Hajj Travel Warning Hat Yai, Krabi and Narathiwat Airports

[Stocky]

It's the start of the Hajj, so if you're using Hat Yai airport between 26 July – 2 August 2017 and then again 12 – 22 September 2017 allow extra time for travel. The lucky Hajjis that get to go are seen off and then greeted back by most of the village; so there are many hundreds of well wishers crowding the airport. They make a day out of it and take a picnic too, so the carparks are full, the security check lines for vehicles entering the airport and then again security at the doors to the airport are all long.

 

Similarly Krabi and Narathiwat Airports put on special Hajj flights so will also be busy during this time.
