Historical Tunnel, Khao Nam Khang National Park It was dug by Chinese Communist bandits (C.K.M.) since World War II. It is located in Nathawi and Sadao districts, Songkhla province. In 1980, the Thai government successfully suppressed and reclaimed the area and established it as a national park (I read the history and details from the pamphlets that were distributed). Inside the building, there are many displays of weapons, equipment, and belongings of the Chinese Communists, as well as various photographs. Before entering the tunnel, there is a koi pond. They are very thin. If anyone stops by, buy a bag of fish food for 20 baht. It is sold at the entrance to the building + a 20 baht entrance fee to the tunnel per person. The tunnel is about 14 kilometers from the park office. You have to drive past it. The Khao Nam Khang National Park office has a camping ground right near the waterfall. #SouthernTourism

#hatyaitrip 📍Zab Inter Sadao, Hatyai Stopped by this restaurant while we were on a road trip from Malaysia to Hatyai city. The restaurant is conveniently located near the border, perfect place to stop by and have a break before driving further north to Hatyai city. The restaurant is huge and spacious, can accommodate friends and families of larger groups. There is also plenty of parking spots available on the site, easily accessible and convenient. They serve authentic Thai food here at Zab Inter Sadao. Food was served warm and quickly, came in great presentation, instagrammable enough. Love the fried rice which was flavourful and full of umami, fried chicken wing was well cooked too!

Devotees often come to ask for blessings and blessings in various matters, such as work, money, luck, etc. 📍 Ban Dan Nok, Sadao District, Songkhla Province #tripdiscount #WhiteSnakeShrine

White Snake Shrine at night is another place that is just as beautiful as during the day. At night, the lights change color beautifully. Anyone who visits Dan Nok at night must stop by to take a picture of the White Snake Shrine, which is a sacred object of the villagers of Ban Dan Nok. This shrine is not built like other shrines you will find, but it has a special feature that makes it different: it is a replica of the architecture of a famous temple in the north, Wat Rong Khun, Chiang Rai Province. 📍 Ban Dan Nok, Sadao District, Songkhla Province #Nightlife #WhiteSnakeShrine

#winhkflight 📍ZAB Inter at Sadao 258, Sadao, Sadao District, Songkhla 90110, Thailand Passed by this restaurant while we were on our way from Penang to Hat Yai city, and decided to stop at this restaurant for lunch. The restaurant is new, spacious and clean, serving authentic local Thai cuisine. They have a huge parking area as well, so no troubles at finding parking spots. Having both indoor and outdoor seatings, with wooden painted seats, this restaurant is cozy, homey and comfortable! Love the service from staffs, very friendly and nice! We ordered tomyam kung (tomyam soup with shrimps, mushrooms) and a salad to pair with rice. Tomyam soup was really delicious and flavourful, was a little bit spicy but all’s good! I wish to travel to Hong Kong for the food!

#CafeReview Nowadays, there are cool and cozy cafes in almost every area of ​​Thailand. Even in Sadao District, Songkhla, I didn't think there would be a cozy cafe like this. So I went straight into the shop and checked in a bit before crossing the river to go to the temple to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year. The atmosphere in the shop is so cute and lovely. The white theme is easy on the eyes. Whether you're a sweet tooth, a coffee lover, or a photo lover, you'll definitely love it. 📍10 Tambon Samnak Kham, Sadao District, Songkhla 90320 ⏰09.00 - 19.30 ☎️065 856 9270 💰80 - 100 baht 🚗No parking #thailand #travel #onedaytrip #missnature #centralregionteam #waitingforthedaytodepart #familytrip #goodatmosphere #placestovisit #thaitravelthailand #travelthailand #travelontheroad #tripnearbangkok #beautifulphotospots #cafereview #beautifulcafetotell #cafelife #mustvisitcafe #beautifulphotocafe #Pointing out delicious restaurants #Secret restaurants #Trip gives away free accommodation

#timetotravel I stopped by Koji Cha Cafe in Sadao, Thailand, and decided to try their Koji Cha Black Iced Tea. It was a delightful choice with a good taste, and the best part is, it's budget-friendly at just 24 baht. The cafe boasts a welcoming environment with its elegant design and spacious seating. The enthusiastic staff members enhance the overall experience. It seems like a popular spot for students, and the speedy Wi-Fi certainly adds to its appeal. I'll definitely return to Koji Cha Cafe for more of that tasty tea.

#timetotravel I rode my motorcycle to a beautiful temple in Sadao, Thailand, one afternoon. It's located in a more rural area, and this temple is a true gem. The Buddhist architecture here is stunning, with intricate details and beautiful artwork, including some exquisite paintings above the entrance. This place exudes tranquility and a sacred atmosphere, perfectly complemented by the natural beauty of the surrounding flowers and greenery. It's a serene and peaceful spot where you can connect with both spirituality and nature.

#timetotravel The Chinese temple located in Sadao, Thailand, is exquisitely designed with a predominant use of red. It's a place that exudes a sense of sanctity and tranquility. The maintenance is impeccable, and the cleanliness is well-maintained. Inside, there's a deity statue and a mural, both radiating a sense of sacredness. I paid my respects with a traditional hand gesture and took a moment to admire the beauty of this Buddhist architecture before departing.

#timetotravel I visited the White Temple located in Sadao, Thailand, which transforms into the "Red Temple" at night with the use of red lighting. I arrived here in the evening, although I personally feel that it might be more beautiful during the daytime. Nonetheless, it still held a mysterious allure. Inside the temple, there's a white snake statue with fresh flower offerings in front of it. I took a moment to offer my prayers here. Flanking the temple entrance are two white elephant statues, adding to the solemn and sacred atmosphere. Whether day or night, this place is serene and spiritually significant, providing a sense of tranquility and sanctity.

#timetotravel During my visit to Sadao, Thailand, I discovered the delightful Akiko Tea, a charming tea shop that specializes in milk tea. Here, I ordered a glass of iced chocolate milk, and it was truly a treat for the senses. The flavor was exquisite, with a rich chocolatey taste and just the right amount of sweetness. What makes Akiko Tea even more appealing is its affordability. Despite the high-quality beverages, the prices are very reasonable. The atmosphere is fresh and youthful, with a modern design that adds to the overall experience. The staff at Akiko Tea were not only friendly but also polite, creating a welcoming atmosphere. To top it off, the fast Wi-Fi allowed me to catch up on work or connect with friends while enjoying my drink. For me, Akiko Tea has become a go-to place to unwind and savor a delicious beverage. It's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy some downtime, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sadao.

Admittedly, I had never heard of Khao Le before until a friend from another province recommended that I go. I only had to prepare for 1 day and let’s go! 🏃‍♂️ How to get there: You have to drive your own car. I recommend parking at the Kuan Im Shrine at Khao Le. Climbing the mountain: We left Hat Yai at 3 am and drove for about 50 minutes (because we got lost). We didn’t start walking until 4 am, which is a reasonable amount of time. I recommend wearing sneakers, a sports shirt (because you’ll definitely sweat a lot), a flashlight, and insect repellent because there are a lot of mosquitoes (x100). The entire way up the mountain is flat, you have to climb rocks, and cling to trees. It took us about an hour to walk. At first, I thought I would be one of the first people to go, but no, there were about 10 other tourists on the mountaintop. There are many photo spots on the mountain, both the rice fields and the mountaintops, but there is also fog. I recommend waiting to see the sunrise because it is sooo beautiful. #Sadao #Hiking #Climbing #SeeingTheMist #VisitSongkhla #sadao

Songkhla-Sadao, climb a mountain in the summer, see a 360-degree view at Khao Ley Buddhist Park or Khao Ley (Unseen Khao Ley Buddhist Park), a natural tourist attraction near the city of Sadao. See the thin mist, cool wind, breathe in the fresh air. The distance up the mountain is about 0.8-1.0 kilometers. The way up is good, but it's worth it. The view from the top is very beautiful. I'm not tired anymore. I recommend coming in large numbers. There is no charge. For this trip, 10/10. ⛰️✨ #Sea of ​​fog #Travel in our south #Hiking and mountain climbing to see the sea of ​​fog #Climbing

We started this trip from Hat Yai city to Sadao district, which took about 1 hour. We left at 4 am and arrived in Sadao at around 5 am, which was still dark. While walking up the mountain, we had to use a flashlight. We might have been lucky that day because it rained that night, so we knew there was fog. But unfortunately, the path to the top was difficult and muddy. It took about 30 minutes to walk up to the top of the mountain. There were ropes to hold onto along the way. When we reached the viewpoint, all the tiredness disappeared. It was worth it. Thick fog and dew on the grass, plus we got to see the sunrise. From here, you can see Malaysia. **Recommended equipment: Drinking water, backpack, hiking gear, flashlight **Recommended time: 5:00 - 7:00 #ThaiHiking #SecretLocation #NatureTherapy #MissNature #Songkhla #Sadao #SeaofFog #Thailand #SouthernTeam #SouthIsVeryCold #WhereToTravel #Backpacking
