built in the Sumatran style and known locally as the 'central mosque'. It was reputedly
built by a prince of the former kingdom of Pattani over a hundred years ago.

Just north of town is Hat Narathat, a 5km-long sandy beach fronted by towering pines,
which serves as a public park for locals. The beach is only 2km from the town centre -

gold-coloured mosaic tiles that glint magically in the sun.
