This global initiative highlights destinations with sustainable tourism practices, and Songkhla Old Town has been selected under the title "Songkhla Old Town Revival: A Community-Driven Transformation." The project focuses on the community’s role in restoring and preserving this historical town.


This achievement is a result of the hard work of Songkhla Heritage Trust, established in 2013, which has driven the preservation of Songkhla’s unique cultural and architectural heritage.
