The Red Rice Mill of Old town Songkhla

#myhiddengems "Hub Ho Hin" is an old rice mill in the old town of Songkhla, located on Nakorn Nok Road. The building is painted in red color with a classic atmosphere. In the past, an economy in "Songkhla City" was driven by many Chinese families, that's why there is a red rice mill building here. The name of the mill is “Hub Ho Hin” which is a Hokkien language, meaning unity, harmony, and prosperity. During World War II, Japan occupied Songkhla and used this red mill as a warehouse for medical supplies. After the war, the rice mill business was discontinued and converted to a warehouse to store rubber for export, and fishing port. At present, it is the office of the "Songkhla Heritage Trust Society" but it is still an interesting place to visit… #songkhlaoldtown #thailand #wheretogo

👍🏻Cafe Amazon with Chinese elemebts

#timetotravel My visit to Cafe Amazon in Songkhla Old Town was a delightful cultural experience. The cafe's design was infused with Chinese elements, creating an enchanting blend of cultures. Inside, the ambiance was adorned with a plethora of Chinese-style furniture, transporting visitors to a different era. The highlight of the cafe was its central courtyard featuring a serene water pool, carefully aligned with feng shui principles. This attention to detail added a harmonious touch to the overall environment. Moreover, the second floor boasted a balcony, providing a perfect spot to enjoy a gentle breeze and relax. Opting for a latte priced at 70 Baht, I settled into the serene atmosphere. The cafe's captivating design and tranquil setting created an oasis of calm, making it an ideal escape from the bustling world outside.

Like an Art Gallery

Although gentrification of the old Chinese shop house is beginning, it has not gone as far as in Phuket so the atmosphere is far more authentic. There are good, cheap restaurants everywhere but one unmissable visit (free) must be to the town's small city museum, lodged in the grounds of a perfectly maintained old monastery. Descriptions are in clear English, giving a good idea of the town's history. 9and of course don't miss either the many high quality examples of street art An old town, street wall art is amazing, a cafe name Blue Smile is like an art gallery, 2 story w/ roof top dining, Sunset view n art will be a amazing sweet memories stay with you mind Only thing it is running down, get prepared before u heading there, there won't be anything for you to shop, even a pack of cigarette is a difficulty A beautiful lake with golden view will kill you filming #tripblazers #bucketlistreboot #mytripvlog #awesomepic #couplestrip

Old Town Coffee

#bucketlistreboot It is relaxing to take a walk along the narrow streets and small alleys of this old town. Old Songkhla Town, to us, is a charming heritage enclave consisting of old Chinese-style shophouses. What a delight to discover artistic mural pieces on street corners and unexpected places... While some of the buildings have been turned into colourful cafes, they still maintain their traditional charms. As we strolled along, we had the opportunity to observe and admire the unique architecture of a bygone era. Plentiful decorative lush green plants in pots in front of most shophouses add to the overall artistic feeling of this place. The old town is located near to the sea. There is even a harbour nearby. Ban Nakhon Nai Museum with free admission is also located in the vicinity. There are numerous Chinese temples as well as a mosque in this town, co-existing in harmony.

Songkhla Old Town

#bucketlistreboot Nice historical town to visit with many foods and treats to enjoy there is the Lake on one side and ocean on the other. Great place to walk around and enjoying the view of the old city. Songkhla old town is more relaxed and quite compare to hai yai town..nearer to the beach and sea.... would prefer to choose Songkhla rather than Haiyai..due too much commercialise.. it is a fantastic little old town you can walk around in the morning or late afternoon it is great place to shoot nice photos and also nice cafe & ice cream shops it is a must to visit! you will not regret if you visit this place..
