Songkhla, Coastal port town in southern Thailand
The capital of Songkhla Province sits along the eastern coast of the Malay Peninsula, flanked by Songkhla Lake and the Gulf of Thailand.
Between the 10th and 14th centuries, Songkhla functioned as a maritime trade center, maintaining strong commercial connections with Chinese merchants from Quanzhou.
The city population represents a mix of Thai, Chinese, and Malay communities, each contributing to local traditions, architecture, and regional cuisine.
Songkhla connects to Malaysia through the Phet Kasem Road, while the Tinsulanond Bridge spans across Songkhla Lake for regional transportation.
The Sultanate of Singora established fortifications in the early 17th century, with archaeological remains still visible in the northern section of the city.
