Discover the secrets and fascinating history of the iconic Clock Tower, the beating heart of Hat Yai.
As it is a public monument located in a roundabout, it is open **24 hours a day**, every day of the year. You can stop by whenever it best fits your itinerary without worrying about closing times.
The visit is **completely free**. There are no ticket booths or admission fees, as it is an urban landmark enjoyed from the public street.
It is a quick visit; around **10 to 15 minutes** will be enough. That is the perfect amount of time to admire the architecture, take some spectacular photos, and continue your tour of the city.
It is an iconic symbol of Hat Yai’s urban development and a very popular meeting point. Its design blends modernity with traditional Thai aesthetics, representing the beating heart of Songkhla Province.
I strongly recommend going **at night**. The tower has a color-changing lighting system that creates a visually striking contrast you cannot fully appreciate during the day.
Yes, the tower can be viewed from the surrounding sidewalks, which are generally flat and paved. However, caution is advised, as sidewalks in Thailand can sometimes have obstacles.
You are just a few steps from the famous Kim Yong Market, ideal for buying imported snacks and clothing. You are also close to the lively city center, full of street food.
Be careful with traffic, as the tower stands at a very busy intersection. For the best photo, use a tripod—or a very steady hand—at night to capture both the illuminated tower and the light trails of passing cars.
