Situated north of
Songkhla, Phatthalung presents a traditional
picture of Thailand's far south, and combines
natural and cultural sights well worth
exploring. From mountains, forests and high
plateau in the west, the eastern side of
Phatthalung slopes down to the upper shores of
Songkhla Lake. Thale Noi Waterbird Sanctuary, a
large lagoon which connects to the lake, is a
protected area for 182 species of waterbirds and
is a good place to go bird watching.
Culturally, Phatthalung is distinguished as the
original home of two famous southern
entertainments, Thai shadow play and the
enchanting Manora dance and visitors will be
awed by this unique traditional Thai culture.
