Old Town

The old town area of Songkhla doesn't seem to have the recognition it probably deserves. Unlike Phuket, there is no preservation plan or promotions. Still, it seems like some people have individually taken it on themselves to rescue and restore some of the old buildings. The buildings span an era of around a 100 years and reflect various styles. Some buildings have the old British-colonial five-foot-way while some do not. The mix of different styles makes Songkhla's old town a little different from others in the region, and well worth a visit if you're interested in such things.

There's no official historic district, and little or no signs of any kind, so this is a place to just wander around and see what catches your eye.
