Flashermac Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Thais go to Hat Yai for the black market goods from Malaysia. Malaysians go up for the MPs. Overall pretty tame compared with Bangkok. There were a few gogo bars in Songkla - may still be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habisboy Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Happening place is Danok on the border; much more lively than Hat Yai Hat Yai is more a weekend destination for Malaysian tourists these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooNoi Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 For sanook, you're much better off going to Songkhla. Nice coastal area, nice beach. Stay at the BP Samilla Hotel. Good seafood there too, and a MUCH nicer atmosphere than Hat Yai which is pretty grotty. No gogo bars there, but there are a few beer bars in an area called "The Dark Side" which is isn't very appropriately named - not much dark about it, and in a safe area! Lots of pissed oil rig workers there if you go at the wrong time though, and they can be pretty hard-core partiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar4 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 No gogo bars there There are I believe - not far from the Dark Side. But very quiet indeed. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooNoi Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Ok.. thanks Mark. Never saw them in my travels down there at all. Must be VERY quiet! Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 My O & G buddies are probably the ones legless in that part of town. They go beyond the call of duty if you know what I mean! Hat Yai though is a pretty lame scene overall for 'action'. But the bars and clubs aren't too bad for casual hanging out in and seeing what's what.
