๐ข Terminal Information
Hat Yai International Airport operates from a modern single terminal building that serves as the primary gateway to southern Thailand's Songkhla province. The terminal features a straightforward layout with walking distances of 3-4 minutes from check-in to gates, making connections manageable despite the airport's smaller size. Immigration and security processing can vary significantly depending on international charter arrivals, particularly during peak tourism seasons when Malaysian and Singaporean tourists visit nearby attractions. The terminal offers basic amenities including a small duty-free shop, several local food vendors serving southern Thai specialties like khao yam (rice salad), and limited seating with charging stations. Ground transportation options include metered taxis to Hat Yai city center (15 minutes), motorcycle taxis for budget travelers, and rental car services primarily serving business travelers. The airport serves as a convenient alternative to Bangkok for travelers heading to southern beaches like Songkhla, or continuing overland to Malaysia. During monsoon season (October-December), flights may experience delays due to heavy rainfall, so travelers should plan buffer time for connections. The airport's location makes it an ideal entry point for exploring both Thai and Malaysian border regions, with cross-border transportation readily available.
