Laem Son On is a coastal area on the northern side of Samila Beach, formed by natural sediment accumulation and coastal changes over time. It extends into Songkhla Lake and features a unique coastal ecosystem that blends the sea and beach forest environments.

The entire area is covered with coastal pine trees (Casuarina equisetifolia), which are highly resistant to salty winds and help prevent coastal erosion. Their roots and canopy create a shaded, cool atmosphere, making the area suitable for relaxation throughout the day.

Geographically, Laem Son On is a rare viewpoint where visitors can observe the close proximity of Songkhla Lake (brackish and freshwater) and the Gulf of Thailand (saltwater), reflecting Thailand’s unique “two-water” ecosystem. On clear days, the differences in water color and wave patterns on both sides can be clearly seen.

At the tip of the cape stands the monument of Admiral Prince Krom Luang Chumphon Khet Udomsak, a sacred site respected by local fishermen and sailors. It is believed to protect maritime safety, and many people visit to pay respect and pray for safe journeys and successful trade.

Laem Son On is also part of a continuous travel route connecting Sathing Phra Marine Park, Samila Beach, and Songkhla Old Town, making it a popular final stop for visitors seeking a peaceful atmosphere, sea breeze, and beautiful sunset views.

In the evening, sunlight reflects off the water creating golden-orange hues, making it one of the most beautiful sunset spots in Songkhla. It is ideal for photography, walking, jogging, or relaxing picnics under the pine trees.

Overall, Laem Son On represents a blend of natural landscape, spiritual significance, and urban leisure space, reflecting the identity of Songkhla through its sea, forest, and local way of life.

• By car: From Songkhla city center, drive north along Samila Beach Road until the end of the route to reach Laem Son On. Alternatively, from the Old Town area, take Nakhon Nok Road straight through toward the Marine Park area, then continue into Laem Son On.
