Kao Seng
Muang Songkhla Songkhla
It is situated in Muang Songkhla. “Kao Seng” is the name of a beach and also refers to the rock on the cliff that is one of an unproved legend that there is some 900,000 Baht worth of treasure hidden under the rock since the old days of Siam
Literally, “kao” is a Thai word for “nine”, “seng” might be derived from “saen”, meaning “a hundred thousand”. So the “Koa Seng” might truly refer to a treasure of 900,000 Baht (it should be of higher value now).
The scenery from the rock, within the compound of a Buddhist temple there, is quite an impressive one. Just imagine, in a nice sunny day, facing the right view standing a view of the rock itself and the sea, and to the left is another beautiful view of the rock, the sea, fishing boats, and Kao Seng Beach. The Cat and Rat Islands can be seen at a far distance beyond the rock.
Entering the temple compound, you should behave properly because the rock is also within the Buddhist monks' sacred place.
How to get there?
Regular Hatyai-Songkhla bus is the cheapest way to get to Songkhla. Take it and get off at the Kao Seng intersection. It is about 1 km from the intersection to the beach and about 1.5 km to the rock. Turning right into a small concrete road. You may take a motorbike taxi that cost about 10 Baht/person.
