Aiyoh if you don't get girls from KFC Farms then you want to fish from Massage Parlours, Agogo Bars or Clubs meh?
Can be time consuming and produce no results you know?

That's why Dannok is damn bored if I stay more than 2 nights.
Dannok is more suitable for hit and run cheonging.

Report from The Nation dated 10 March 2014 :-

Study of Bahasa Melayu gains popularity in South ahead of AEC

Bahasa Melayu has emerged as a popular choice for foreign-language learners in Thailand's southern region, with the Asean Economic Community (AEC) era set to begin next year.

A Songkhla-based language institute has had a very warm response from both students and working people after it launched Melayu courses.

"Language classes are not just about English, Korean and Chinese anymore," said the institute's executive, who spoke on condition that his name would be withheld.

When the AEC materialises next year, all 10 Asean nations will see the free flow of labour and products. Contacts among the Asean peoples, therefore, are expected to increase.

Muslims in Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Brunei speak Melayu. A number of Thais, mostly those living in the country's South, can also speak Yawi - a dialect of Melayu widely used in their hometowns.

"Students are keen to take the Melayu courses because Thailand shares its borders with Malaysia," said the executive of the foreign-language institute.

South-based employers are also keen to train their employees about the Melayu language, so as to boost their business opportunities, he added.

State schools have not stayed idle in the face of the AEC's upcoming implementation, either.

For example, Ban Nam Krajai School in Songkhla's Muang district has already started Melayu courses for both children and adults.

"So many firms have booked our Melayu classes. Our teachers are experts," said the school's director, Prateep Petchjamras. "We teach pronunciation, communications in everyday life, and more."

The courses are designed to ensure that learners can communicate practically in Melayu ahead of the AEC, he added.

Ban Nam Krajai School has received support from the Romchatra Foundation and the Quality Foundation in implementing the "Asean Community Model Promotion" project.

Participating schools in the project, such as the Bangkok-based Wat Traimit Witthayaram Worawihan School, have set up Asean-related centres to provide useful knowledge to children and other people needing to prepare themselves for the AEC.

Songkhla Tour Guide Association president Kul Sunthornwijit said a good command of foreign languages gave a person an advantage in the tourism industry.

"When we take care of Malaysian tourists, most of the time we don't use English. Most Malaysians speak Melayu," he said.

He said that with the growing importance of Melayu, his association had signed an agreement with the Songkhla Skill Development Institute in organising Melayu courses for tour guides and tourism operators.

Nipon Boonyamanee, chairman of the Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organisation, said it was necessary for Thais to pay more attention to Melayu.

"We have now prepared short courses, educational visits and overseas training to equip our staff with the Melayu knowledge," he said.

Assoc Prof Sukree Hajisamae, dean of the Faculty of Science and Technology at Prince of Songkla University's Pattani campus, said his campus now attracted more attention from parents because most of the students had practical Melayu-language skills.

"We have organised a variety of activities, including educational visits and overseas internships, to boost our students' confidence in using the English and Melayu languages," he said.

Actually there is many activities to keep you occupied during the day.
The common ones are the massage parlours and casinos.
Can visit temples or mosque for prayers and blessings.
For the sporty types.... can go pond fishing, have a Muay Thai session to workout, go hill trekking, shooting range or wild boar hunting.
They used to have all terrain vehicle rides years ago but I do not know whether it is still available. Can ask around if you are interested.

If you have more time to spare..... can take the 90 min ride across to Malaysia for tandem parachuting or microlight flying.

Going solo 21 March..fm Bkk to Hatyai..probably stay Hatyai 1 nite.
22 March take a van go Penang. 23 March return to Danok and stay 2 nites.

Since its been a long long while since I came to Hatyai ..and never before Danok..guess I will have fun finding my way.

I like travelling blind..find things out for myself. When I travel..I never ever make hotel reservations..just go with flow.

But this thread has given me some pointers and I thank all who have given info here.

Just leaves me to say that on dates 21..23 to 25 if anybody want tcss with me I would be happy to go along. Cheers

I wouldn't call them casinos as they are more like gambling dens. Similar to those types that use to be very common in Singapore back in the 70s. Before Danok became the bustling nightlife town now.... it used to be more well known for its gambling dens and contraband stuffs.

Yes yes...... in the 70s when you cheong Hatyai...... you stay in Hatyai for the puyings and go to Danok (at that time call Sadao) for gambling.
