Songkhla Bay Attractions

A boat trip along the mountainous promontory north of Songkhla passes many picturesque fishing villages, built on stilts. Farther north a soaring limestone ridge divides the inland lake into two parts, Thale Sap and Thale Luang. The brackish freshwaters harbor many sunda-gaviale (Siam crocodiles); terns make their nests in the rocks, and the nests are a delicacy of Chinese cuisine. A possible destination of such a boat trip could be the island of Koh Yo with two temples.
