Located on Nang Ngam Road, the pillar, which is
highly revered by the local residents, was constructed when the city
was built. This area of the city has distinctly Chinese characteristics
as can be seen in the Chinese-style building where the pillar is
enshrined and nearby buildings on Nakhon Nai and Nakhon Nok Roads. The
distinctive Chinese lifestyle and influence in the area is due to the
presence of Chinese immigrants, who came to settle in Songkhla at the
beginning of the 24th Buddhist Century and had a major role in the
establishment of Songkhla.
