I recommend this to those who want to find a new travel destination other than the obvious and crowded tourist destinations. Hat Yai is a city in southern Thailand and has been a city with developed transportation and education since ancient times. It is a place with a fairly high proportion of Muslims among religions, and unlike most cities in Thailand where Buddhism is strong, you can experience new scenery and culture.

πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡­ Thailand's largest mosque

Hello, today I would like to introduce the largest mosque in Thailand.

Many people would think that Thailand is a country close to Buddhism. In terms of religion, Buddhism is the most popular, but the further down you go to the south of Thailand and the closer you get to the border with Malaysia, the more Muslim religion is.

So, the largest mosque in Thailand is also located between the southern Thai cities of Hat Yai and Songkhla. Many Thais and Malaysians come to see this mosque.

The scenery around the mosque is also relaxing and good, so there were many people who live nearby who came out for a picnic or run

πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡­ Park with the best view in Hat Yai, Southern Thailand

Hello, this time I would like to introduce you to a park with the best view in Hat Yai.

This park is a short drive from downtown Hat Yai, and the locals living in Hat Yai often visit to exercise and watch the sunset and night view.

It was a large and beautiful park that could be enjoyed by friends, couples, families, and people of all ages.

πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡­ Hat Yai Night Market in Southern Thailand Recommended 1

Hello, today I would like to introduce you to one of the night markets in Hat Yai, a city in southern Thailand.

This is a night market that consists of a system where you pay by charging a card that is only used here. The advantage is that it is neat compared to other night markets because there are food booths in the building.

Outside the building, there were booths selling clothes and receiving nails, and there were various things. Compared to other night markets, it felt like a complex cultural space.

That's why it felt like a lot of young people were visiting this place. The low prices were also an advantage. Another feature of this place is that the tableware is arranged separately for Muslims and non-Muslims, and alcohol is prohibited.

πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡­ Hat Yai Night Market in Southern Thailand Recommended 2

Hello, today I would like to introduce the second night market in Hat Yai, a city in southern Thailand.

It's called Kim yong market, and when I saw the name, I thought it was related to Korean people, but it wasn't. If the Greenway Night Market I introduced earlier was a popular place for young people these days, this place was famous in Hat Yai from the beginning.

It's not a neat and clean feeling because it's a night market with vendors spread out on the street, but you can feel the atmosphere that usually comes to mind when you think of a night market.

One of the best night markets I've ever been to in Thailand.
