Mini Bangkok with less hassle. Give it a whirl and then, after you've had your fill, take a ride to Songkhla and chill out.

Hat Yai....two thumbs down. Nothing there. Avoid it like you would the plague.

Hat Yai is ok. Nice getaway for Malaysians.

Agree, it's a mini BK. Good night life there. Good eats. Good shopping. Thing is business has been very bad since the bombings. Many people look a little suffered these days. The restuarant where I work is not near HY but about 70% of the staff are new arrivals to our community. They all tell the same tale: no work there.

If you go there, Jon, you could camp out at gum's place .. free.

I spent a weekend down in songkhla a few years back. Flew to Had Yai and was only there for a day. Nice little town with a few westernish bars to hang out in......got lots of Malay influence and interesting markets to potter about in.

Well...There's no "big beach"

I've spent a couple of nights in Had Yai (almost 8 years ago now). I thought it was quite cool, actually. I was on a visa run with a mate, and we ended up in this Wild West-style bar, which had a live band. Then we went to this nightclub place which was dark as my soul, with the loudest music ever. It sold Chang in jugs.

It was cool.

Good for the supermarkets, cinemas, and Sizzler...restaurants ain't a patch on Songkhla's otherwise.

Lovely place, has all one needs. Beats the boring nightlife in Songkhla. But was always nice to return to quiet Songkhla after a couple of nights hadyai.

My matey taught down that way. He enjoyed it. Enjoyed cavorting with Malaysian girls on vacation too.

Not suere what its like after the bombings but the times that I've been out in had yai, in terms of wild-and-craziness beat Bangkok into a cocked hat. The waitress were selling joints and speed, the sexy vocalist for the Thai bad on stage suddenly whipped off her top to reveal a second completely transparent top underneath, beer jugs and whisky bottle magically appeared on the table and most of the clubs stayed open till 6 a.m. and beyond and you could even then run down to pink lady after all this and get the cleaners to ring some lasses up to share a hot tub with ...

Happy Days.

Also got one of the best lays of my life there.
