Trip to Songkhla

Today we traveled to Songkhla and I would like to tell you something about this unique and attractive city close to us.
Songkhla is a border province in Southern Thailand, adjoining Malaysia.
Songkhla is known as a principal seaport and coastal post. It is strongly maintains its unique identity of ancient and historical town for tourism.
Songkhla city was formerly named "Sing-ha-na-ka-ra" as well as called by Malay as "Sing-khra or Sing-ka-ra", meaning mountain. Later on, the name was converted to Songkhla.

What we did is, we hired a 'Tuk-tuk' for the whole day trip, so it would be easier for us to go from one place to another.

We left Hatyai around 8:30 AM and the travel took about 40-45 minutes. The day was sunny, very warm it really burnt my skin but it was a wonderful trip and we all enjoyed very well !

Enjoy the pictures.....
