Sky Buffet at Lee Garden Plaza Hotel, Hatyai

Lee Garden Plaza’s Sky Buffet  is actually listed as one of the must go/do if you visit to Hatyai… perhaps it’s because it’s cheap… only THB 169. It was previously THB 139, THB 149 and now, THB 169. Located at the tallest building in Hatyai, on the 33rd Floor, you get to enjoy the view of the Hatyai city. Lunch and dinner are at the same price, perhaps same spread as well.

Well, it is not the best spread or any luxurious buffet spread, but with only THB 169, you can’t complain much. They have basic spreads with half of it Thai themed food. And while you were there, you will not feel that you are in a foreign country cos all you see there, are Malaysians… all Malaysians!! it’s good if you go early before the crowd of scary aunties comes into the picture..

It is packed  during both lunch and dinner service. if you opt for the seats with a view, it could be a little hot during lunch hours when the sun is shining brightly at it’s best and the spread is located at the other side where you need to go up and down the stairs... Dinner time should not be an issue..
