Thailand (Hatyai) Jan 2019 - Part 1

Once in Hatyai - Always in Hatyai
My 8 or 9 visits to Hatyai

For the past 10 days, having visited Bangkok, Sukhothai, Chiang Mai & Chiang Rai, it was time for our group to head back to Hatyai by taking a sleeper train departing Bangkok at 15.30 and expecting to arrive in Hatyai at 05.25. Due to a Malaysian public holiday (Thaipusam) which falls on Monday 21 Jan, all the KTM train tickets from Padang Besar to KL Sentral were sold out on that day, so our group had to put up 2 nights in Hatyai ! 

The Bangkok train arrived in Hatyai Junction station in the early morning at around 06.00 and our group took a morning walk & checked into The Aree Hatyai Hostel (a family room for 6, ensuite).
