It may not be famed with western tourists, but it is a delightful throwback that reminds me of the street parties and county fairs I grew up with in the '60s back home. Along with the Sunday Flea Market right around the corner, it's a great way to spend a weekend. One of my favorite weekend getaways from BKK. (Kanchanaburi being my favorite, mostly because of proximity) Then, it's on to Samila Beach for some people watching on one of the best manicured beaches in Thailand. Throw in an occasional event like a marathon or a 10K, drift racing, etc, and Songkhla is a great place. That's why it's so popular with Malaysian and (dare I mention) Chinese tourists. (And before anyone chimes in about the "insurgency", that's in Songkhla Province, generally far away from Songkhla, the fishing village.) 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiggley Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 So the crowds are allowed back into busy markets but I cannot go to a quiet bar and have a beer with my mate, go figure. There are a lot of ladies and vendors in Pattaya on the poverty line because the bars are still closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
