Wat Suwan Khiri

On the southern tip of the narrow strip of land opposite Songkhla stands the Wat Suwan Khiri, founded by the Na Songkhla family at the beginning of the 19th c. There is a fine chedi and Chinese bell tower together with the wiharn decorated with frescos.

For generations the Na Songkhla family provided the governor of Songkhla; the first progenitor being Chinese. It supports the efforts of the Thai government to integrate the southern provinces.
