Some nitty gritty information about Hatyai. Hope that it is useful.

Budget sex:

Mandarin Hotel and the apartments above Lucky Tour. Similar to Ocean Hotel in J B. Each girl occupies a room. Rates are about 300 bahts per session. Condition of rooms not ideal but once in a while you may find a 'gem'.

Health:

For those health conscious, they can get a complete check-up for about 500 bahts at Hatyai Lab, which is near Kosit Hotel. Full blood and urine tests with computerised results in about 2 hours with full explanation in English. New and disposable needles are used. However, you abstain from food (except plain water) for at least 10 hours. The same tests in Singapore will cost a few hundred dollars.
