    Hat Yai may be a familiar name to many Northern Malaysians, but not so much to the other parts of Malaysia and Singaporeans. Why? This is because for Malaysians living in KL, Malacca, Johor for example, it is more convenient to fly to Bangkok or Phuket than it is to go to Hat Yai.
    As a Malaysian living in Penang, Fran has been to Hat Yai numerous times over the years, with friends and ex-colleagues. To the Penangnites, heading over to Hat Yai for 1-2 nights stay is pretty common.
    In this video, we will show you the beauty and wonder of Hat Yai, a southern town in Thailand that borders Malaysia.
    If you are new to this channel, we are Fran and John, the Corporate Breakout Couple. Fran is Malaysian and John is Singaporean. We broke out of the corporate rat race in Singapore and retired early in year 2020 at the age of 40 years old. We love doing cost of living videos from countries all around the world and early retirement videos, to inspire and motivate people to get out of their comfort zones and go for their dreams!
    We hope you enjoy watching this video, and do let us know in the comment section if you like it!
    With lots of love - Fran and John

      @@renong9173 yes! Roads were clear all the way from Penang to Kedah. We also cleared the border into Thailand within 10 mins with all the paperwork and the roads from Sadao to Hat Yai was smooth with few cars on the road. An extremely pleasant drive overall. It does help that we went in on a weekday and we started our journey early in the morning.

      Hatyai is small, so right smack in the city centre is ideal.
