Samila Beach

An interesting place for clean and fresh air. A suitable place to bathe on the beach because the beach is still maintained and beautiful. The entire beach is full of government buildings. Amazon cafe is also in beside roundabout of the beach center. It's best to bring extra clothes if you feel like bathing in the beach. You can change clothes and take a shower at a souvenir shop for 10 baht per person. Taking photos with mermaids is a bit challenging in the evening because of the crowd. There are also some visitors who like to sleep next to mermaids and complicate the waiting queue. Just sound direct, they will understand. The price of souvenirs in the stall area is quite cheap compared to other places. Here there are also many local people selling various types of food. Parking will be difficult to find near the beach.

💢 Clean beach with lots of stall selling souvenirs & foods. If you want to try horse ride, you can give it a try here. Samila beach can be very crowded during peak season & holiday as it is one of the tourist attraction. Enjoy your scenery by walking around the beach.

One of my best experiences at Samila Beach. This is the best place to relax and chill your mind. Good places for honeymoon too. If you want to get a souvenirs for your family and friends I will recommend you to buy from here, there is a street market selling souvenirs and very cheap compare at other places. I really loves this place. I will come again🫶🏻

Beach is very clean. Very windy that day. Lots of people. Plenty of stalls and shopping. Interesting there’s monkeys and bears!!!! Highly recommended to just stroll along the beach and enjoy the fresh air

Best place for picnic & spend time with family. Peaceful & calm. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea & take awesome pictures of various statues at the beach, complete with the description of the statues, even some got interesting stories. 🏖

Samila Beach is beautiful, with all services, restaurants, and parking available.
There are also horses on the beach, but there are monkeys that you must be careful of.
For those who like running and walking, there is an Chaloem Phrakiat Public Park and Songkhla City Park near the beach, which is very beautiful.

Beautiful place, perfect for an early morning or late afternoon walk to appreciate the sunrise or sunset. The Golden Mermaid statue is a famous landmark here.

Beautiful beach and a good place to hangout.. Best coconut ice cream can be found here.

"Songkhla" has been located on the eastern side of Thailand since ancient times. There are ancient communities and old cities, with ancient sites, antiques, customs and traditions. and many local games Songkhla recently appeared for the first time in the records of Arab-Persian merchants and sailors between 1450 and 1550. in the name of the city of Singur or Singora, but in the book Natural and Political History of the Kingdom of Siam by Mr. Gilolas Servais, the name of the city of Songkhla is called "Muang Singkhon", so it is assumed that the word Songkhla Distorted from the name "Singla" (pronounced Sing-ha-la) or Singkhon.

His Majesty King Chulalongkorn There was a royal ruling that "Songkhla" was formerly known as Sing Nakhon (pronounced Sing-ha-na-ka-ra). The vowel sound is at the end. The Malay didn't like it so he changed it to Ah. And the Malays speak quickly with their tongues, taṭha and na, only choosing Sing-ka-ra, but pronouncing it as Chingkara or Singkora until it is called Singora.

At Sathing Phra District History and culture during the reign of Sathing Phra K. Burlbet gave the view that Sathing Phra was the center of the Sia Tho or Sek Tho Kingdom. It is one of the sites in southern East Asia that received the Indian Dodong culture during the Srivijaya Empire. for at least 7 centuries because there are architectural traces and sculptures that show that Muang Sathing Phra was the administrative center for the territory around Songkhla Lake at that time.

It is a beautiful beach, worth walking around, with fine white sand, the water is not very deep, good for swimming. The entire length is arranged as a place to relax and have a jogging track.

The Golden Mermaid was created according to ancient Thai legends, which Khun Wichitmatra (Sanga Kanchanakphan) told: On fine days, mermaids sit on the beach and comb their hair with gold combs. One day a fisherman happened to be walking by. startle the mermaid He hurriedly fled into the sea, forgetting his golden comb. The fishermen saw this and kept the gold combs and always waited for the mermaid on the beach. But the mermaid never appeared again.

Come here twice in a year. Personally I like this beautiful beach with clear water, fine sand, windy, walking along the beach while enjoy local coconut ice cream. The statue of mermaid, cat, mouse & black stone each represented an interesting story. Crowded at weekend and shops are open too. 2nd came on weekdays, less shop & stall are open for business. Bring umbrella & cap especially on hot noon.

I love the view and all the sellers there were very polite and friendly. The food there taste very heavenly .
