Hat Yai International Airport is located 13.5 km by road from Hat Yai city centre and 41.6 km from Songkhla town centre. Travellers with an early flight from Hat Yai International Airport, particularly those travelling from islands such as Koh Lipe, may well wish to consider staying the night before in a hotel near the airport.
1st Closest Hotel: Tachang Resort

- Distance by road to Hat Yai Airport: 1.7 km
- Star Rating: 2 star
- Price: from 810 THB per night
Tachang Resort is a 15 room hotel with an onsite restaurant and bar. The 20 sqm standard double rooms are well furnished and represent good value for money. The rooms are all contained within a three level accommodation block accessible by a shared balcony. The hotel offers pre-paid airport transfers for a fixed price of 100 THB per person.
2nd Closest Hotel: Southern Airport Hotel

- Distance by road to Hat Yai Airport: 3.2 km
- Star Rating: 3 star
- Price: from 1,188 THB per night
The Southern Airport Hotel is the most luxurious of the hotel close to Hat Yai Airport. The smallest room size at this 64 room hotel is a generous 30 sqm. The hotel has two swimming pools, a restaurant and a coffee. They also offer free transfers to the airport. Although the most expensive of the 5 hotels nearest the airport, in terms of the rooms and the facilities it is probably the best value for money.
3rd Closest Hotel: 2uhotelhatyai

- Distance by road to Hat Yai Airport: 3.8 km
- Star Rating: 3 star
- Price: from 699 THB per night
This newly built 57 room hotel is relatively inexpensive but has very poor facilities. There is no onsite restaurant and the rooms are poorly decorated. For slightly more money you can find much better places to stay nearby.
4th Closest Hotel: Dusita Grand Resort

- Distance by road to Hat Yai Airport: 9.9 km
- Star Rating: 2 star
- Price: from 765 THB per night
The Dusita Grand Resort has very nicely furnished rooms inside small detached bungalows. The rooms are great, but the downside of staying here is that you really need your own car. The resort has no onsite restaurant and is some distance from any shops or restaurants. The resort is very popular with people travelling by car to or from Malaysia and ideal for this type of guests. The Dusita Grand Resort is less appealing to visitors without their own transport wanting somewhere to stay overnight before a flight.
5th Closest Hotel: Ps Sriphu Hotel

- Distance by road to Hat Yai Airport: 13.5 km
- Star Rating: 3 star
- Price: from 635 THB per night
The Ps Sriphu Hotel is a newly built 79 room hotel, which is closer to the centre of Hat Yai city centre than it is to Hat Yai International Airport, although not close enough to be within walking distance of any restaurants or shops. The hotel serves breakfast but no other meals and charges 140 to 190 THB per person for a transfer to the airport depending on the time. The hotel is a good standard, but you find better hotels in Hat Yai city centre along with places to eat and drink in the evening within walking distance. The trip from the city centre to the airport is not much longer than the journey from the Ps Sriphu Hotel to the airport.
