I called you Khun Hatyai as you knew all the holes in Hatyai. Your information is really help all cheongster here.

Can we meet up? I should be there on 6th of Jan. Then will be in Chiang Rai for 4 days to do the annual event i.e. "balik puying Kampung".

Please PM me if you are OK to meet up. Happy new year.

My pleasure to meet up with you or anyone.

6th is on a Friday. If you're coming by flight in the night, I can always pick you up. (Sorry, early morning flight, I can't as I need to send my kids to school.) Don't worry, no charge if you don't mind sitting in a pick up.

Check your PM for my contact number.

Typically thai food especially for breakfast & dinner.

Thanks man.

Papercut

Thai food for breakfast in Hatyai is seriously difficult. Hatyai is so influence by Singapore/Malaysian that breakfast is now Ba Kut Teh, Porriage, Noodles, Tim Sum, etc, etc.

Unless you buy some fried or BBQ chicken together with Sticky rice and eat inside your room.

Dinner is OK, but not necessary food stalls but coffeeshops that are frequented by Thais. Also some famous food that you can try are fish porriage or fish soup with rice (behind Pink Hotel), Duck Noodles, thru a lane infront of Regency Hotel, Kuay Chap, in front of Ambassador Hotel, etc. Not necessary authentic Thai food, but more Chinese food with Thai influence.

Anyway, when you have confirmed your trip dates and closer to the dates, then let me know and I can advise you again with more specific details.

Cheers
