              In the city there is an old quarter that is worth visiting on foot to feel the Songkhla of the past. The area covers Nakhon Nok Road, Nakhon Nai Road and Nang Ngam Road. Two hundred years ago the city of Songkhla was located on the west shore of Songkhla lake, known as Songkhla at Laem Son. Later in 1842 it was expanded to the east side of the lake at Tambon Bo Yang, known as Songkhla at Bo Yang which started with 2 roads, Nakhon Nok Road along the lake shore, and  Nakhon Nai Road further in. Later a new road called Kao Hong Road, or Yan Kao Hong, was added which became known as Nang Ngam Road.Today, the three roads still maintain their unique identity of the historic Songkhla through

Chinese-style shophouses, Sino-Portuguese buildings, Guan Yu shrine and old hotels with splendid decoration. Moreover, delicious Thai, Chinese and European cuisines are found in this section of the city.
