PHATTHALUNG
Phatthalung is characterised by towering limestone mountains, home to myriad caves used for meditation, and flat rice growing areas. The popular shadow plays, using puppets carved from buffalo hides, and the famous Nora dance originated here. |
|||
| The
town is dominated by an unusual outcropping, Ok Thalu (Broken Chest) with
a large hole in it, while nearby is Hua Taek, a formation resembling a broken
head. Legend has it that these are injuries suffered by two jealous women fighting over their lover. |
||||
|
Wat Kuhasawan sits at the foot of a large limestone peak where interlinked caves contain votive tablets dating back to the 8th century Srivijaya period. While just northwest of the town is Malai Cave, an illuminated complex full of enormous stalactites and stalagmites. |
||||
| The province's most famous attraction is Thale Noi Waterfowl Sanctuary, an extension of Songkhla Lake and Thailand's largest water park. Early morning is the best time to see the hundreds of birds species by longtail boat. | ||||
