Songkhla Province

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.
