For many people, whenever you mention Thailand, they would undoubtedly picture the ambiance of attractive places there, such as Hat Yai. It is even claimed that Hat Yai is the go-to place for finding delicious delicacies. This place is the perfect for food hunters!

Malaysians who reside in northern states, such as Kelantan, may have some experience travelling there. They may have inside information, especially when it comes to saving money.

However, a lot of people still haven’t had the chance to visit Hat Yai and don’t know how to budget their spending to make the trip as affordable as possible

So if you are planning to go to Hat Yai but don’t know how, no worries! Here is a simple guide for you to go!

Methods of travelling

There are 2 methods for you to choose if you are planning to go there. You can either take the bus or the train!

The first method you opt to use is the bus. You can directly take the bus from Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) and it will take you directly to Hat Yai Bus Station.

Tickets will cost RM70 and will take around 8 hours. If you are planning to take the bus, the best time to go is at night time. You can sleep throughout the 8 hour journey and wake up feeling refreshed and ready to go explore Hat Yai!

But if you taking the bus in the morning, the bus will make multiple stops at the R&R stations along the way.

The second method that you can decide to use is taking the train. Taking the trains requires you to make a few more steps than taking the bus.
