Yun Yong Market, Hat Yai, Thailand

Video Description

All tourists visiting Hat Yai know about the Night market, Gim Yong, Suntisuk and Greenway markets, etc, but there are other markets that are less well know. This is one of them. It's called Yun Yong (ตลาดยรรยง) and it sells mainly second-hand clothes, although many other used goods are sold at the market. Like all flea markets around the world, even if you don't buy anything it can be quite a fun place to wander around for an hour or two.

It's open three days a week on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday but get there early. It starts at 6am and closes around noon.

The market itself isn't shown on Google Maps, just a few individual shops inside the market. The following is a link to We World hotel, which I featured in the video and is located within the market site.

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.
