Overview

Lee Gardens Plaza is one of downtown Hat Yai's longest-established retail landmarks, combining a ground-floor and podium shopping plaza with the Lee Gardens Plaza Hotel occupying the tower above (reported at levels 10 through 33), plus conference rooms, an event hall and wedding-planner services. Located at 29 Prachathipat Road in the heart of the old downtown core, it sits within easy walking distance of Kim Yong Market and Suntisuk Market and close to Hat Yai's railway station — making it the practical, central alternative to the newer, larger Central Hatyai mall out on Kanchanavanich Road.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Lee Gardens Plaza a mall or a hotel?Both, in the same building. Lee Gardens Plaza's ground floor and podium levels operate as a shopping plaza, while the Lee Gardens Plaza Hotel occupies the tower above (reported at levels 10 through 33), plus conference rooms and event/wedding facilities -- a combined mall-and-hotel format common to several older Hat Yai landmarks.

Where exactly is Lee Gardens Plaza?The complex sits at 29 Prachathipat Road in the heart of downtown Hat Yai, within walking distance of Kim Yong Market and Suntisuk Market, and close to the railway station area.

How does Lee Gardens Plaza compare to Central Hatyai?Lee Gardens Plaza is the older, more central option, in the traditional downtown core near the railway station and Kim Yong Market. Central Hatyai (CentralFestival Hatyai), opened in December 2013, is the newer and larger mall on Kanchanavanich Road toward the southern edge of the city. Residents typically use Lee Gardens for a quick downtown errand and Central Hatyai for a fuller shopping or cinema trip.

When did Lee Gardens Plaza open?An exact opening date for the shopping plaza is not consistently published across official or travel sources at the time of writing; what is well documented is its long-standing role as one of downtown Hat Yai's established mall-and-hotel landmarks, well before Central Hatyai arrived in 2013. We flag this rather than guess a specific year.
