Songkhla Lake is the largest natural lake in Thailand with an area of 1,040 square kilometers, bordering two provinces, Phatthalung and Songkhla, on the Malay Peninsula.

Songkhla Zoo

In addition, Songkhla Zoo is a nice activity for a family, especially with young children. They have a wide variety of animals to see, scattered over very large grounds. 

You can drive between each station because walking would be very far, and especially with hot weather it would be exhausting, so we took small breaks in the air conditioning of the car when driving slowly at small distances like 150-200 meters between stations.
