No5 Hostel Songkhla is in the Mueang Songkhla area of Songkhla, a historic town on a narrow strip of land between the Gulf of Thailand and Songkhla Lake. The streets mix old shophouses with Buddhist temples and mosques, and the pace stays relaxed. The setting is a working provincial town rather than a resort coast, so the day is spent exploring on foot and by road rather than on the beach.

The pagoda of Phra Chedi Luang is 350 m away, and the hill of Khao Tang Kuan, reached by a hill lift, is 400 m away. The Songkhla National Museum is 600 m away, and the Songkhla City Clock Tower and the Sculpture Park are also nearby. Most of the sights are within a few hundred metres of the property, so they are easy to reach on foot. Hat Yai International Airport is 37 km away, and the town is reached by road.

A good day here could begin at the pagoda and the hill, then continue to the museum and the clock tower on foot, since the sights are close together. The old streets between them make an unhurried walk, and the night market, 1.6 km away, is a good place to finish the day with dinner.
