Kho Hong
The reservoir defines the setting of Kho Hong — a broad basin of water edged by green slopes, trees and a curving local road on the urban fringe of Hat Yai. This part of Songkhla Province lies on Thailand’s Malay Peninsula, where low hills break up the more level terrain around the city. Kho Hong is closely tied to Hat Yai, southern Thailand’s principal commercial centre and a major rail-and-road hub near the Malaysian border. Prince of Songkla University’s Hat Yai campus is in Kho Hong; founded in 1967, it was Thailand’s first institution of higher education established in the South. The reservoir and surrounding greenery give this built-up district a more hillside character than Hat Yai’s dense central streets.

Shaped by historic port trade along the Gulf of Thailand, Songkhla Province developed into a key southern Thai region linking coast, lake country and the Malaysian border. Songkhla Lake, Thailand’s largest natural lake system, gives the area a markedly different character from the open sea coast; its waters, islands and wetlands support fishing and farming communities. The provincial capital, Songkhla, retains an old quarter with Chinese-influenced shophouses, while Hat Yai is the province’s commercial and transport centre. Samila Beach near Songkhla city is known for its Golden Mermaid statue.

Thailand stretches from the mountains along its northern borders to the Malay Peninsula, encompassing fertile central plains, river deltas and long tropical coasts. The Chao Phraya River runs through Bangkok, where the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew remain central symbols of the Thai monarchy and Buddhist tradition. North of the capital, Ayutthaya’s temple ruins recall the former Siamese kingdom; farther south, the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand frame islands, fishing ports and beach resorts. Thai food, from street stalls to regional kitchens, is inseparable from daily life, while Songkran marks the traditional New Year each April.
