Songkhla Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Beach in a City! Must-Visit location for You

If you come to Songkhla Thailand, Samila Beach is a must-visit location for you! The greenish blue sea water is very beautiful and mesmerizing. There are also horse riding activities here, and there are many stalls selling food and souvenirs. For Muslim tourists, halal food is also easy to find. An unforgettable experience because my family and I were very happy with the trip to Samila Beach!#awesomepic #couplestrip #deliciousfood

A bleach with a mermaid statue. So wonderful don't forget to take a picture statue. You have to queue to take photo here. The souvenir also reasonable cheap here and don't forget to try coconut ice cream. There are some food stall along the bleach area. There is hotel nearby if you have a need for accommodation. Public toilet available. Good to relax with some activities. #thailand #samilabeach #songkhla #

Samila Beach: Nice Area and shops.

Samila beach in Songkhla is a nice place to walk either on the beach itself or on the small streets besides, which include several restaurants, pubs, and shops. There is a golden mermaid statue where lots of tourists go to take pictures. While the beach is nice, it depends where you are travelling from because Thailand has lots of great beaches so if you want the best then you are more likely to find something better in Phuket instead, in part because the water in Songkhla is not as clear. But for this area of Thailand I found Songkhla to be well taken care of with many flowers, shrubs, and plants. It's a nice place for a relaxing afternoon. #samilabeach #fallingforfall #thailand

👍🏻Cafe Amazon with Chinese elemebts

#timetotravel My visit to Cafe Amazon in Songkhla Old Town was a delightful cultural experience. The cafe's design was infused with Chinese elements, creating an enchanting blend of cultures. Inside, the ambiance was adorned with a plethora of Chinese-style furniture, transporting visitors to a different era. The highlight of the cafe was its central courtyard featuring a serene water pool, carefully aligned with feng shui principles. This attention to detail added a harmonious touch to the overall environment. Moreover, the second floor boasted a balcony, providing a perfect spot to enjoy a gentle breeze and relax. Opting for a latte priced at 70 Baht, I settled into the serene atmosphere. The cafe's captivating design and tranquil setting created an oasis of calm, making it an ideal escape from the bustling world outside.

Ko yo temple 👍🏻🙏🏼

#timetotravel On a tranquil afternoon, I embarked on a thrilling adventure, riding my motorbike to the enchanting Ko Yo Island in Thailand. My destination was a high mountain temple that graced the island's summit, offering breathtaking views of the sea. Upon arriving at the high mountain temple, I was immediately awestruck by the grandeur of the place. Perched atop the hill, it provided a panoramic vista of the azure ocean and awe-inspiring natural beauty. The mesmerizing scenery filled my heart with tranquility and serenity. The interior of the temple was equally captivating. At the mountaintop, I discovered numerous Buddhist statues, each radiating profound religious faith and cultural heritage. Each sculpture was meticulously crafted, exuding a sacred aura. Although still under construction, the place retained an air of mystery and excitement. I could sense the love and dedication of the builders towards this place, making my visit all the more special. Adjacent to the temple, I stumbled upon a pavilion, offering a comfortable spot to rest. Sitting there, I closed my eyes, took in the fresh mountain air, and felt a profound sense of inner peace and serenity. In the end, I departed from this sacred place, but I carried with me the inner tranquility and a deeper understanding of Thai culture. This journey not only allowed me to appreciate the beauty of the landscape but also the profound charm of religion and culture. My journey to the high mountain temple on Ko Yo Island will forever remain etched in my memory, a cherished experience in my travel adventures. I look forward to future escapades, continuing to explore this beautiful world.

Remember to apply sunscreen and stay hydrated to fully enjoy your time at the temple. The intense sun might challenge you, but the profound experience of being in the presence of the Sleeping Buddha will make it all worthwhile. Wat Phra Non Laem Pho isn't just a temple; it's a place where history, culture, and spirituality converge. With its grandeur, serenity, and the mesmerizing Sleeping Buddha statue, this temple on Koh Yo is a must-visit for anyone seeking a meaningful and unforgettable journey into Thailand's rich heritage. #timetotravel

Lots of Fun @ Songkhla Zoo

Songkhla zoo is about 40 minutes drive away from Hatyai City but it’s definitely worth visiting. There were 2 shows with 2 timings daily. Tiger feeding was quite fun as well. Prices are reasonable for tourist and the kids had lots of fun @ Songkhla Zoo.

Songkhla Thailand

Zoo zoo songkla

Zoo of songkla about 30 minutes from hatyai.. The zoo is huge to see the animal by walking.. they allow us bring our own car to explore the zoo. The animals just like other zoo but the experience not the same. The best part of the zoo is they are an area that we can pass the uncage 🦌 🦌 🦌 🦌 🦌, they just close to our car and us.. The entrance ticket price are also reasonable.

Your Diet is a Bank Account!!!

Kai Tod Decha.... Yes... That's the name of one of the famous Halal Restaurant located in Hat Yai. Best recommended to choose menu in here was Sticky Rice with Fried Chicken. The fried chicken was so delicious and you'll ever want to add more just to only grab the chicken. It served with fresh instant fried chicke. while order has been taken/received. Tom Yum seafood also in the list that i would like to recommended. You can taste the original recipe of Tom Youm which is well known originally come from this country. For drink, i love to suggest to everyonr to try "Teh Ais'/'Iced Tea'. The taste was totally so delicious and i can guarantee you will order for the 2nd one. #hatyai #reataurant #awesomepic #summervacation #2023travel

Hatyai Fried Chicken

Kai-Tod Decha (Chee Uthit Branch) is located in 93 Chee Uthit Road, Tambon Hat Yai, Hat Yai District, and is open daily from 1000-2130. It is around 450 meters 6 minutes walk from Lee Garden Plaza Hotel. This Muslim restaurant is not only famous for their chicken, the zichar (cook and fry) also tastes good. I had ordered a chicken dumbstick and thigh without any rice and a cup of iced thai tea. Their marinade combination of Thai ingredients make the golden brown chicken absolutely crispy and additive. Their moist juicy meat dip with the chili sauce is a must. The iced thai tea is not too sweet and very presentable and cute.

hatyai food hunting galore

There were so many outlet selling chickens in Hatyai. We found one outlet Kaitod Decha(Airport branch). It is located nearby Haytai International Airport , The Signature Hotel Airport and Nutchana Hill Boutique Hotel. The restaurant chain has been established sinxe 1975. The service was very fast indeed. The thai tea was absolutely a hit!! #hatyai #foodie
