The beautiful city of Hat Yai

My friends and I visited the rich city of Hat Yai. We used Nok Air to Hat Yai. The airline's services were exceptional. There was free WiFi and snacks at the airport while waiting for our flight. The flight was very smooth, and the cabin crew was friendly and quite helpful. At Hat Yai, we went for a ride at the Hat Yai cable car station located in Hat Yai Municipal Park. We also had a unique experience at Hat Yai floating market, tasting and sampling grilled and fried insects. We also had time to watch a bullfighting session, one of the popular sports in Hat Yai. Hat Yai is a city with many fun-filled activities. I liked my stay at Hat Yai.
