Hat Yai
Southern Thailand's largest city and its commercial hub, Hat Yai draws cross-border visitors from Malaysia and Singapore for its dense concentration of restaurants and cafés. The city sits close to mountains and serves as a practical base for onward travel to the region's beaches and islands, including Ko Lipe, or further south toward Malaysia and Singapore. Though often mistaken for the provincial capital — that role belongs to nearby Songkhla — Hat Yai is the economic engine of the south.
