Samila Beach
4.9/5 · 161 review
taCommentInfo-imageBased on 53 review
Highlights:
This is a peaceful, beautiful and clean beach. It is said that the sea near the beach was once a stronghold of pirates, but now it has become a scenic spot in Songkhla. On the white sandy beach, there is also a prominent bronze mermaid statue to pay homage to the goddess of the earth in Hinduism. Another legend about this sculpture is that this is a kind Songkhla girl who met a sailor on the beach, and the two fell in love. When the girl became pregnant with the sailor's child, the sailor set sail again. The innocent girl is convinced that the sailor will soon come back to marry her, and waits at the beach every day. Year after year, day after day, the sailor never came back. Finally one day, the girl turned into a bronze statue of a mermaid and watched Samila Beach forever. Next to the bronze mermaid statue is a group of "cat and mouse" statues, because the two islands of Songkhla are named KoYo and KoLosin respectively.
