| Hatyai view from the Phra Buddha Mongkol Mahara |
Next stop was at the hilly Hatyai Municipal Park. There were several attractions within the park but with the hot sun bearing down that day, we failed to visit the Guan Yin temple, King Rama statue, the Happy Buddha and the Ice Dome.
The 19.9m Phra Buddha Mongkol Mahara, the tallest standing buddha statue in Southern Thailand, was under renovation during our visit. Its imposing height looks over the Hatyai city, see first photo above.

We went on a short cable car ride to get to the Bhraman Shrine across another hill. There we saw the three-faced elephant locals called Erawan and the Four Faced Bhraman Shrine.
