Kiat Fang Famous Pork Bun, Roast & Stew Rice • Must Try in Songkhla Old Town พ พฤร้าน เกียดฟั่ง พ พฤ
✍29 Sep 2024. Heard a lot about Songkhla city but visiting it for the first time. It left a deep impression, I love it.

Rediscover South Thailand Food & Attractions Itinerary • Hatyai Trang Phatthalung Songkhla
We spent a most fascinating five days touring the southern Thailand region, visiting the cities of Hatyai and Songkhla, as well as Phatthalung and Trang provinces.
