It took us 8 minutes walk from Central Festival Shopping Centre to this night market. The night market is a very lively one with many muslim tourists who came from Malaysia, I guess. There are many stalls which sell mainly clothings at level 1. There is a food court at level 2 that spoils you with many choices of local delicacies. However, there are many people than seats for you to enjoy the food. We enjoyed shopping and eating at this lively night market.

Located close to the Bus Terminal, do pay a visit to this mall before leaving town. They have free shuttle bus going to/from Central Hat Yai ❨opp Lee Gardens Hotel❩ downtown. This mall just feels like any other CentralFestival in the country, but wayyyy better than other malls in Hat Yai. There are two foodcourts: one on the ground floor as you enter and the other on the top floor. I preferred the one on top floor as there are more choices and operate on a cash card basis, not to mention the view of Hat Yai. They have some southern Thai food, which is a blend of central Thai and Malay food. Unforgetable. If you have a lot of time to spare, there is a cinema and skating rink here. Tips: unlike the malls in Bangkok, the security here do search your bags, so I suggest to travel light if you could. If you couldnt wait for the free shuttle bus back to downtown, there are plenty of songthaew ❨most pass by Kim Yong Market downtown, 10 Baht❩ and tuktuks outside. Or just Grab a taxi. Happy shopping.

I have been shopping at Dlana since I was 10 years old! This is the oldest mall in town. I love walking from Radyindee 9; traveling from my house and having a magical experience every time I went there. I was always excited to see new things there, and so far they never disappointed me. With the vast variety of foods and sale items, and the fact that they have been here the longest, I believe they have the best deals in town! I used to go to KFC and Pizza Hut constantly when I was a little girl. Now I live in New York, but this mall has a place in my heart, and whenever I'm in Hatyai, I have to visit here. S&P is my favorite place to go when I visit, since they're a very traditional Thai which I love. I keep hearing of new food selections opening up, and I'm always excited to check it out every time I go! Their service is also very good. I called them about a membership card (The D Card). The operator was very cordial, nice and helpful. If you're a tourist, you can get the membership card too! All you need is a passport. P.S. I have a scar on my right leg because I got too excited running up the escalator when I was a little girl, haha! ????????????
