  • This is not dangerous or anything, just a warning that if you walk around Hat Yai you will get a lot of attention from the massage places in town. There are lots of them and every one has many employees. A foot massage costs 250 Baht an hour. I actually think this is quite expensive when you consider that there are millions of Thais who make around this amount in a day and work 12 hours or more. All the massage places have clubbed together though and through this cartel system keep the prices high.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Smelly Fruit
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • As is the case in many Asian countries, you will find that lots of places will not tolerate the eating of durians on the premises. Eat your smelly fruit elsewhere.

  • Hat Yai - Issuing a Parking Fine

  • ... the scourge of motorists across the world.

    Although it may appear that on Thai roads there are no rules or regulations the Thais are pretty hot on parking fines. Like everywhere else, I guess this is a good (and easy) source of income for the local authorities.

    Watch out where you leave your car if you drive to Hat Yai.

     well you may be right to a certain extend however I have been to pattaya and Bangkok, this is the price for foot massage, some even offer 300 - 400bath, so this quite normal
