Heading to Songkhla. Reffering to Wikipedia, the name Songkhla is actually the Thai corruption of Singgora, its original name means 'the city of lions' in Malay. This refers to a lion-shaped mountain near the city of Songkhla. Songkhla was the seat of an old Malay Kingdom with heavy Srivijayan influence. In ancient times (200 AD - 1400 AD), Songkhla formed the northern extremity of the Malay Kingdom of Langkasuka. The city-state then became a tributary of Nakhon Si Thammarat, suffering damage during several attempts to gain independence. Since the 18th century, Songkla has been firmly under Thai suzerainty.

 |
| Arrived @ floating market area.. |
 |
| as usual.. exotic food @ Thailand. |
 |
| Klonghae Floating Market in Hat Yai. Other Floating market also got @ Bangkok, Phuket & Pattaya... |
 |
| People @ floating market. During my visit, most of tourist are from Malaysia..The Klonghae Floating Market is actually situated by a river and is divided into three sections. A general area where stalls are stationed on land with seating areas, the main boat hawkers which are stationed by the river and across the bridge on the ground. While the tourists will flock to the riverside for the amazing experience, the locals mostly hang out at the main area. I believe you can easily spend a good 30-45 minutes by the river before moving to the seated area. |
 |
| Khlong Hae Floating Market is the first floating market of southern Thailand. It intended to retrieve old-way trading of the local people that depended on waterway transportation. |
 |
| The market offers mostly food and agricultural produces of its locality it also provides sightsocing tour by boat. It opens on Fridays-Sundays during 15:00 – 21:00 Hrs.and organized by klong Hoe Municipality. |
 |
| One unique feature here was that some of the boat hawkers sold drinks in custom made bamboo cups or porcelain containers |
 |
| This is how the hawkers pass the food.. |
