Golden Mermaid Statue

The busiest place on this beach is around the Mermaid statue, it takes a long time to take a photo in front of the statue, because the queue is long, the beach is clean, the location is fun to explore and there are souvenir shops & drink sellers available

Beautiful beach to spend your evenings! There are local vendors nearby for quick snacks and souvenirs. This is a small size statue roughly human size. People were in queue to get pictures taken with the mermaid though 😁

💢 You may need to queue in order to take the pictures with the statue. Around this area there are local vendors where you can get souvenirs and street foods. If you come from Hatyai Town, it will take 40 min journey to here. Advisable to rent a bike, by tuk tuk or Grab.

‼ This mermaid was sculpted in 1966 by Jitr Buabus, the former director of the Arts and Craft College in Bangkok. It was constructed with a budget of 60,000 Baht funded by Songkhla Municipality and has become the symbol of Samila Beach ever since.

Beautiful place. The statue is historic, and there's a lovely story behind it. The statue itself is placed on a rock overlooking the South China Sea. Best to visit on weekdays as it can get crowded on weekends. Plenty of drink and snack kiosks nearby as well.

Had fun sitting here..love the wind blowing...refreshing..the coconut ice cream is a must when u sit there

This very famous beach is located in Songkla.The attraction here is the mermaid and the beautiful beach with lots of souvenirs to buy at reasonable price.

Amazing spot to people watch as people crowd around the mermaid. There are benches to sit on. Buy an ice cold drink and watch the waves.

Samila beach in Songkla,enjoy coconut ice cream in the middle of stone

A good place to get some sea breeze and snacks

Went to Samila Beach by coincidence they have the Sangora Festival there. The food is great and such a very relaxing place to hangout!

The Mermaid Sculpture was unique. It attracted a lot of tourists to visit this place.
It was a relaxing place to chill under the shades if the weather was good.
It's worth a trip to take photos with this Sculpture.

Nice beach in Songkhla.. tourist visit spot.. recommended

Night time by the seaside very windy, cooling and refreshing.

Beautiful samila beach facing gulf of thailand. The mermaid is naked 🙈

Check Weather report before booking transport to here as its a 1 and a half hour drive from hatyai city centre.

The day I came it's raining heavily so didn't get to see what's around there

Best place in Hat Yai , many people , many sellers , food sellers and friendly people there. Recommended! I will be back again here soon.

Something you had to see and take pictures with as proof you arrived in Samilla Beach. Quite a long queue taking turns to take pictures with it but not consuming much time if everyone understands that you shouldn't be taking long time posing etc when others are waiting.

Intresting beach with soft sand and superb food...
Pls take note that they serve rice quite alot.. If for 2 person , just order one plate n enjoy the beach view...
