Hat Yai
The city of Hat Yai, 900 km (560 mi.) south of Bangkok, plays an important role in the commerce of southern Thailand since it lies on the main trading route between Thailand and Malaysia/Singapore. It is also famous for its batiks and beautifully woven silks and woolen textiles, and is the location of the national Rubber Research Center, where peasant farmers are taught growing techniques for rubber production.
Known as the Gate to Malaysia - the nearest frontier crossing is 52 km (32 mi.) to the south - Hat Yai is an important rail junction at the point where the two lines from Malaysia to Bangkok meet.
