Chokdee Dim Sum
โชคดีแต่เตี้ยม
One of Hat Yai's most iconic morning tea spots, serving self-selected, freshly steamed dim sum paired with Bak Kut Teh. Long queues are common in the morning.
A quintessential Hat Yai breakfast spot where dim sum is selected by the plate and steamed to order. The signature dish is the aromatic claypot Bak Kut Teh, eaten with rice or Chinese crullers (you tiao). Dim sum costs about 20 to 30 THB per basket, with shrimp dumplings (har gow), siu mai, and salted egg custard buns being highly popular. Small portions of Bak Kut Teh cost about 120 to 150 THB. Morning queues can be long—some diners arriving at 08:00 have waited nearly an hour, especially on weekends—and some items sell out by around 10:00. The evening session is less crowded. This listing is for the Lamai Songkhroh branch in the city center near the Dai-ichi Hotel; there are other branches in Hat Yai, so please double-check before heading out.
