Please visit this temple at the early morning, cost at noon time. The stainless steel will be very hot after absorb the heat. My family love the environment.

The temple has a very unique architecture, a pagoda made out of stainless steel rings. It is also called Stainless Steel Pagoda / Temple. The ground level of the pagoda has various statues and murals that seems to tell different tales of Buddha (all description are in Thai, and I don't know much about the tales of Buddha either). The upper level has wind chimes installed, the sound it made when the wind blows is so tranquil and serene. I really enjoyed the peacefulness from the wind chimes. You'll need a chartered transport to get there - the pagoda is in the middle of hill / forestry. We chartered a car thru Grab (the Uber of South East Asia) for 4 hours, and visited the "Big Buddha" at Hatyai Municipal Park before coming over here.

At first, we were not sure if it's worth to drive up the hill to see another pagoda. We decided to go after watching a YouTube video showing the craftsmanship of the stainless-steel structure, and all the details that went into the creation. Thankfully we did go, it's absolutely unique and very nice. Best of all: it was not crowded at all. despite being a Sunday and Hat Yai City bursting full of visitors from Malaysia. Entrance is free

It is not easy to make one’s way to Phra Maha Chedi Tripob Trimongkol without private transport. The best option to visit is by chartering a tuk-tuk. Negotiate the fare as it could go as high as ฿800 (return). Always be reasonable but make sure that your tuk-tuk driver understands that he is to drive up the hill and not wait for you at the base of the hill! Your tuk-tuk driver will wait for you and send you back to the city, so your fare has to cover his waiting time as well. Pay him only after you get off the tuk-tuk in the city, or at an agreed destination. A visit to Phra Maha Chedi Tripob Trimongkol does not require too much time. However, once you are there, you would want to stay longer to enjoy its tranquility, especially on the upper level of the pagoda. Do bear in mind to dress appropriately when visiting temples and wats in Thailand.

Special design. Must go visit at least once. Harmony environment, but reaching this location is kinda dangerous, not recommended for people who don't have experience driving on a narrow road.

Approximately 2.2 km uphill from the main road. You must rent a motorcycle, a cab (driver) or walk up and down hill yourself. No cab or other public transport passes through here, unless you booked them in advance. The temple is located at the top and the road ends here. Quite a fascinating structure built almost entirely with stainless steel. It has writings and drawings on the inside walls but no english translation, all in Thai. To be able to understand the story written and drawn would be nice. Looks interesting.

A magnificent stainless steel temple on top of a mountain. Windy and chill atmosphere. Good for family visiting.

No entrance fee is required. The pagoda is located at the top of the mountain; there is road access, visitors can drive up to the mountain. Visitors are required to remove shoes for entering the pagoda. The pagoda is built with stainless steel, beautiful architecture and unique on its own.

Relatively impressive temple made entirely of steel. The journey here is abit long (30min) from the main town with windy road to the top of the hill. Visit it in the evening till dark for the temple to light up. It's a beautiful sight to behold. The journey back would be along a darkly lit road but its not too bad. If u have the time, do take an effort to visit!

Hill road needs to be careful. Overall view is nice, please walk carefully cause it’s very slippery. The view is nice and amazing. Worth a visit !

No entrance fees. Nice temple to see the amazing stainless steel works but is quite a dangerous road leading to the temple, if you are driving up yourself. Very calm place. A lot of Tourists visit here in every weekend. I went in the afternoon but very windy and comfortable. Structure are one of a kind, never seen anything building with all stainless steel. Spend around 1hr here.

One of the biggest shopping mall in Hatyai, Once you are inside Central Festival, you have everything you need and there is no need to leave. Most restaurants are located on floors 4 and 5. If you want to eat inexpensively there is a Food Park on Floor 4. You won't find any Michelin rated restaurants at the Food Park, but the food isn't bad and it's fairly cheap. On Floor G in front of TOPS supermarket there is another food court and you can also buy ready-to-eat food from TOPS, which you can then eat at one of the tables in the food court. In 2019 a number of shops disappeared from floor G and were replaced with food stalls, making the food court on this floor quite a bit larger than before. Quite a few food vendors are Muslim, therefore the food is Halal and there won't be any problems for Muslim visitors.

The Central Festival Hat Yai is a huge and well-designed mall with a wide variety of shops, from high-end brands to more affordable options. The food court has a great selection of local and international cuisine, and the prices are reasonable. There are also plenty of other dining options scattered throughout the mall. The was clean and well-maintained. The parking lot is spacious and there were plenty of spots available.

💢 This mall offers a wide range of retail stores, from popular fashion brands to electronics and home goods. It’s also houses a variety of restaurants and food stalls, providing plenty of dining options. ‼️ At the ground floor, there is a food court where you can try the local delights. During peak meal times, it can be quite challenging to find a seat to dine in. Despite the seating difficulties, the tasty and reasonably priced food makes it worth a visit.

Beautiful decorations with Christmas vibes. Mini train for kids is the main attraction here. Lots of people so parking needs time.

Central Festival is one of the biggest shopping malls in Ampoe Hat Yai. You can find everything you need here. There are cineplex, Fun Planet, Food Park, supermarket (TOP), restaurants, cafes, beauty products, handphone shops, camera shops, food & fruit stalls. Halal food is also available here.

This spacious mall is comparable with those big malls in Bangkok. Think because there is no competition in Hatyai, the foot traffic here is quite good on a normal weekday afternoon ( could be due to the hot weather when it feels like 40 degree celcius during early April).

Best department shopping store ever. Good place for your chills.

A big shopping haven.. Tops supermarket is well stocked. Got lots of street food available too. Spent a few hours in here to escape the rain. The Christmas vibe is vibrant now

A big and modern shopping mall. It's not far away from the Greenway night market. There are a lot of famous brands here. You can find outlets stores and some local brands here too. The toilets are located only at the end side of the mall which is not so convenient. Also, not much trash can is available in the mall.

Hiden gem , there are lots of snacks inside the mall , n your favourite store “ gentle woman “ 😀. Love the raw prawns salmon , it’s so delicious

I was there in December 2023. The Christmas decorations were up and it was magical. An incredible shopping mall. Was there to have dinner. But there were so many restaurants and eateries of many nationalities to choose from.🫶🏼

Central Festival Hatyai, totally not recommended for a tourist like me. Its just a big shopping mall with a lot of shopping brands, but there is not souvenir shops. They have foods stalls at the lower ground, i love the traditional kuih but TORO Fries definitely not worth to visit. And for me, the foods there is a little bit pricey and limited to compare with the markets. But, if you're looking for aircond and easy access to toilets and surau, yes it is recommended. I'm not recommending the TORO Fries since the process took too long. Limited machine and the workers also love to joke around to each other. Even tho there was a short queue, unfortunately 7 people before me already waited for almost 2 hours for their orders.

The biggest mall in Hatyai with variety of shops. Worth to visit even if you’re a tourist as they have selections of goods that couldn’t be found in other night markets. Could be considered a convenient one stop spot for tourists if the markets are closed.

An extraordinary and beautiful supermarket, high level of security and make sure citizens of 🇲🇾 don't forget to bring at least 1 passport. Security will check the boot of your vehicle. The mission of finding parking is quite challenging. Various viral food menus are also available in this supermarket. Clothing boutiques also offer economical prices.

Big and grand carnival mall with many branded outlets. Of course with this prestige mall you have to pay extra VAT for your purchases. You can easily spend a whole day here shopping and patronizing the foods. Don't forget to check the food stalls at the basement with many delicious offerings for your taste buds.

The mall is huge and tidy. Good place to spend the night in Hatyai beside their famous night market. The food court and food section located on Ground floor is great. Many ranges of Thai food halal and non halal also. Best place to shop till you drop from cosmetics all the way to household.

A great place to shopping and the upper floor have variety of foods. Friendly reminder: If you're going to ASEAN Night Bazaar during peak season, it will be very packed with tourists. It is nearly impossible to have your meal at the upper floor. Alternatively, you can buy the foods there and eat at the ground floor. There's plenty space to eat and less crowded also.

an interesting place for visitors especially from Southeast Asian countries. This area has interesting places to take pictures, shop for goods, clothes, gadgets, handicrafts and souvenirs. while the upper floor has a special area to buy food and drinks that may be difficult to find elsewhere. most of the food served is also delicious and halal. for those who want to relax and take the opportunity to take pictures can visit the back area of ​​this bazaar.

nice place with great tasting food. the place is quite busy with a lot of visitors during school holidays. You need to cooperate with your travel partner if you want to dine there.

Plenty of Thai food, but need to careful. Try do not but food which cooked and leave it open.. as I brought some...its cause me diarrhea n vomiting. Try to buy food which they cook on that time.

Good food and offers a variety of items sold, mainly clothes and bags. A tourist spot and quite pack during peak hours. Better choices than Lee Garden Night Market.

I came here at night for dinner. Lots of food stalls upstairs. There are not enough places to eat, so many people are struggling to find tables to sit on. The food is very tasty. I get myself daging salai and sup ekor. Feels like I cannot get them at other places. Downstairs are places to shop for clothes, bags, souvenirs. Also there is a money exchanger at the front

Prices are not cheap and the vendors hardly bargain.It was different in the past, I guess post COVID, everything changed, they seems not interested to sell their products. Probably moving towards fixed price sooner or later.

Visited to get a quick dinner. Found a very delicious ayam merah stall. The chickens are very tender and juicy. Slightly sweet flavoured, and matched very well with the green noodles or the rice. 50-60 baht each are enough to fill my stomach. Seats are full but you can find empty seat if you roam around. Make sure to throw the paper plates and cups in the prepared bins.

Food and clothing are cheaper compared to other night market. Food stalls are upstairs and everything is delicious. But it was quite packed full of Malaysians there if you go during holiday season. I went by foot cause stayed at guesthouse near the Bazaar. Overall, will come back again just to eat.

Uptown like pandan uptown jb. Selling various clothes and attires. After exhausted wandering around can step up to higher level to have vast option of thai cuisine. Please note that no bidet in the toilet.

The food arcade on the 2nd floor offers a variety of delicious Southern Thailand Malay cuisines at affordable prices. There is one stall selling oysters at a considerably cheap price. 10THB for small size and 20THB for big size. There is also one stall selling giant river prawn (udang galah) at a cheap price. 1st floor mostly selling souvenirs like t-shirts, hats, etc.

Market that sell lots of dry food, clothes and so on. Good for bulk shopping and if you can bargain really well, this is the place for you. Along the street you can find some shop selling fruits and roasted chestnut. You go in further, you will find more nuts, clothes, shoes and bags. Everything is cheap, as long as you know how to bargain. They just started operating again about a month or two following the pandemic.

Visited this market as it is famous for tourists. Big place but mostly selling same stuffs like dried goods, nuts, fresh fruits. Not much shopping. Worth a visit for the fun of it but no need to cater much time here.

Kim Yong Market good place for buying snacks, souvenirs and clothes in Hat Yai. Not too far from the train station (9 min walk)

Very busy wet market (indoor and outdoor) during daytime. The street vendors sell local farm produce mainly from fresh produce to dried goods. A lot of street foods and snacks by the road side. Just too many to choose until one could not make up their minds. Some food stalls take over from evening onwards.....

Great and charming place to buy food and convenient daily items. Traders will pester you to buy their goods due to competition but still respectful of personal space. Would definitely recommend for travelers to come here to at least soak in the unique atmosphere if not buying something.

As a Malaysian, best spot to purchase edible souvenirs. Especially dehydrated fruits & vegetables snacking, pistachios, almonds and other similar nuts. Most of the vendors speak and do understand Malay language. A must visit spot in Hatyai.

You can find many fruits, nuts and clothing stalls within the market. A one stop location where you can get most of the goodies but it get really warm inside and most stalls are selling the same thing. I would highly recommend a fried chicken stall right outside the market, along the road.

A market you can find fresh fruits, chickens, fishes, dried nuts, kitchen utensils, toys, candies, shirts, cover (Sarung). I have found a hidden gem place for noodles and good iced Thai milk tea. It's somewhere near New Kim Yong. Highly recommend their noodles

Come and take a look. We visited on a Monday morning. Quite a number of people here. Many things to see to buy and to eat. We bought cashew nut here yums!

It really depends what you are looking for, it's kinda like morning market and they have tonnes of stalls inside of the Kim Yong building which selling almost the same thing, e.g nuts, dried fruits, anchovies, dried shrimps and comparing the price on the street, the stall inside the building price is cheaper and you can haggle price all the way through, I'm not a fan of this but if you are, this is the place for you. At the main street of the Kim Yong Market there's where the famous Kaitod Meena is located, the stall there, the price of the nuts are more expensive. I will not return personally. 😅 It still might be a good choice to stroll around in the morning at Hatyai City.

Local marketplace for you to come and shops. Must remember to negotiate the price. It's usually cheaper than what you expected. It's hot here, if you can please bring along the small portable fan with you.

Local food stuff market. Great prices, able to haggle prices slightly. Very Thai culture

The market is big with a lot of items from toys, cloths to daily sundry goods are available. There are a lot of nuts are on sales, 500 THB for 3 packets which you can mix the varieties. Of course you can fin a lot of street food stalls along the road too. Again, road side parking space is limited.

This grilled butter white sugar bread is located at Kim Yong market. You may need to ask the locals for the exact location. The bread is sweet and very fragrant. At Kim Yong market, you can see a lot of local food and can also go shopping here since the price is cheapest. Dried food & a variety of nuts can be found here.

Kim Yong Market is a large and busy market located in Hat Yai, Thailand. It is a popular place to shop for souvenirs, clothes, food, and electronics. The market is divided into two sections: the wet market and the dry market. The wet market is located on the ground floor and sells fresh produce, seafood, meat, and poultry. The dry market is located on the upper floor and sells clothes, souvenirs, electronics, and food. Kim Yong Market is a great place to find cheap souvenirs and clothes. However, the prices are not always the lowest, so it is important to bargain. The market is also a good place to find imported snacks and dried fruits. Here is my review of Kim Yong Market based on the reviews I have read: * **Pros:** * Wide variety of goods for sale * Cheap prices (if you bargain) * Good place to find souvenirs and clothes * Open late * **Cons:** * Can be crowded and chaotic * Not always the lowest prices * Some vendors may be pushy Overall, I would give Kim Yong Market a 3 out of 5 stars. It is a good place to find cheap souvenirs and clothes, but it is not the most organized or tourist-friendly market. Here are some tips for visiting Kim Yong Market: * Go early in the morning to avoid the crowds. * Be prepared to bargain. * Bring cash, as not all vendors accept credit cards. * Be aware of your surroundings and keep your belongings close. I hope this helps!

Came here in the morning. Good morning sun. Busy hustle and bustle street market vibes. Varieties of local produce and food available here.

Lively morning market with so many things to buy. If you wan to buy nuts, dried fruits and snacks, head into the Kim Yong Complex to get the best prices. Sellers can speak mandarin or Malay so easy to ask prices. Many are friendly. I got quoted De-shell Walnut 1kg@600b Cashew Nut 1kg@380b Dried Jackfruit 1kg@500b Chilli cuttlefish 0.5kg@550b

The experience of going to this market is quite exciting because there are different types of food. Muslims have to be careful when buying because there are also stalls that sell non-halal food. Too much variety of food. This includes a menu of dancing live shrimp and tanghulu. Viral food is also plentiful here. The overall price is reasonable. For coffee lovers can try The Black In Black which is at the end of the market and next to Starbucks. The area is quite dense and parking is a little difficult.

Super touristy market that caters to mostly Malaysian taste buds. Think of it as your local wet market with Thai language and you’ll get this Kim Yong market. Not that there’s anything wrong with it.

Pretty nice place to stop over. Air-conditioned with café. Don't miss the 40 mins magic show. Wise to get the combo ticket Overall is quite entertaining.

Fun place for the family. The 3D Art now incorporates AR, and the pictures come to life now. The museum is quite informative, and they do have a cafe that serves simple meals and fresh bakery items. There is a in house illusionist, Black Crystal, and they run show 4 times a day. Pre book your tickets for a confirmed showing. Otherwise, the shows only run if there is a min of 10 customers. Parking is ample

A good place to visit in Hatyai especially for the kids. It's good fun taking various pictures. The new augmented reality feature added made the experience more exiting. They will help you to download the app to use the AR feature.

We were only small group of 7 people so we did not get magic show and only 3D exhibition disappoint we did not see anything

We have the usual 3D art with AR. It’s a bit pricey for the number of 3D pieces. The magic show is good but most of its magic is shrouded in darkness therefore making the illusion not very convincing. Good to pass some time and taking photos and having fun

Good place to spend time especially if come with family/friends. This place has their own app to make the 3D pictures comes alive. Cool and interactive. Also, the magic show was enticing and amazing. It was a top notch magic show with pigeons and cards and also some comedy which keep the show really entertaining. Enjoyable for all adults and also children. Definitely recommended for tourist that plan a visit to hatyai-songkhla.

The magician has world class trick that you will absolutely no idea how he does it. Until now no idea. The flying handkerchief

We have awesomely exciting fun here, the 3D and 5D are so fun, the illusionist magic show is definitely the best in our trip to hatyai, everyone is totally amazed by the Magician Crystal, so proud of this magical world.

Be aware you need 10 people for a magic show but the illusion 3D and AR is available at all times and very fun! We spent 3 hours here with two kids under 5 and had lots and lots of fun! They also sell cheap magic tricks for kids and adults and they teach you how to do it.

Truly nice Magic Museum. Pretty and nice place. Good performance from Black Crystal. Combo package for an adult is 550THB. Watch the magic show👍👍

Nice place to have some fun with the 3D photos and VR. Although I felt that the price of the tickets were a tad expensive.

Magic show. I didn't enter just for my kids to watch the show. Large lounge for waiting area

Overall ok. Just a little bit pricey. I love the 3D arts, especially because it has motions when using the dedicated apps. I tried the 5D, well, can try it if you have young kids and extra time and budget. To me, this part is so so

Nice and very good magic show. A must go point in hatyai

Nice 3D paintings and amazing magic show! Great place for elderly and kids! Do take note that the magic show can only be performed for at least 10people !
