Located in southern Thailand near the Malaysian border, Hat Yai is the prime travel, shopping and commercial hub for Thais. It is not as famous or pretty as Bangkok but the city has its own charm. It is a popular tourist spot for Malaysians and Singaporeans and very few western people. Movement around the town is easy and cheap by both motorcycles and cabs. There are also Airbnb vacation rentals and hotels available for those wondering where to stay in Hat Yai.

If you want to experience Thai food and local life, Hat Yai is the place to go. During the day, old men sit on rickety chairs as they watch the day pass and come evening, pubs and clubs come to life. Night markets are also a popular way to explore Thailand in the evening. Listed below are some of the best night markets for you to check out during your trip to Hat Yai, Thailand.

While this night market is situated 20 minutes from Hat Yai town, it is more advisable to head there by private means. There is a large parking space. It is called a floating market because the shops and food stalls are boats on the riverbank. It is an ideal spot for travelers looking for souvenirs, traditional Thai items and Halal food. Their food is tasty and fresh and the prices are affordable. During rainy seasons, the water levels are high and so the floating boats won’t be available. However, there are stalls upstairs with great food, designer clothes and much more!
