"Peaceful and scenic spot with calm waters and soft sand. It’s not a busy tourist beach, so don’t expect many facilities, but it’s perfect if you want a quiet walk, a relaxing view, or to enjoy the local coastal atmosphere."

"Nice scenic spot, next to the temple - Wat Khao Kao Saen. To come to this rock, Google maps this temple."
CS Lew
"It's located 5.2km from Songkhla Clock Tower or 29km from Hatyai Clock Tower.
It's not really difficult to find the route, but just be more careful. The junction is near a sharp corner into a small lane.
After passing a bridge, on your left hand side, there's a 7e, then turn left up in front, turn right and all the way to the top of the hill.
Nice beautiful scenery with a temple 🛕 on the opposite side.
Nice spot to take photos.
Parking space is available.
All free😀"
