I was going to go visit as I’ve always wanted to see the city, but luckily I did a quick google search before leaving. There’s been a lot of deaths and destruction, it sounds like a terrible situation.

Hat Yai is a very unique city and a great place to spend a couple of days. But not right now, unfortunately.

I found this online for you

The Immigration Bureau of Thailand has announced a temporary waiver of overstay fines for foreign tourists trapped by the flooding in eight southern provinces (including the province containing Hat Yai). This suggests that many travellers are unable to leave, likely because transport and crossing points are disrupted.

• Some “immigration offices affected by flooding” are reportedly being restored “as soon as possible” to resume services.

I’m sure that due to the circumstances they will be more lenient but it is Thailand and who knows what they will say. Good luck but get to immigration as soon as it reopens. If it is a 90 day report, you can do this online if it’s not your first one
