ห้างสรรพสินค้าในหาดใหญ่ ไม่มีเคาท์เตอร์รับฝากกระเป๋าเดินทางค่ะ น่าจะเป็นเหตุผลด้านความปลอดภัยค่ะ

Not recommended to park car overnight at Central festival.Better to park at own hotel and travel to Central festival by Tuk Tuk.

Well, Hatyai main source of income is tourism, you can depend on its local security. You won't see much police, but overall the city is safe to travel and move around. Local People (with english speaking skill) were polite. Very rare I heard tricky people on the street to cheat foreigner. For shopping, only 3-5% of shop owner will be rude if you hard bargain...haha The only thing you need to aware is very cheap night club and very cheap accomodation. Make sure you get local recommendation (people you personally know) before you visit or stay those places.

I would say not very close, around 20 mins. I assume u r talking abt Big C Extra on Phetkasem Rd, which is to the north of town, whereas Central Fest is to the south of town.

There is no attached hotel but you can stay at Aloha Hotel, Diamond Plaza. Asian Hotel & many more. There is so many hotels to chose.

No Naraya shop in Hat Yai at all. Bangkok has the most Naraya shops and some in Hua Hin, Pattaya and Chiang Mai

Any free return shelter bus from Central festival?

No, unless you are a hotel guest

Hi Reen, Central Festival has a Tops supermarket at the ground floor. The tuk-tuk ride is 20baht. Make sure they do not charge you more than 20baht as the tendency is to overcharge you at 30baht. If I may suggest, my family and 1 ( 5 of us ) took a tuk-tuk from Central Festival to Tesco Lotus to get our cheaper stuff there. Suggest you try this as the price of tuk-tuk form Central Festival to Tesco Lotus is also 20baht. Have a great trip!
