Hat Yai, is one of the famous city in southern Thailand and it near the boundary to Malaysia. It located around 60+ km from the Thai-Malaysia immigration.

Compare to the first time i visit here, it has a lot of changes in Hat Yai. This is a very fun trip since i came here with my buddies. After take almost 9 to 10 hours bus from Pudu, KL, i reach the Hat Yai city after pass the immigration check.
