With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy everything that Songkhla, 35 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area starting with Samila Beach, Thale Noi Waterbird Park and Old Town Songkhla Gate. Hat Yai is another terrific option. It’s 35 miles away and boasts an array of fascinating things to do. Lee Garden Plaza, Kim Yong Market and Central Festival Hatyai are only the start.
