This lake is the largest lake in Thailand covering
an area of approximately 80 kilometers long and 20 to 25 kilometers
wide in Songkhla and Phatthalung Provinces. In addition, it is the only
natural, fresh-water lake in Thailand. Several islands across from its
mouth namely, Ko Yai, Ko Si, Ko Ha, Ko Kaeo, Ko Mak, Ko Rai, and Ko Yo
are worth visiting for relaxation. Boat services are available for
touring the lake. The port behind the post office or the fresh market
has all-day long-tailed boat services.
