Hat Yai, the hub of Songkhla Province, will spend 200 million baht to jazz up its appeal by adding a cable car, planetarium and art gallery to the list of attractions already available at the city's main public park. Mayor Prai Pattano plans to broaden the park's appeal from a place of leisure to include edutainment to pull in visitors from neighbouring Malaysia and Singapore, who regularly travel every year to pay their respects to a shrine of Chinese goddess Guan Yin and a Buddha statue atop a hill with thick forest cover in the 900-rai park that also boasts a huge lake.
