SampaoThai
Sampaothai in Phatthalung province, just open a few years ago. It’s only a rice field area with the big model of a king kong and a ship in the motif the rice field. It is quite hot to walk around but the community make a stable walkway to walk around. The entrance fee is 20 baht per person. If you like taking beautiful photos, this place is for you.

Thale Noi
Supporting more than 180 species of local and migratory waterbirds and protected under the international Ramsar wetlands preservation treaty, Thale Noi is Thailand’s largest waterfowl reserve.
If you like birds, buffaloes, water lilies and riding a Sampan with motor out on a huge lake go for it. It’s really worth your time and money. You can take a boat tour which will cost you about THB450.

Ekachai Bridge
A bridge formally called Thanon Chaloem Phra Kiat 80 but locally and most often called Ekachai Bridge on the lake route between Ranot, Songkhla and Thale Noi, Phatthalung road. The route passes through rice field before passing through swampy area of the northern edge of Songkhla Lake – the largest fresh water lake in Thailand.
