This is mostly aimed at our resident southern expert Tom I'm guessing. I'm thinking about a trip down south with the bird 1st week of July, good price on Air Asia flights to Hat Yai at the mo. I want to go to either or both Langkawi and Penang, but either before or after I'd like to see Hat Yai and Songkla. I'm thinking maybe to stay in Hat Yai and see Songkla as a day trip, would I be able to rent a motosai in Hat Yai and do you think staying in Hat Yai would be the best option or would staying in Songkla be better for what will only be 1-2 max days ?

btw, I know it's probably not the best time of year to visit the south but I can only go at this time for the foreseeable future.
