 |
 Narathiwat,
facing the Gulf of Thailand and bordering Malaysia, is best known for
the large and vibrant frontier town of Sungai Golok. As a rail junction,
it is a major communications crossroads and a place offering a wealth
of shopping and entertainment.
Elsewhere, Narathiwat boasts one of the
South's most beautiful beaches, a 2 km stretch of fine white sand just
outside the provincial capital, while notable among the cultural attractions
are the 24 m high golden seated Buddha image of Mingmongkhon Thaksin,
Thaksin Ratcha Nivet Palace and the old Buddhist temple of Wat Chonthala
Singhe.
