It is a popular place for the locals to shop. Don't expect it to be big like those in Bangkok. It is enough to serve the local shoppers and Malaysian and Singaporean tourists.
What to buy: Pretty much anything from clothes (Polo, Abercrombie & Fitch, etc), sport shoes, electrical appliances, DVD/ CDs (of course pirated version with nice packaging), etc. However, don't expect to find many handicrafts or local souvenirs here.

Kim Yong Market is famous for the locals to get imported snacks from Malaysia and Singapore. You will find many muslim vendors sellling merchandise on the street. The market itself has many small stalls nestled on narrow alleyways. It is covered and can get a bit clasterphobic sometimes.
What to buy: According to my Thai friends, one of the most popular souvenir from Hatyai is Pringles potato chips! Apparently, they are imported from Malaysia and are cheaper than in the rest of Thailand. Other things to be considered at this market are local fruits, all sorts of nuts, and anything Thai!! Batik is also popular at this market.

There is a market located smacked right in the town centre. Cheap & fake branded apparels and shoes like Nike, Reeboks & Guess are sold by the many vendors operating in the market square. This place is known for mass production of fake brand name goods.
Don't bother buying any of these if you're one who place importance in quality and durability as most of the fake goods are long-lasting and fade easily. However, the upside of it is that they're cheap!
What to buy: Foodstuffs, lingerie.
