Your Travel Guide to Thailand
All information & tips to prepare your trip in Thailand
Songkhla province is a cultural and seaside resort popular with Thais for its historical charm, magnificent beaches and delicious cuisine. Songkhla Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Thailand, straddling Phatthalung province is the jewel of the area but the old town with its colonial buildings, its Buddhist temples and lively market are also worth the detour.
Visitors can also explore the area's sandy beaches, such as Samila Beach and its famous mermaid statue. Having not inspected the province like I normally do because I cannot encourage you to go there, I cannot really tell you more about its tourist attractions.
