Hat Yai Cable Car

Hat Yai Cable Car is an aerial cable car system inside Hat Yai Municipal Park in Kho Hong, Hat Yai District, Songkhla Province. It connects the lower park area to the hilltop viewpoint housing the Phra Buddha Mongkol Maharaj standing Buddha image. Notable for providing panoramic views over Hat Yai city and surrounding hills, it serves as both a transport link and a scenic attraction within the city's main public park.

Visitors can expect a short aerial ride in enclosed cabins between two stations within Hat Yai Municipal Park. The lower station is near the park entrance and parking area, the upper station is on the hilltop near the large standing Buddha statue and viewpoint terrace. The ride offers elevated views of Hat Yai city, park lakes and forested hills. At the top, visitors can explore the viewpoint platform, Buddha image, shrine areas and landscaped park grounds.

The cable car was developed as part of Hat Yai Municipal Park improvements to provide easier access to the hilltop Phra Buddha Mongkol Maharaj Buddha statue and viewpoint, enhancing the park as a major recreation and tourism site for Hat Yai city.

The hilltop served by the cable car is a cultural and religious focal point due to the large standing Buddha image and nearby Guan Yin statue, which are visited for merit-making and are landmarks of the municipal park.
