About the Location

Songkhla and the adjacent city of Hat Yai make up one of southern Thailand’s most dynamic urban areas. The region’s cultural diversity is reflected in its food scene — from southern Thai curries and Songkhla noodles to dim sum influenced by the area’s Chinese heritage. Getting around is easy via Hat Yai’s extensive songthaew (shared truck) network, and weekend trips to Samila Beach or the historic Songkhla Old Town are just minutes away. For those interested in history, the Songkhla National Museum — housed in a 19th-century Chinese mansion — is a fascinating window into the art and archaeology of Thailand’s deep south.
