This beach could be fantastic but there is obviously nothing being done to keep it clean, tidy and safe. So dirty it presents a hazard for walking barefoot. Feral dogs everywhere - with new litters on the way.. obviously nothing being done to control the population.

This beach has a lot of activities going on with parking locations all over the area.

Serene beautiful beach, not touristy yet. Beware of the monkeys though. Best visiting times are dusk and dawn so you won't get sunburn.

Samila Beach 29-2-2024 The beach is beautiful Clean - quiet - lots of beautiful old trees But not for swimming My experience in Samila Beach and Chalatat Beach. These are the best places to relax and unwind. Many stalls sell souvenirs and food But at four in the evening the beach is full of locals I enjoyed the peace and fresh air Beautiful mermaids

Such a lovely beach and not too crowded. Local shops and food sellers on the beach were not so hard-sell. I Love this beach a lot.

A good place to relax and unwind and just enjoy the sound of the waves hitting against the white sands. The mermaid statue is a popular attraction among tourists. Can do horse riding or take photo on a horse or just enjoy a coconut drink while watching the beautiful scenery.

Songkhla check-in location

Samila Beach, or some people call it Laem Samila, is a clean area, a sandy beach, and there are many activities to do. Walk around, fly a kite, play in the water, play football, or do other types of exercise. In the city It is considered a good place to relax. The area has food to choose from. Looks like it's safe and not dangerous. The beach is public and anyone can come. The atmosphere is good. Arrived on 2.3.2024

Good spot to take lots of pictures and learn a bit of their folklores. Not overly crowded for a nice stroll except for the statues. I tried some of the food there (coconut ice cream, fried food, etc) and it's quite tasty.

Beautiful Sunset.... 30 May 2021 Has a very clean Sandy Beach , with sand bars at low tide for the kids to play... 😍

Nice view.. So beautiful beach.. No swimming because dangerous.. Have a horsing activity

Samila Beach is more beautiful than 10years before I came. Clean and peaceful place to relax for all visitors and local

Come here twice in a year. Personally I like this beautiful beach with clear water, fine sand, windy, walking along the beach while enjoy local coconut ice cream. The statue of mermaid, cat, mouse & black stone each represented an interesting story. Crowded at weekend and shops are open too. 2nd came on weekdays, less shop & stall are open for business. Bring umbrella & cap especially on hot noon.

Another tourist spot in Songkhla. Plenty of snack & restaurant. There is horse riding too.

Best place for picnic & spend time with family. Peaceful & calm. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea & take awesome pictures of various statues at the beach, complete with the description of the statues, even some got interesting stories. 🏖️ There are horse riding at the beach too. You guys can try. Awesome 😎 The viral Amazon cafe also available near the beach too 😄

Beautiful place, perfect for an early morning or late afternoon walk to appreciate the sunrise or sunset. The Golden Mermaid statue is a famous landmark here.

Great place to be honest. The view was very eye-catching. Even there was a little bit hot temperature 😅

Tourist spot. Got a lots of souvenirs shops. Price quite cheap. Horse riding activity.

The sandy beach is quite dirty. The restaurant prices are high and only sell seafood, but there are plenty of vendors with more affordable choices and good icecream. The waves are rough, so no swimming. Incomparable with the beaches up northeast towards Surat Thani and the west coast of course. But worth a stop.

Beautiful beaches with white sand and clear water. The water is not too deep, and is suitable for children. Quite busy on weekends and evenings. 🏄🏻‍♂️🌴

Check-in point, gather friends and family, relax and have fun according to each person's style.

Imagine beautiful long sandy beach like the one you can see in Miami. There are actually two beaches connecting at the mermaid sculpture. Personally, I prefer starting taking a walk from the mermaid to the end of the shorter beach called Samila, while the other is called Chalathat. If you are a sunset collector, you come to the right place. Peace ✌🏼

Nice place for horse riding, only 150baht for a horse ride along the beach. Very friendly horse guiders, my kids enjoy so much and ride 4 rounds.

Didn't stay long enough to see what this place has to offer, but we got to see and have photos at the place' famous mermaid statue. Expect to see monkeys around the place. There are usual food and drink stalls around, mats for rent and horseback riding.

one of the must-visit places. many shops on the side of the road selling local food & drinks.. quite a lot of parking.. clean beach & beautiful view.. only stray dogs roam quite a lot in the beach area looking for food from tourists.. overall recommended👍🏻

Very pretty beach, however not good for swimming. There are snack sellers and several clothing shops, but if you want to eat a meal, you need to go a little farther along the peninsula to where the restaurants are. You can ride a horse along the beach. Toilets are ok, and cost 5b. There were a few tour busses stopped at the beach while I was there, so the area around the statue was really crowded, but there's enough room to spread out. There's a 7-11 right there and Amazon Cafe across the street.

It's like normal beach side with stall and food. There are kite, riding house activities but definitely not recommend to swim. Not bad

a suitable place for leisure whether as a family or single, there are some interesting activities to do, places to take selfies and ootd, there are various stalls selling food, souvenirs and clothes.

nice area for hangout,beach activities

Nice beach to stroll and relax. Well equipped with some of benches and nice statues. Also horses. And mermaid. And nice island across the horizon.

Beautiful beach and nice view. Worth of journey to here.

Long stretched beach with lots of spaces. Though you will find lots of ppl, there will be place for you to just sit and enjoy. It has free public parking nearby with lots of spots. If full, you can just park along the road. Wish Bangkok has a place like this

Typical nice seaside view, but there are nothing much beside the beach

Well, after visiting some traditional market, modern market. Now come to beach, yap Samila Beach. If i am not mistake, corellation among Samila Beach and Songkhla City is, Samila Beach is situated in Songkhla City. Yet, I am not visiting another places in Songkhla City, just Samila Beach only. Then I can say Wow, the waves of this beach is too high and risk and also wind blow too. How to describe then.. 😁 For sure, every edge of beach settled by red marked or red flag, it means that DANGEROUS. Be carefull, if you want to take picture no need to close to the waves. 😁

I love this beach so much😍 a nice healing place. This beach not too crowded. I love spending my time on there with some sausage with spesial Thai sauce so yummy😍 looking some fisherman's boat, sunset, sunrise. So wonderful💓 don't forget to take a picture with the Golden Mermaid a famouse Statue🤗
