I’m glad I decided to come here; it was mid morning and not a soul was here. There is some beautiful architecture here worth viewing and and an informative sign with a history. Highly recommend.

I considered very lucky to have a chance to visit this temple which was built very long ago. In the shrine hall, the drawing was really artistic and very beautiful.

Wat Matchimawat (or Wat Klang) has considered as the essential monastery in Songkhla town.
It was believed that Wat klang was built firstly, Later on, Wat Liep was built in the north together with Wat Pho was built in the south, then a local community people has changed the named to Wat Klang (klang refers to middle,similar as Matchima).
Not only the beautiful ancient building structure, this temple also has a Museum that has collected the precious ancient artifacts gathered from various places around this area.
definitely worth for visiting place.

This probably Songkla's most interesting Buddhist Temple and grounds-- but also its most frustrating! The frustration relates to the infrequency of its being open to Buddhists as well as visitors!! The architecture and colour are impressive-- and the "Temple grounds" can captivate one's attention! It is very well worth a visit!!

The paintings in the shrine were amazing and beautiful. Some trees and pavilion nearby provided much needed shade. Peaceful place

This is perhaps the most attractive of the temples located in Songhkla and is well worth a visit when you're there. It's easily accessible on foot from the old town and combined with a visit to the old town. Seems to have been recently restored and is relatively well maintained.

Impressive aritecture but lack of maintenance I think, looks untidy the day we visited.
Cozy windy day with blue sky, was very relaxing spot for us. Because it was closed, we were able to enjoy the garden with the dogs and building aritecture only!
