Hat Yai Events Calendar
Covid-19 Virus
The worldwide panic over the Covid-19 Virus that started in 2020 has resulted in most events in Thailand being cancelled. If you are interested in attending any of the events listed in these pages, check news sources first to confirm that the event is still taking place. If I hear about any of the events below being cancelled I will post an update, but I cannot guarantee that the information on this website will always be correct. Too many things change and I am simply too busy to be constantly checking things.
Events
A number of events take place in Hat Yai and nearby Songkhla throughout the year. These may be Buddhist festivals, Thai national holidays, fairs, or shows. Some are aimed at the locals, while others are more geared up for tourists.
For many events the exact date changes each year. Buddhist holidays and the Chinese New Year are based on the lunar year. Alternatively, an event may start, for example, on the second or third Monday of a particular month which will be a different date every year.
If you happen to be in Hat Yai while an event is taking place it may be worthwhile going along to take a look.
Caveat
I'm afraid that I haven't got time to find out about every single event taking place in Hat Yai. However, I will update this page as and when I find out about things. Most of the information here comes from signs I see as I drive or walk around Hat Yai. If you know of something that's going on, please let me know and I will add it here. If you notice any mistakes, please let me know.
Some events listed below may not have dates because I don't know the date yet. I will add dates when I find out.
I will try my best, but I can't guarantee that the information here will always be correct. An event may be cancelled, the date changed, or I may have made a mistake. If you plan to attend one of the events below, please confirm the information first using other sources.
