Hat Yai, “The Holy Temple of Noodles” Noodle dishes, reflection of a rich multicultural society
It may be stated that the southern railway line connecting Bangkok to Padang Besar during the reign of King Rama V was an important point of origin that also brought noodle culinary culture to Hat Yai. The railway line provided a “gateway of opportunity” for people of various races and faiths to immigrate, trade, work, and live.
