In terms of tourism, Hat Yai mostly attracts Asian tourists, particularly from Malaysia and Singapore. Western tourists tend only to visit on their way to somewhere else. Hat Yai is a major transport hub for travel between both Malaysia and the lower west coast of Thailand, including Koh Lipe, and destinations further north in Thailand. Hat Yai has a major airport, busy railway station and a large bus station. From Hat Yai you can travel direct to most destinations in Thailand and wide range of international destinations across Asia. You could travel direct from Koh Lipe to Bangkok, but in fact you are better off financially and in terms of choice travelling to Hat Yai first and then taking a bus, plane or train from there to Bangkok."}, {"text_idx": "#000120", "text": "If you do need or want to spend the night in Hat Yai then the liveliest part of the town to stay in is in the area near the main railway station. This area has lots of hotels and restaurants, as well as a few Western style bars. The main tourist street in Hat Yai City, the Saneha Nusorn Road, is in this area. The Saneha Nusorn has several shopping malls, including one with a branch of McDonalds, lots of fish restaurants, and the Pink Lady Entertainment complex which offers messages and other services mostly to foreign men."}]
