Expenditure

Flight & 3D2N hotel  = RM362 per person

***

As usual, we each give 1000 THB to the persons in charge of meals and another 1000 THB for transport. Therefore, PICs each held 4000 THB (1000 THB per person).

The numbers below reflects meals and transport spending average for 4 pax. We deduct the total spending then divide the balance equally for return

Transport = 1900 THB (475 THB/person)

Spa = 7000 THB (1750 THB/person)

Food = 2000 THB (500 THB/person)

Sim Card + top up = 189 THB/person

Souvenirs = 50 THB

Total Expenditure in Hat Yai = 2964 THB/person

Personal cash brought = 4760 THB*

*Actual spending is slightly more because it's a birthday trip so things like flight, hotel, spa and cakes we divided between only 3 of us

So 3 days 2 nights all inclusive in Hatyai should cost you about RM700 per person.

Notes

• Airport transfer - 200 THB/person
• Tuk-tuk within town - between 20 to 50 THB/person
• Day Tour to Songkhla - 1400 THB/car (we got 1000 THB for half a day)

I must say Hatyai is one of the cheapest destination I've been to. It may not be for everybody but if you love food and Thai massage, you should visit. Nightlife in Hatyai can be as wild as the crazy stories you've heard but it can also be as lame (I mean, tame) as you wish. Go with likeminded fun people and enjoy!
