Songkhla
province is not famous for its beaches and islands in the
same way that neighboring provinces are, but it does have
a lot of local flavor. With the provincial capital situated
whereThailand's largest inland body of water meeting the Gulf
of Thailand, it has a number of long beaches, colorful Muslim
fishing villages, and a restful pace. Largely undiscovered
by tourists, it is an interesting destination for visitors
who want to get off the beaten path and explore places where
they can get an authentic view of the mixture of cultures
which makes southern Thailand unusual and distinctive.
