About Travel to Hat Yai
Hat Yai is a popular destination for tourists from Malaysia and Singapore, but not so much for visitors from Europe or North America. What attracts Malaysian and Singaporean holiday makers is large numbers is the closeness of the city to the border with Malaysia, the shopping opportunities, restaurants, inexpensive hotels and the nightlife, which in some establishments is a little more exotic than is permitted in more culturally conservative Malaysia and Singapore.
Hat Yai City
Hat Yai itself is not one of the Thailand’s more architecturally attractive cities. Hat Yai grew very rapidly from a small settlement into a thriving city of over 160,000 people from 1924 onward when Hat Yai Railway Station opened. Most of the city’s building are concrete with a very functional design.
The amenities for foreign visitors, as opposed to tourist attractions, are very good in terms of hotels and restaurants serving foreign food. Hat Yai has four notable Western style bars, all close to each other, which serve food and alcohol: The Swan, Lion Bar, Westside Saloon and Post Laser Disc Pub. These bars are all within a short walk of the main train station.
