fast and good service! also, very delicious dim sum. not very authentic but still sooo good
I was in Hat Yai for a day and went out to find food in the morning. I saw that Good Luck Bak Kut Teh was very unique according to the reviews, so I walked over to have breakfast.
The place to order food and the lobby are different from each other, and the waiter will assign seats. Take the seat number to order food, and the dim sum is made to order.
The variety is similar to Cantonese dim sum, but the taste is slightly different. Bak Kut Teh and white rice are a perfect match.
It is worth a try.

Jackie Chan Noodle House in Hat Yai is a very good noodle house in the area. I don't know if it has anything to do with the movie star Jackie Chan, but the rice noodles or noodles here are really good. It is also very famous in Hat Yai, with many customers, and it is worth everyone to come and taste it.
Jackie Chan Noodle House is a small noodle house opened by Hong Kong movie star Jackie Chan. Don't be fooled by its small size, as the noodles here are very famous, with many varieties and not cheap. Fortunately, its reputation and taste are very good, so it is still worth a try.

#創創塵計劃分萬萬现金 Hat Yai is a city in Songkhla Province in southwestern Thailand
1. Geographical location and transportation
• Hat Yai is located on the Andaman coast and borders Malaysia. It is one of the largest seaport cities in Thailand and the transportation center and economic hub of the 14 provinces in southern Thailand. It is known as the "heart of southern Thailand".
2. Culture and attractions
• The majority of Hat Yai residents are Thai Chinese, mainly Hakka and Teochew people. Therefore, there are Chinese temples and associations everywhere, and the shop style also tends to be Chinese.
3. Food recommendations
• Hat Yai's food is rich and diverse. Here are some must-try delicacies:
• Jiraphat Restaurant: Hat Yai's signature restaurant.
• Best Mango Sticky Rice in Hat Yai: A great choice for mango sticky rice, sweet but not greasy, and super taste.
• Me Melon: Desserts and drinks are great.
• Cheevit Cheeva and Jibchanaisuan: Dim sum shops, the taste is worth a try.

I've been here twice, the taste is always good and the service is excellent.
First, let me briefly introduce "Hat Yai" → a small Thai county town close to Malaysia 🇲🇾, so there are many Malaysian Chinese tourists here, but rarely Chinese tourists. The cost of taking a taxi is very low in Hat Yai. The average price of taking a taxi is within 6-10 RMB. The average price of eating is 35-55 RMB per person. It is very good. ✔️ The average price of hotels is basically 200-400 RMB ✔️ So I recommend you to come here to eat and drink for a vacation ✔️

1️⃣Krua-Pa-Yad
Hat Yai local affordable authentic restaurant, recommended curry crab meat fried eggs🦀
A great tool for eating (in Hat Yai, you really have to worry about gaining weight), and you can try kale fried roast pork😋
2️⃣Good Luck Dim Sum
A delicious restaurant that opens early in the morning and is crowded with people😋
All the snacks are raw, and you can choose them by yourself. After choosing, they will be steamed on the spot for you to eat😍It is invincible and delicious✔️You can't eat such delicious snacks in China. Don't think that the store is ordinary and don't go to eat‼ ️
3️⃣Lee Garden Night Market BBQ stall
This BBQ stall has been in this night market for many years and is super famous. People go there just for the BBQ😍It is better than many high-end restaurants, crispy and fragrant😋
4️⃣Old-fashioned authentic duck noodle soup🍜
Close to Lee Garden Night Market, you can find it by navigating or wandering around👀The soup base has a strong ginger flavor and there are several noodles to choose from😋
5️⃣Qiu Ge Pork Trotter Rice
Soft and tender😭Super good with rice🍚Eat-in is much better than take-out❤️
6️⃣Cheevit Cheeva Hatyai
Shaved ice😍Dessert-obsessed! Must-try for summer heat relief!
7️⃣Owl Milk Tea🧋
This is very economical and has several branches. You can use Grab to order takeout to the hotel‼ ️No need to look for it yourself‼ ️
8️⃣Jok Songkhla
Their pork porridge 🐷 is very delicious😍It is also a store near Lee Garden‼ ️ (I have to say, there are so many delicious small restaurants near Lee Garden Night Market, and there are surprises everywhere)
9️⃣Wengzi Ice Cream
Fresh egg yolk with ice cream🍦Yes! It is fresh raw eggs! Unexpectedly delicious! ! ! !
-
If you want to ask me why I don’t recommend attractions⬇️
The main attraction of Hat Yai is "unexpectedly delicious"😋If you have to go to the attractions, you can take a taxi or drive 40 minutes to Songkhla Lake Park + Songkhla Zoo for a walk. If you go a little further, you can drive to the beach🏝️But in fact, that place is no longer part of the urban area of Hat Yai. When you come to Hat Yai, the main attraction is that you don’t want to move every day, and you can enjoy life by getting a massage everywhere🥂

The roast pork is crispy and delicious. The kueh chutney melts in your mouth. You must try it when you come to Hat Yai
Hat Yai is a small border town between Thailand🇹🇭 and Malaysia🇲🇾. The cost is very low, and there are many delicious foods and drinks. It is worth visiting📷It is basically full of Malaysian tourists, and you can't see many Chinese tourists‼ ️Now introduce it to everyone‼ ️ (There are many flights from Bangkok to Hat Yai every day‼️)
-
1️⃣The city of Hat Yai is very small, and a hotel for 200-300 per night is already very OK‼ ️Of course, there are some hotels that sell for more than 400, but they are all very old hotels, located on the main street🏨I personally think it is unnecessary...
2️⃣Lee Gardens Night Market and Green Way Night Market must be visited. The former is really delicious, and the latter is more shopping-like and has a good environment😋
3️⃣The massage shops around Lee Gardens are average, and a foot bath is quite OK. 200 baht per hour and 400 baht for two hours are the average market price. The popular massage shops with good environment will definitely be more expensive, but not as expensive as Bangkok‼ ️
4️⃣You can go and have a drink at AWAY COFFEE☕️
5️⃣Mother Cows, a popular milk shop, opens at 11am. In addition to fresh milk, there are also fresh breads. The shop will add butter and cream to make desserts. They are very light and sweet and delicious😍
6️⃣The city is not big, it is very suitable for Citywalk to walk around and take a look. If you are tired, you can take a Grab taxi back to the hotel🏨
7️⃣It takes about 15-20 minutes to take a taxi from Hat Yai Airport to the city. You don’t need to book a car in advance. Just take a Grab taxi when you land‼ ️
8️⃣Good Luck Dim Sum Bak Kut Teh → Must go‼ ️Steamed snacks made to order, super reasonable💕Super delicious💕30rmb per person to eat as much as you can😋
9️⃣Qingjie Pickled Cabbage and Pork Intestines→Old shop‼ ️Go early in the morning‼ ️If it’s 11am, there’s a high chance that there won’t be any pork intestines‼ ️Go even earlier on weekends‼ ️Locals love this restaurant‼ ️

1️⃣ Good Luck Dim Sum
58/25 Lamai Songkrew Rd, Hat Yai
A local super old store, 35-45RMB per person to eat full, Cantonese-style tea and snacks are steamed on the spot, they are really raw and placed outside for you to choose, which is amazing😋

Channiwate 3 Rd, Tambon Hat Yai, Amphoe Hat Yai
A very famous store for fried pork feet, many locals🍴
3️⃣ Jackie Chan Noodles
167 Sangchan Rd, Tambon Hat Yai, Amphoe Hat Yai
7:00-15:00. Please note that it closes after 3pm. Come early to eat noodles. You can eat a lot for 35RMB per person😍
4️⃣Nanyuan Wonton Noodles

5️⃣Dham-ma-daa
ถนน Soi 4 Klongrien 1 Rd, Hat Yai District

6️⃣Krua Reuan Thai
Thailand, Hat Yai,13, Soi 23, Kanjanavanit Road
Closes at 8pm. Orders are no longer accepted at 7:30pm. If you want to eat, go early😋It feels like a small courtyard in front of the store. It is a very nice and exquisite restaurant. It is worth checking in😋
7️⃣Lee Garden Night Market
A delicious night market that you can go to without thinking. You can eat at the snack stalls in front of McDonald's. They are all exquisite (except sushi, which I don't recommend)
8️⃣Greenway Night Market
A large market is suitable for tourists who love shopping❤️
The dining environment is also specially planned. The taste is a bit commercial. It is definitely not bad. Some are a little delicious, but not so delicious that you want to go back and eat again.

Hotels in Hat Yai, 200-300+RMB💰 already have pretty good accommodation‼ ️The city is small, and taking a taxi in the city with Grab is basically around 60-100 Thai baht, which is equivalent to 10-20 yuan, which is very cost-effective😂
Because it is close to Malaysia, there are many tourists there, all of whom come to eat. On the contrary, there are very few Chinese tourists, and few people know that this place is so delicious😍😍😍Highly recommended to everyone❤️
