Songkhla

Songkhla Province is a province in southern Thailand, with a unique blend of coastal charm, historical significance, and a multicultural heritage influenced by Thai, Chinese, and Malay communities. It is famous for its iconic Samila Beach with the Golden Mermaid statue, its bustling provincial capital (Songkhla City) boasting a charming Old Town, and as the location of Hat Yai, the largest city in Southern Thailand and a major economic hub.

Interesting tourist attractions when visiting Songkhla include:

• Samila Beach: The most iconic landmark in Songkhla City, known for its fine white sand, shady pine trees, and the beloved Golden Mermaid statue. It's a perfect spot for relaxation, leisurely strolls, and enjoying the sea breeze. Nearby are the Cat and Mouse statues, inspired by local folklore.
• Tang Kuan Hill: Offers panoramic views of Songkhla City, Samila Beach, and the vast Songkhla Lake. An old pagoda and a cable car ride add to the experience.
• Songkhla Central Mosque: A magnificent mosque often referred to as the "Taj Mahal of Thailand" for its grand architecture, especially beautiful when lit up at sunset.
• Hat Yai: While a separate city, it's part of Songkhla Province and a major draw for shopping, dining, and entertainment, with attractions like Gim Yong Market, Lee Garden Plaza, and Greenway Night Market.

Songkhla Province is easily accessible via Hat Yai International Airport (HDY), which has numerous direct flights from Bangkok and other major cities. From Hat Yai, it's a short bus or minivan ride to Songkhla City. It can also be reached by train or bus from various parts of Thailand.
