This is continuation from earlier post Hatyai Day 1.

We checked in to our hotel, Merlin Hotel around 5pm after finished shopping at Nora Plaza.

The hotel is below satisfactory level. The hotel itself is looking a bit worn and is probably in need of a refurbishment fairly soon. Cleanliness is still acceptable but the design all I can say is a bit 'outdated'.

For dinner, we was offered Sky Buffet at Level 33, Lee Gardens Plaza.
