This is a beautiful and unique temple that is probably nothing like other temples you have seen in Thailand. The bells are contribute to the serene atmosphere. There are a couple of issues you need to be aware. There is a wide open space in front of the temple where you have to take off your shoes and depending on whether it is a really hot day or raining could be quite inconvenient, Also as some have pointed, there are mosquitoes in the evening so take the usual precaution.

A trip here is surely a feast for the senses where you will be mesmerized by the alluring waterfalls! Majestic in size, the stones are tall and the water gushes down mercilessly from above. It runs into a stream below where fishes flourish in overwhelming quantity. A picturesque mother nature creation, you'll find yourself busy with photo taking in the most Instagram fitting scenery. There's a 200 baht entrance fee for foreigner and you need a car to get to this park.

The Central Mosque iin the Songkhla Province – dubbed Thailand's Taj Mahal. It sits halfway along the main highway connecting Hat Yai and Songkhla city. The modern monument, inspired by classical Mughal architecture, boasts a symmetrical design with a central gold dome atop a large square building flanked by four detached minarets overlooking a large rectangular water feature.
