Once done with the Hat Yai Cable Car ride, I headed back down to the car park to wait for my Hat Yai City Municipality Park Shuttle Songthaew transfer from Hat Yai Cable Car Phra Buddha Mongkol Maharaj Station back down to Hat Yai Wonders Land (formerly Ice Dome) to head out of Hat Yai City Municipality Park.

As I had some time to kill for my 5.00pm pick-up timing, I walked over to the Hat Yai Observatory to check it out.

The Hat Yai Observatory closes at 4.30pm. Ah well.
After waiting till 5.05pm and no sign of the Hat Yai City Municipality Park Shuttle Songthaew, I decided to call the driver using my Singapore number to tell him that I was ready.
The Hat Yai City Municipality Park Shuttle Songthaew arrived at about 5.15pm to pick me up.

Arriving at Hat Yai Wonders Land shuttle stop.
The journey from Hat Yai Cable Car Phra Buddha Mongkol Maharaj Station to Hat Yai Wonders Land took 6 minutes. No payment needs to be done as the 50 Baht paid on the onward journey covers this return trip back down already.
Heading back down to the entrance.

Is this shuttle still available in Jun-July 2024?
Not sure. Further feedback is appreciated.
