The Thai cabinet has approved a proposal from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to nominate Songkhla and its associated lagoon settlements for UNESCO World Heritage Site listing.

 

Deputy government spokesperson Kaenika Oonchit said that Songkhla and its associated lagoon settlements, which are located in four districts of the province, namely Ranot, Sathing Phra, Singhanakhon and Muang, have unique characteristics worthy of listing.

 

Songkhla Lake is a lagoon which is connected to the Gulf of Thailand and is the only inland lake in Thailand with brackish (slightly saline) water. This produces a unique and diverse ecological system.

They need to reduce the amount of rubbish and general <deleted> that get's dumped or discharged into the lake, and make greater efforts to protect the mangroves, otherwise it'll just become a UNESCO World Disaster Site.
