Hat Lek (small beach) is the principal town in Khlong Yai Province and supports the Ban Hat Lek Market on the Thai-Cambodian border. When the fighting in Cambodia was over in 1986, it used to serve as an intermediate marketplace for grain trading between farmers in Cambodia and traders in Koh Kong. Today it trades in a variety of dried seafood products, some fresh foods and household goods mainly from Cambodia.
