. The taste of all dishes we ordered were under par. Only the good this is short waiting time for dishes to serve.

Was recommended by a local and we fell in love once try it. We came back on the other day. We tried both clear soup and tom yam soup with choice of topping such as seafood amd pork. The seafood is fresh, pork meat tender, soup was tasty! The Thai tea only 30 Baht and come in Jumbo size! Worth it! Price is resonable so give it a try! *note: you can remark less spicy for the soup

Nice place with lots of varieties of noodles and soup base. Guess they are quite popular with tourists but not too many locals dining. Had my pork noodles, felt the price slighty expensive compared to many others in Hatyai. Taste wise is OK but again you can find many other better stalls outside. Parking is horrible here but then I guess there is no no parking zoning in front the shop although the main road is very busy.

Quite a unique noodle house with lots of variety. We ordered jumbo set thb259 which consists of a bowl of ribs, seafood, noodles and drinks. After we have finished our meal, we notice that our meal came without the egg as stated in the menu. The restaurant did apologise but didn't compensate us for the misses. Food was alright except too sweet for the soup.

Came across this quaint little Italian restaurant while on a short visit to Hat Yai. The food, service, and atmosphere were great. The portions were in line with the prices. I had the pumpkin with crab meat soup and the sea bass with lobster sauce. Both were fantastic. My friend had the garlic and spinach starter and a pasta with mussels dish. She enjoyed both as well. The house red wine was also enjoyable. I would recommend eating here if you are craving an Italian meal.

Pros : the food is really good. Also the services there’s the best. Price is fair. They offered a good quality wine. Tiramisu was over expected. It’s so good. Plus they also gave you a free sourdough and focaccia. That’s what I really love about this place. Cons : the size of dish and the table are not fit. Our table is quite small and dishes were so big.

Luckily this place’s kitchen close at 22:00 So we could find food However the food was not at its peak thus without getting to the Pana cotta we had canceled the order. We had to return the garlic bread Both the bespoke said Mozzarella and Parmesan we are not sure which cheese was it The Penne Arrabbiata was extremely mild and the wild mushroom fettuccini was swimming in its sauce.. Chili was as understood as Paprika… and above all the Pizza menu was given as well as it was communicated on the phone that there’s pizza, however, as soon as we got to the shop they told us that they ran out of pizza… hello isn’t it Italian restaurant? I wish we had gone to the ASEAN night, Market and grab some good Thai food no more comments 🥲

Day 2

West side of town
For day 2, we recommend exploring the west side side of town. Start the day off with Khlong Hae Floating Market, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Kho Hong Mountain vista point. All together, your day would be filled with about 8 hours of non-stop fun.

Khlong Hae Floating Market

4.2
(12201)
Floating market
Khlong Hae Floating Market is a lively weekend market where vendors sell a variety of Thai street food, drinks, and souvenirs from boats. The market opens at 2 pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. It's a bustling place with numerous food options such as Tom Yum Kung, fried seafood, chicken dishes, mango sticky rice, and coconut ice cream. Cash is the preferred payment method here. Visitors can also find stalls on land selling souvenirs and clothing items.
I love how each rowboat sells different types of food, not all the same stuff. The food was pretty good too. There were extra stalls around, so lots of choices to try! Big thanks to the guy performing on the bridge , singing and dancing for the crowd 💗 I forgot to snap a pic of him, but his energy really brought the place to life. Super entertaining! 👍

The food was okay. A little tips though you should come here at 3 pm on friday to get empty table and shopping for food easily because this place will be packed at 4pm onwards. Go early during the day because you wont be able to see a thing at night. Also I bought a really nice thailand traditional skirt here with a reasonable price compare to shop around Lee Garden. So if you are looking for a thailand traditional skirt or clothes, do come here.

We visited on a Sunday and wow, it was packed! Since the market only opens on weekends, it’s no surprise that the crowd was huge, with people coming from everywhere. There are tons of food options — it’s honestly overwhelming but in a good way! You can find all sorts of Thai street food served from boats and plenty of local snacks to try. Clothing stalls are also everywhere and the prices here are way cheaper compared to other shops we’ve been to. For example, pants that cost 170 baht elsewhere were only around 80–100 baht here. Definitely a great place to shop and experience the lively local atmosphere!

Hatyai Floating Market is definitely worth a visit! It’s not just the floating market — if you cross to the other side of the bridge, you’ll find another market area with even more food, souvenirs, and local goodies to explore. The toilets are paid, but they’re clean and well-kept, which is nice considering how crowded the place can get. Prices aren’t super cheap, but still reasonable for tourists, and the overall experience makes it worth it. A great place to walk around, snack on local treats, and soak in the lively, colorful atmosphere of Hatyai!

Visited Khlong Hae Floating Market during my recent trip to Hatyai, and it was such a unique and memorable experience. This is one of the few floating markets in Southern Thailand and is definitely a must-visit if you are looking for something different from the usual night markets. The environment is what makes this place so special. The market is set along the river, and the highlight is the vendors selling food directly from their boats. It feels like stepping into a postcard scene, and it’s a great spot for photography. Even though there are fewer than 50 boats now, it still has a very charming and authentic vibe. The view becomes even more beautiful as the evening approaches, especially around sunset. If you have the time, I highly recommend staying until it gets darker, because the market looks even more magical with the lights reflecting on the water at night. The staff and vendors were friendly and welcoming, which made the visit pleasant. Prices are slightly on the higher side compared to regular night markets, but this is expected since it’s a popular tourist attraction. Food portions are normal, and the taste is quite good. There are many choices of local snacks, drinks, and desserts, so you can try a little bit of everything while walking around. One thing to note is that the market is only open on Saturdays and Sundays, so plan your trip accordingly. We visited around 5pm, which was a good timing as it wasn’t too crowded yet, and we could enjoy the atmosphere comfortably. Overall, I would rate Khlong Hae Floating Market 4 out of 5. It’s a special experience that combines culture, food, and beautiful scenery. Definitely worth visiting if you are in Hatyai, especially if you’ve never been to a floating market before.
Zen Y — Google review
Nice place with a wide variety of food. We tried Pad Thai (50 baht), fried rice (50 baht), fried banana (20 baht), longan drink (35 baht), and ayam susu (15 baht). All tasty and worth the price. The market has two section. The lower part with food sold from boats, and the upper part with stalls. The upper area mixes halal and non-halal food, and there are some dogs around, which can be uncomfortable for Muslim visitors. Overall, a good place to enjoy local Thai street food and the floating market atmosphere.
Shahrizatt A — Google review
Opens only during the weekends. Overall, it’s worth a visit if you’re in Hat Yai and want a lively evening with food, culture and a floating‑market vibe. It won’t be pristine, luxurious, or super relaxed, but the experience is authentic and fun.

One of the most beautiful landmarks in Songkhla! 🕌 The Central Mosque is stunning with its design is inspired by the Taj Mahal, with a wide reflecting pool that creates a perfect mirror view at sunset. Peaceful, quiet, and a great place for photography. Tips: - Go during sunset for the best photos, the reflection is amazing. - Early morning is also quiet and beautiful.

Beautiful mosque with a peaceful atmosphere. We stopped by to pray during our trip. The place is clean and well maintained. The mosque’s design is stunning and slightly resembles the Taj Mahal in Agra, making it very majestic and photogenic. Outside the mosque, there are a few hawkers selling drinks, light snacks, and local rattan bags (around RM20 each). A nice spot to take a short break, pray, and enjoy the surroundings.

A majestic mosque with brilliant interior decorations: marble floors and well lit ceilings. It is very spacious. The toilet is clean and the ablution area is quite big. A huge space for women’s section. The mosque is also known as the Taj Mahal of Thailand with a reflective crystal clear pool. A beautiful photography at sunset!

Big C Extra Hatyai 2

4.3
(4129)
Hypermarket
Big C Extra Hatyai 2 is a modern shopping complex where you can find everyday goods at Thai prices. There are two main Big C complexes in Hat Yai, along with several mini-shops in other locations. Visitors can explore a variety of products, including snacks and household items wrapped in Thai packaging. The outlet offers a range of items such as hand-wash sensors, sink cups, and even chandeliers.
Came to buy jungle cheese bun, it once was ky favorite bread 5 years ago, with better taste here than others from different provinces. Now there are more stalls in ground floor. Good service remains.

My favourite Big C to shop at in Hatyai! Compared to other shopping spots, this branch isn’t overly crowded with tourists, which makes the whole experience much more relaxing and enjoyable. They have a wide variety of products—from local snacks and groceries to clothes, household items, and beauty products. It's a one-stop shop for everything you need, whether you're stocking up or browsing for fun. What I really love is the range of food and beverage options available—plenty of choices to recharge during or after shopping. Plus, there are massage shops around if you want a quick break to unwind. Highly recommended if you're looking for a comfortable and complete shopping experience in Hatyai!
Chian — Google review
A huge... really huge Big C Extra. Carrying that name it should carry everything or most products. Well it does to an extent, organisation of products can be haphazard though. Products are well priced but not stocked frequently. So you will find products you wish to buy missing or not stocked up on the racks. Products available in this supermarket are not as diverse as those available in the Big C in Bangkok. Those present to purchase local food souvenirs might be disappointed although the types of seasonings available may provide some sort of consolation. Service is of the friendly kind however, foreigners may still find it hard to find what they came for due to the language barriers. Not all workers possess ample english proficiency although they are eager to assist. Other than the supermarket, a D.I.Y store, an AIS Dtac shop, several shops catering to phone accessories, books, cosmetics, a kid zone and a massage machine to cater to various needs. Clothes being sold are surprisingly cheaper than some sold in other markets with tshirts avaliable for 100 baht even. One of my major draws to this super hypermarket would be the fact that it carries local products and seasonings extensively, thus catering to the locals without carrying the hype of tourist syndrome supermarket. Overall, while this is a hypermarket to be visited to ease the burden on your wallets, high expextations should not be put in place mentally or you would be disappointed.

However, still manage to bought snacks that are not found in SG. So far, I have never left Big C empty handed. there are a few fast food outlets and restaurants available over at this Big C AND relatively easy to get a grab from here.

Hatyai City Municipal Park

4.4
(6564)
Park
Hatyai City Municipal Park is a popular attraction in Hat Yai, Thailand, known for its diverse offerings. The park features religious statues, gondola rides, pedal boating, playgrounds, and stunning panoramic views. One of its highlights is the towering Buddha statue at the entrance, standing at 20 meters tall and weighing about 200 tons. Visitors can escape the city's hustle and bustle to immerse themselves in nature within the park's serene lakes and green spaces.
I went there as a backpacker, I don't have any vehicle to reach on the top to see the Lord Buddha statue. But they have Bus for Sight Seeing for 20 Bhat its very convenient and Time saver. I really appreciate that they have the facility. Special Thanks to the Staff at the Ticket counter.

A huge park with a number of large figurines. I think the figurines are related to the Buddhist religion. The view from the top, overlooking the town below is quite interesting. Be prepared to do a lot of walking and steps climbing. I would like to suggest that they have more seats/ benches for visitors to sit down and rest, as well as to enjoy the views.
Rahmah R — Google review
Walking into Hat Yai City Municipal Park feels like stepping into a vast green lung just minutes from the bustle of the city, ideal for someone who appreciates a moment of calm after busy days managing complex work. The park spans a generous area at the base of Khao Kho Hong and climbs up to viewpoints topped by a striking golden Buddha statue. From the winding paths, lakeside pedal-boat rentals, to the hilltop vantage offering sweeping views of Hat Yai city and Songkhla’s surroundings at sunset, it delivers both natural beauty and a little bit of spiritual ambience. The amenities include food stalls, a pavilion over a pond, and a network of shady gardens making it suitable for a relaxed afternoon or early evening visit.

Fun for kids and adults! Have a race. But don't crash!!! Be careful when boarding. Don't miss step. Go in the evening or morning, avoid hot sun. Pedaling could be tired, as it is not a smooth mechanism. Life jacket is rather uncomfortable while sitting down, though jacket is clean which is a plus.

Visited Hatyai Municipal Park with high expectations, but the experience was quite disappointing. The park is not well maintained, and there’s very little to see or do. It took a lot of time to get here, and once we arrived, it felt rather dull and uneventful. Be prepared for a lot of walking, including uphill climbs, under the hot sun with minimal shade. The weather makes the visit even more tiring, and I would not recommend this place for elderly visitors or anyone who isn’t comfortable with long walks in the heat. Additionally, the overall environment wasn’t welcoming—the locals around the area didn’t seem very friendly or helpful. While the view from higher points is decent, this park is best suited for a one-time visit if you're nearby. With better maintenance and hospitality, it could definitely offer a more enjoyable experience.

Great place to get bird’s eye view of the Hat Yai city. To get up there, you can take shuttle bus, cable car or drive up to the peak. About 10 mins drive up with slightly steep one or two curve. Plenty of parking spaces available at the top. Worth a visit!

Kho Hong Mountain vista point

4.5
(1830)
Kho Hong Mountain Viewpoint is a must-visit spot in Hatyai, offering a refreshing green landscape and stunning panoramic views of the city. Perched atop Kho Hong Hill, this viewpoint provides an excellent vantage point to capture breathtaking sights of Hatyai from above. The tallest Buddha or Guan Yin statue can be seen from here. With its maximum height reaching 380 meters, the hill also contributes to increased rainfall in the area.
Drive up the hill for 10 minutes, and suddenly you will find yourself at a beautiful viewpoint overlooking Hat Yai city and surroundings. On a day with good visibility, can see very far. There is a beautiful Buddha sculpture at the viewpoint, overlooking the city. Great place to visit and completely for free!

I always take a walk or jogging at this place. Fresh air in early morning. Convenient road, fully cover with a lot of trees like you're under nature blanket. The place is really safe even you are the woman who wanna walk alone. Sometimes, I went around 5pm and finished about 7 or 8pm. But still somebody walking there. If you plan to visit Hatyai, i recommended to visit this good view point in Hatyai as well.

Visited Kho Hong Mountain Vista Point during my trip to Hatyai, and it turned out to be one of the most peaceful and scenic spots I visited. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy a nice view of the city while escaping the hustle and bustle, this is definitely worth the stop. The staff at the area were friendly and helpful, making visitors feel welcome. They were approachable and willing to give directions or provide some basic information about the place. Even though it’s mainly a vista point, their presence made the visit smooth and safe. The environment here is very calm and relaxing. As you reach the top, the surroundings become quieter, and you immediately feel a sense of peace. It’s a nice place to sit down, slow down, and simply enjoy the moment. For those who like photography, it’s a great opportunity to capture some beautiful shots of Hatyai city from above. The view from Kho Hong Mountain is stunning. You can see Hatyai from a different perspective, with a wide panoramic view that looks especially nice during the early morning or late afternoon when the light is soft and the weather is cooler. It’s a perfect spot to take in the scenery and reflect. There is no entrance fee, and although there is no food or drink service here, the experience is more about enjoying the tranquility and the natural beauty. Overall, Kho Hong Mountain Vista Point is a great place to visit if you want to enjoy a peaceful atmosphere and one of the best views of Hatyai. It’s ideal for travelers who appreciate quiet moments, nature, and scenic lookouts. Highly recommended for a quick stop during your trip, especially if you want to enjoy the sunset or sunrise over the city.

Kho Hong Mountain, located within the Hat Yai Municipal Park, is a natural gem that showcases the beauty of Thailand's southern landscape. Its lush greenery, breathtaking views, and serene environment make it a popular destination for both locals and tourists seeking a peaceful retreat from the city's hustle and bustle. One of the highlights of Kho Hong Mountain is the opportunity for outdoor activities. Hiking trails wind up to the peak, offering a moderate challenge for nature enthusiasts and providing spectacular panoramic views of Hat Yai and the surrounding area. on the top there is also Buddhist temple with the Golden Buddha Statue seen even from very far distance. Another appealing aspect of Kho Hong Mountain is the sense of tranquility it offers. The park is well-maintained, with picnic areas and sculptures that contribute to a relaxing atmosphere. It's a great spot for families and friends to gather, unwind, and enjoy nature together. In my opinion, Kho Hong Mountain is not only a natural wonder but also an important part of Hat Yai's community. It encourages an appreciation for the environment, promotes physical activity, and fosters a sense of unity. As urbanization continues to expand, having such green spaces is essential for enhancing quality of life and preserving the natural beauty of the region.

Bon Khao Restaurant is situated at Hatyai Municipal Park, offering a stunning view of the city and a perfect spot to watch the sunset. The restaurant has been around for quite some time and is known for its deep-fried pork knuckle. While it may be slightly pricier, the food is considered acceptable with fast service. The open-air dining area provides a picturesque setting, making it ideal for enjoying a meal or capturing memorable photographs.
Love the atmosphere of this restaurant: the views, the natural surroundings, the decorations. Especially when the sun dipped into the hills, it gave us a great chills. Their staff were very friendly and polite, and they also have a singer performing live on the little stage. Not only that, their foods were seriously great with reasonable price.

Great hill view of city. Outdoor sitting available to enjoy hillside views but can be humid and mosquito also. But they do put stand fans around to reduce the evening heat. Pork leg just nice, flaky. Steam lime fish just enough sour and not spicy since we request no chillies. Prawns with petai was the best dish very flavourful. Kerabu mango also very good. Service were very polite. You can even enjoy live singing at night.

Mookata Paeyim BBQ & Hotpot

Meat dish restaurant

Mookata Paeyim BBQ & Hotpot offers a variety of set menus with a focus on pork, marinated in different ways. The meat is tender and juicy, perfect for pan-frying. The authentic Thai-style mookata experience includes a spicy and sour sauce that complements the well-marinated meat. The friendly boss speaks Mandarin and helps mix the sauce, adding grounded rice powder for extra flavor. With attentive staff and fresh ingredients, this family-friendly restaurant provides an enjoyable dining experience.
The food quality was absolutely exceptional. The BBQ was the best I have ever had, surpassing even the renowned Haidilao in both flavor and tenderness. Each bite was packed with rich, smoky goodness, and the meats were perfectly grilled to bring out their natural juiciness. On top of that, the restaurant went the extra mile by offering us free ice cream, adding a delightful finishing touch to an already fantastic meal. The combination of outstanding food, generous hospitality, and great ambiance makes this a place I would definitely return to.

Do not recommend coming here if you are a foreigner. Ate here a few times and service is consistently bad, the staffs choose to ignore you due to language barrier, again and again choose to serve local customers that came in much later and ignore you no matter how you try to call for their attention. Staff got angry after we asked where’s our drinks despite the later tables have gotten all of their orders. The staff quickly removed the empty plates and have accidentally poured all the raw meat water inside all our drinks and refused to replace. Bad service and attitude

Nice place. Many options of pans/hotplates, indoor and outdoor. Dipping sauces are ok, not very tasty or hot, but you can add more spices if you prefer. Hard to get parking though.

Was there early for dinner and likely we are the only tourist. Place was later filled with locals. Opted for the tom yum soup and it was mind blowing. Ingredients was fresh and boss was friendly (speaks fluent Mandarin). Staffs were very attentive too, always willing to help and make recommendations. Place is clean and plays great thai music. Lovely mookata experience from the origin and family friendly.

Samila Seafood 沙米拉海鲜

Permanently Closed
Seafood restaurant
Samila Seafood 沙米拉海鲜 is a popular spot offering an array of fresh seafood choices. You can select your preferred items from the showcase and have them cooked to your liking. The curry crab with a delightful dipping sauce comes highly recommended, as well as the Thai spicy squid. The prawn in curry egg is described as sublime, and the deep-fried sandfish is a must-try dish.
Got a bit pricier over the years, but service and food always top notch. The thai spicy squid is to die for. Keep that chilled coconut nearby. You will need it to calm the flames in your mouth. Prawn in curry egg was sublime, no one does it better.

A restaurant that offer cheap and delicious seafood varieties. Deep fried sandfish a must try dish. 1st time trying Southern Thai curry (gaeng som); very spicy and sour. All staff are nice and friendly.

I already come to this cafe. Its very comfy and cosy places. The food very edible and mouth-watering. The owner very friendly and talkative 🥰.
Fajar F — Google review
it's located about 3.2km from Hatyai Clock Tower. Beside the Caltex Station . It's a clean, Halal restaurant with a lot of choices. Communication is quite difficult. I did try their Hawaiian pizza🍕 which I can say it tasted superb nice and crispy at the edges. American fried rice was above average. Lasagna spaghetti with cheese is something different compared to Malaysia. Need to improve on their drinks. Overall 7/10
