We'll be in Hat-Yai for Christmas this year, and I wanted to take my family out for a meal, so they don't miss the usual Christmassy-food and fun, Can anybody local recommend anywhere, hotel or restaurant or bar, that's planning to put on a special meal or buffet for a reasonable price ? Thanks !

Oh, and Merry Christmas to all !

Check out the Novotel hotel (top of the Central Dept Store) they usually put on buffets for all the major holidays.

The Novotel Christmas Dinner is on Christmas Eve, they don't do Christmas Dinner on Christmas Day.

The Swan Pub on Thamanoonvithi Road does Christmas Dinner on Christmas Day but you need to book.

Thanks very much for the info !

Any other places...?

Not that I know about, we've not many farang in Hat Yai and I don't really know how our Chinese Christian community celebrates Christmas, but I don't think it extends to turkey and brussel sprouts!

It was worth a try. I'll be on location on Christmas Day. Might head for the cabaret...

Pleased to report that the turkey & sprouts at 'The Swan" were good, and the genuine UK-sourced Christmas-pudding excellent, thanks for the tip !
