Songkhla, Southern administrative province in Thailand

Songkhla Province stretches along the Gulf of Thailand, encompassing the largest natural lake in Thailand, spanning 1,040 square kilometers of water surface.

The province evolved from the Sultanate of Singgora, established in the early 17th century by a Persian trader who developed it into a maritime trade center.

The population combines Thai, Chinese, and Malay communities, with Buddhist temples and Muslim mosques distributed across urban and rural areas of the province.

Hat Yai district serves as the main commercial center of the province, functioning as a transportation hub connecting Thailand with Malaysia and Singapore.

Songkhla Lake harbors a rare population of Irrawaddy dolphins, while the province contains three national parks: San Kala Khiri, Khao Nam Khang, and Namtok Sai Khao.
