Hat Yai's city center is a Chinatown, dumbfuck
Personally I didn't like it as it felt too much like a real city with the tallish buildings lining grid streets. Prices were high (by Thailand standards) and people weren't friendly. Surat Thani is dumpier but much more friendly. Phattalung was my favorite provincial city in southern Thailand. Can't speak for Songkhla, but I heard it's great.

Myanmar's country code is MM.
Malaysia has a large number of pleasant places with few foreign tourists. Muar was one of my favorite cities in the country.

I agree. Asia is the world's largest and most populated continent. Even the most heavily visited countries like Thailand are full of places that the normie herds pass over. There's nothing secret about them. The simple truth is, normie tourists like to be around other normie tourists, which dissuades them from going off the beaten path.
