Savouring the Sights & Sounds of the Seaside City of Songkhla

The atmospheric southern Thai city of Songkhla, the capital of its namesake province, is home to stately temples, historic streets and some fascinating local myths, and is certainly well worth exploring. While it may not have the chaotic dynamism of Bangkok or the stunning coastline and buzzing nightlife of somewhere like Phuket, there is still plenty to recommend Songkhla and the city is certainly in some possession of some pretty beaches of its own which make ideal places to swim, sunbathe or just kick back and relax.
If you are interested in local history, during your stay in Songkhla you should definitely check out the Songkhla National Museum, an attractive Chinese-style building which dates back to the 19th century. Housed inside you will find a number of fascinating exhibits showcasing a variety of artefacts including southern folk crafts and artworks, old Chinese and Thai ceramics, items belonging to the Na Songkhla family, and even some prehistoric discoveries. You may also want to head to the Institute for Southern Thai Studies on Ko Yo, where you can learn more about Southern Thai culture, art and folk wisdom. There are over 30 rooms filled with interesting artefacts and exhibits, making for a truly enlightening visit.

Songkhla is also home to some picturesque natural attractions, such as Khao Tang Kuan. Take the cable lift up to the top, where you will find a Dvavarati Chedi which contains relics of Buddha; you can also see the royal pavilion built during King Rama V’s period as monarch. Another must-see natural attraction is the island of Ko Yo - and make sure you spend some time at the charming beaches of Samila and Son On. You can also take a tour of Songkhla Lake and if you’d like to get up close and personal to a variety of wildlife make sure you pay a visit to Songkhla Zoo, nestled among the lush hills.

Thainess, Chumphon, Thailand

Chumphon is a sea coast city parallel to the Gulf of Thailand. It is the gateway to other southern provinces. Along more than 200 kilometres of Chumphons seashore, there are many beautiful and picturesque beaches. Still maintaining the natural beauty, the province is best for those who seek relaxation in the natural and uniquely quiet atmosphere.

Pa Sak Jolasid Dam, Lopburi Province, Thailand

The second leg of the journey takes us up to the huge reservoir created by the damming of the Pa Sak River, a project, completed in 1999, that resulted is the biggest lake in Thailand. It's history seems interesting; as with many 'big picture' projects in Thailand the idea of damming this powerful and untamed river, which starts some 500 km further north before flowing lazily through the fertile plains of the Lopburi and Saraburi provinces, came from a proposal from His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. The Pa Sak River is a tributary to the Chao Phraya River, joining it slightly further on at Ayutthaya, and during the monsoon season when the water head builds up, uncontrolled surges were apparently the source of much flooding in Bangkok, although conversely on a bad year it would dry to a trickle and farmers in the region, which depended on the river for their livelihoods, would see their crops fail. The King saw the building of a dam as a solution to manage the erratic water supply in the region and alleviate the flooding problems in Bangkok, promoting environmental management and responsibility, creating a steady supply of water all year round for irrigation and creating a new local ecosystem which would allow fishing to flourish. Anyway, after much hands-on involvement in the proposals, in early 1989 the King gave the green light to the Pa Sak River Basin Development Project and ten years, later the Pa Sak Jolasid Dam, which can hold up to 960 million cubic meters of water, and with royal seal of approval for the name, was in operation.

The train takes us through Pa Sak Jolasid Dam station from where the railway line snakes north, but rather than running on the land it snakes across the water on long sections of bridges, briefly cutting onto solid land as it crosses the many jutting headlands. After a couple of kilometers the train pulls up in the middle of one of these long sections and everyone scrambles out to take photos in this interesting setting, a photo op that one would be unlikely to be offered on a train trip in the West. The waters of the reservoir lap under the narrow bridge which is just a single track, while the sun relentlessly beats down. After climbing back on board, the train continues another kilometer or so to the station of Khok Salung where the locomotive is uncoupled and moved round to the other end so we can return the way we came.

Back down the lake to Pa Sak Jolasid Dam Station once more and the final break of the day lets everyone explore this area, which has become a key recreational spot. There is food stall after food stall and giant car parks to cater for the mass of Sunday afternoon leisure seekers. The top of the dam has been turned into a recreational park with a tall observation tower, from which I am told the view over the surrounding area is excellent at night, a museum that traces the history of the dam building project and the surrounding area, and attractions dotted down to the water's edge. Schools of fish snap up food that is thrown to them while there are various amusements for children. Small road trains haul visitors across the dam, and these incessantly pass by and are all packed out. The lack of time prevents anything more than drinking in a quick snapshot of the scene, going down to the where the water laps the banks, and seeing the vast lake rolling out as far as the eye can see.

Soon its back onto the train for the last leg of the journey, retracing our steps back to Bangkok and our final destination in the cavernous Hua Lamphong station. The journey goes smoothly, aided by the sight of a glorious deep red sunset, and by early evening we chug back into the terminus station. It's been a very pleasant day out and a word must be mentioned for the staff on the trip (numbering at least one to every coach) who have been pleasant and helpful.

Thailand in 360° AMAZING Solo Adventure 2015 - GoPro Video

In April 2015, I took a 10 day solo trip to Thailand. That's all it took. 10 days to change my outlook of life and here are some of the memories I made and the reasons contributing to my world being a happier place. Maybe running away isn't always so bad eh?

I flew into Phuket and quickly relocated to the Similan Islands for a few days where I camped. In hindsight, an air-con'd cabin would have been the better option. The luke warm showers didn't cut it in the early hours of the morning after waking up in a pool of my own sweat. After 700 Russian and Chinese tourists loaded onto the island, I flipped a coin to decide between the North and the South of the Koh Yao Islands north of Phi Phi and almost equidistant between Phuket and Krabi. It landed on heads, the North, Koh Yao Noi. And thank god it did.

This video tells the rest of my story... Enjoy!

★ ★ ★ วัดทางสาย - Wat Thang Sai ★ ★ ★

Wat Thang Sai is a monastery (วัดทางสาย) and is nearby to Khao Thongchai, Ban Thang Sai and Ban Pak Khlong. Wat Thang Sai is also close to Chedi Kao Yot and Ao Ban Krut.

Wat Tang Sai temple is located at the north end of Ban Krud (Ban Krut) beach on Thongchai Mountain near Ban Krut in the Prachuap Khiri Khan district. A superbly developed site dedicated to the King and Queen of Thailand, very popular with Thai tourists, but few foreigners other than those staying at nearby Ban Krut ever see this magnificent temple.

You can find Wat Tang Sai temple by looking up for a large sitting golden Buddha which is visible from far away. Buddha’s face is directed straight into the Gulf of Thailand and it greets the sunrise every morning with blissful tranquility and golden shine.

To reach Wat Tang Sai Temple you have to climb or drive a steep road going up the Thongchai Mountain. Amazing statue of golden Buddha is located about 500 meters below Wat Tang Sai, right next to the parking lot, which is big enough to accommodate 10 tourist buses. This parking lot is free but not guarded; all guests are welcome to leave their vehicles.
