  • Wat Hatyai Nai is the site of a large reclining Buddha measuring 35 metres long, 15 metres tall and 10 metres wide... Named Phra Phuttha Mongkhon, it is the third largest reclining Buddha in the world...

    Go around behind and inside the large reclining Buddha there is a curious shrine and mausoleum. Around the walls inside are hundreds of cubbie holes. Each one of the cubbie holes contains the ashes of a deseased person. Some have photos of the occupant and other details such as the date of birth and death.

    Inside the mausoleum there is a fortune telling device. Inserting a coin (5 or 10 Baht) causes the wheel to spin round. When it stops spinning the pointer will stop on a number. On either side of the machine are numbered shelves with fortunes inside written on pieces of paper. Take one that corresponds to your number for a highly accurate summary of the rest of your life.

  • The temple is known for its park-like setting and numerous different Buddha images. You may also have your fortune told or receive a blessing. The grounds hold a school for young novices who enjoy speaking a few words of English with visitors.

  • Besides ancient massage, the next popular activity is foot reflexology... You can have it anywhere in the shopping district, with standing signboard along the 5-foot ways... An hour massage will cost you about 250 baht... It can be quite relaxing as well as painful experience (ie only if you have some bodily ailments that can be revealed by the massage, so they claimed)...

  • Termed Nuad Phaen Boran in Thai, it is translates as Ancient Massage or Traditional Massage... Most good masseurs are trained from Wat Po in Bangkok where there is a traing school of this art... The Thai Ancient Massage is an extraordinary method of aligning the energies of the body... Starting at the feet and progressing up to the head, the client’s body will be moved, loosened and stretched... It can be a hard massage and may be painful if you are not used to it...

    For maximum benefit, you should have at least two hours for the massage...

    Directions: You can have this massage at any entertainment complex, massage centre or hotel... In Hatyai, there is the Pink Lady Complex and Chaophya4...

     Wish you can be more specific on the prices in baht like price of some dishes. Passed this place before it looks like the pricy kind.
