Caution
Hey everyone,
I'm new to the forum. Currently considering moving out to Hat Yai to teach. I've never been to Thailand before so am trying to get as much info as possible before making the final decision to move out there. I don't seem to be able to find much about Hat Yai and was wondering if anyone on here could help me out?
Many thanks in advance,

Makethemove: Caution
Beware. First, you have not been to Thailand before. Tropical paradise. The heat is incredible, almost beyond belief. Serious cultural differences. Far too many pro's and con's to list in a single post. I suggest you spend a great deal of time browsing through this forum. Use the search thread and search forum tools to find answers to specific questions.
Read the following thread: "Moving to Thailand in 3 Years" on page 2 of this forum. Specifically read "canamoms" 30MAR12 post.
Also read these two threads in the Basement lounge section: "26 year old moving to Thailand, would appreciate advice" and "Advice needed from experienced people".
As far as Hat Yai. Hat Yai is located in the seriously troubled lower three provinces on the Malaysian peninsula. Over the past several years significant terrorist activities have resulted in loss of life.
