Christmas Lunch Hat Yai or Songkhla

[Southern Exposure]

Hi all, looking for advice on options for a sit down lunch xmass day in either Hat Yai or Songkhla.

 

Seafood and a little bit of traditonal roast would be ideal, but open to ideas.

 

A mix of Aussie and Thai adults and children.

 

Thank's in advance.

Sorry but there's not much on offer, Christmas isn't really celebrated here in Hat Yai and there aren't sufficient western expats to generate enough interest for restaurants to offer a Christmas lunch or dinner. Especially when the 25th falls midweek.

 

The Saneha restaurant in the Centara Hotel used to do a traditional Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve, but I think that's stopped. I think The Swan still serves a Christmas lunch/dinner on Christmas day, but you need to book; they try their best and it's not a bad attempt, but it's often memorable for the wrong reasons. 

 

To be honest you're just better off doing what we do, which is just go out for a good meal (not Christmas themed). I would strongly recommend you abandon the idea of finding turkey and all the trimmings, you'll most likely be very disappointed.

 

As for Songkhla I don't know, never spent Christmas in Songkhla Town, no doubt there will be places that try, but I doubt you'll find anything of note.

 

Remember, if you do find something then please post back to let us know!
