Not far from the Malaysian border, Hat Yai is southern Thailand's urban hub. The city is quite popular with Malaysian tourists, but it remains off the beaten path for those from the West. As one of the most important business centers in the south of Thailand, the city offers excellent shopping in the form of both Western-style malls and busy local markets. A visit to the city also isn't complete without taking a ride in the cable car at Nakhon Hat Yai Park, sampling the delicious Cantonese and Thai street food, and experiencing the vibrant nightlife.
