Fantastic boat trip on the Songkhla Lake I think this boat trip really deserves a separate listing. Many of the reviews about “Songkhla Lake” are about the statue that is at the entrance of the estuary of the lake, not about the lake itself. The lake is fantastic but you have make a boat trip to really appreciate the beauty. We paid 500THB for an hour to our “captain”. The boats are simple. There is no cover to protect you from the sun and there are no life vests. We did two trips. We went on two trips, the first before sunrise and and the second around sunset. During daytime it will be too hot. Just make sure that the weather is a bit stable and predictable before you go. Otherwise it might be too dangerous.
