The Best Things to Do in Songkhla Province

Situated way down the Malay Peninsula towards Thailand's tail end, Songkhla Province boasts a diverse mix of Thai, Malay, and Chinese peoples, with a strong Muslim influence. This melting pot gives the region a unique cultural heritage that's evident in its fusion cuisine and eclectic architecture, which can be traced back through numerous historical buildings and temples. The province also claims a fair share of natural attractions, including Thailand's largest natural lake in the north, two national parks in the hilly south, and lots of quiet beaches along the coast. Despite the area's numerous selling points, Songkhla Province tourism remains a small industry, and tourist infrastructure is lacking. As such, a vacation here suits more independently minded travelers. Our Thailand day trip planner allows you to plan your trip to Songkhla Province and a wealth of other destinations big and small.
