"A vast varieties of street food.
The taste is flavourful but i guess it is tasty because it is unhealthy.
Very congested and little space to consume food or walk along between the food street stalls.
The food stalls sellers were like not very interested to do business.
The vibes of a walking street to buy for food/ items is good.
It was very warm even walking in the night.
Lastly, the food is not cheap for tourists and it is very expensive for the locals."

"The Hatyai walking street is just right in front of the Lee Garden Plaza hotel. There are many food carts and stores along this stretch of road. Like most night market, most of the items are repetitive. I did try some of the food from these foods and tasted alright."
