Thailand hatyai, Santisuk Market, Kim Yong Market, Red Planet Hotel

It's a short trip to Thailand - Hat Yai. It's the distance that is short. Our boarding time was 1320hrs and the flight took 1 hr 20 mins which was 10 mins early.

Not at Hat Yai. It found at Singapore Aiport.

We have tried 3 hotels in this 4 days 3 nights trip. All of different categories. According to agoda * rating:
Map Point 1. Red Planet Hotel - 3*
Map Point 2. Gets House - 1 & 1/2* (top right on map)
Map Point 3. Centara Hotel Hat Yai - 3 & 1/2*




At airport arrival hall, you may be told to book your transport/taxi at the counter. There were many driver waiting outside airport as well. Regardless which you choose, be remind the rate is 300 bahts.

About 20 mins, we reached Red planet Hotel (previous name as Tune Hotel). I was in red to give support and perhaps able enjoy discount or free Thai massage - "tan gu gu" (wait long long).

Pros: Staffs friendly, room clean and spacious. Thai Odyssey massage (need to book in advance for massage) beside lobby.
Cons: No complimentary drinking water, no glasses, no fridge, no toothbrush/toothpaste. 

This hotel (SGD31) is not the nearest to shopping malls (Odean/Lee Garden) but just about 10 mins walk away. The map above will help you be clearer where is the location and what you can find in the vicinity. Some of the attractions recommended which are nearby will be Santisuk market (area circle in red) and Kim yong Market (Dark Green). These market you can find foods/DVD/clothes/Mobile phone accessories,sunglasses,etc. For those like shopping mall (Lee Garden Plaza/Odean). But you MUST visit Central Festive and Asean Night Bazaar. 


(Below) Santisuk Market shops (Vertically). There are still many shops horizontally.

Kim Yong Market. The food along the main road in this shop (above) is great. Simple and cheap, yet delicious! This was my heaviest breakfast, noodle soup + chicken rice. (190 bahts - two noodle soups+chicken rice+kopi+tea)

You can try more street foods here in the evening (below). 
Early morning here will be used for wet market.



I love this ginger soup with beancurd - thick aroma.
