Samila Beach

Hat Samila is a clean, quiet and rather ordinarybeach on a cape between the inland sea/lake and the Gulf of Thailand in Songkhla. The nearly three km of sand facing the Gulf is rarely crowded, perhaps because it is not very good for swimming, and because Thais generally don't see the point in sunbathing. Beach chairs and umbrellas are available for a minimal charge or free if you order snacks from the right food vendor. Opposite the beach are numerous seafood restaurants. Landmarks are the statue of the Golden Mermaid, and Khao Noi, a small hill behind the beach where you can find an old chedi, a topiary garden and fine views of the surrounding area.
