As this is a relatively short train journey (a distance of 83 km from Hat Yai to Phatthalung), it is best to travel on either the very cheap Ordinary or the Rapid trains, so that you avoid the expensive extra fees on the Special Express services.
Fares for all the Ordinary services are just 18 Baht for adults, 9 Baht for children.
There are only 3rd class seat carriages (fan cooled) on these services and they do tend to take most of the delays, so you may want to pay a little extra for a Rapid train, which is more likely to run on time.
If you are travelling from Hat Yai, the best of these ordinary services to catch is the early morning 446, as this service originates in Hat Yai Junction, so should leave on time.

(Bas dari Hat Yai ke Phatthalung)
Although it is possible to travel by bus from Hat Yai bus terminal to Phatthalung, we would not recommend it because:
The bus station in Hat Yai is quite far from the city centre (3 - 4 km).
The bus station in Phatthalung is really far from the town centre (7 km) located off the main highway to Bangkok.
By the time you travel to/from the bus station and add up all the cost - it is really not worth thinking about taking a bus.
The train will work out much cheaper and you can walk to most accommodation in town is just a few minutes.
