Khao Kuha: The Most Stunning Viewpoint in Songkhla

Spend 1-2 hours at this breathtaking spot 💖✨ It was my first-ever trip to Songkhla, and I couldn’t miss the chance to visit "Khao Kuha." Located in Rattaphum District, near Phatthalung Province, it’s about an hour’s drive from Hat Yai. On the day of my visit, a storm was approaching. I planned to arrive early to catch the sunrise, but instead, I was greeted by a sea of mist, mountain views, and lush green fields. Was I disappointed? A little, but the atmosphere was beautiful in its own way. Unfortunately, I couldn’t stay long due to heavy rain and strong winds. To get there, you can spot the mountain from the main road. Follow the route, and when you reach the first few intersections, stick to the paved road as there are no clear signs initially. As you get closer to the parking area, you’ll see clearer signs 🪧. It took me about 20 minutes to hike to the first viewpoint. This spot is already great for photos and not too crowded. From here, you can climb further up using ropes, as the path is steep and slippery. At the second viewpoint, there were lots of people! I was amazed at how skilled everyone was 😂. This spot offers nearly a 360-degree view, and I’d say 80% of visitors stop here. You can walk around this area, but be cautious of slippery paths. I didn’t make it to the final viewpoint due to the steep climb and worsening rain. I imagine the top offers a panoramic view of the surroundings. The descent was surprisingly harder than the climb, probably because I was extra cautious about slipping and falling 🤣🤣. I had to grip the ropes tightly, which left my hands sore. Summary: 1. If you’re up for the challenge, it’s worth the effort despite slipping over 30 times. Visit during calm weather for clear skies and dry paths, making the hike easier. 2. Travel light, but don’t forget water! It’s essential for staying hydrated and cleaning your hands. 3. Wear non-slip shoes and long pants. Short pants can be inconvenient when climbing, as your knees will constantly hit the rocks.
