Kho Hong
Few places in Songkhla Province have a history as closely tied to the growth of Hat Yai as Kho Hong. This urban district spreads around the foothills of Khao Kho Hong, where dense development meets drainage canals, roadside vegetation and lower slopes west of the city centre. Prince of Songkla University’s Hat Yai campus, Thailand’s first university in the South, gives the area an important educational role. Kho Hong is also home to Hat Yai Municipal Park, a hilltop public space with religious monuments and lookouts over the city. Its streets reveal a residential, everyday side of the Hat Yai conurbation while remaining closely connected to one of southern Thailand’s principal commercial centres.
