Where Should YOU Stay In Hat Yai?

Video Description

The best place for someone else may not be the best place for you. The only way to make a decision is to understand what different areas are like and then you can decide for yourself. That's what I've tried to do in this video. Feel free to ask questions if you have any.

I've used mainly maps in the video which are 1920x1080 pixels in size. The video is therefore better viewed on a computer, rather than a phone.

I didn't include the Chee Gim Yong area in this video because I covered it in a recent video, but that is also an area where many people like to stay in Hat Yai. There are just so many hotels and accommodation options in Hat Yai that it's impossible to cover even a tiny fraction.

How I Book Hotels In Thailand And Elsewhere

Having lived in Thailand since 2003, I have booked many hotels while travelling around the country. Occasionally, I have spent an enormous amount of time trying to find the best deal. However, I almost invariably end up booking through Agoda. Not only are Agoda rates almost always the lowest, but it is a company I have learnt to trust over the years. In 2023 there were stories about another large online hotel Booking company (whose name I won't mention) who failed to pay accommodation hosts and whose customers turned up at hotels to find that they did not have a reservation. I have never had any such problems with Agoda, and the few minor issues I've had have been dealt with efficiently by their customer service representatives.

Agoda is a company I trust and recommend. Use the following link to book your next hotel room!

Disclaimer. I am an Agoda affiliate and will receive a small commission for any completed bookings that are made through my links. However, I only promote goods and services that I am happy with and use myself.

Are You Interested In Learning How To Read Basic Thai?

Being able to read enough basic Thai so that you can negotiate menus and read signs is incredibly useful, and it's not that difficult. It's not like Japanese or Chinese, where you have to remember thousands of characters. Like English, it's just consonants and vowels. Yes, there are more characters than English, but phonetically Thai is a lot more consistent. English vowels and vowel combinations change sound in different words (cough, rough, through, thought, bough, etc). In many ways, Thais is actually easier to learn than English. If you are interested, try the tutorials on my other YouTube channel. With some effort and dedication, you will be able to read quite well after around six months.
