The lake at Ban Lang national park

Continuing from The road to Yala.

A few kilometres further we saw a stop that gives clearer views of the lake.

Actually more than 13 km of the road we took passed along the nook and crannies of the lake.

But the views are often blocked by trees, bushes and thick growth.

Here we got to get good views and thus spent some time relaxing at the hut besides.

Our map shows it as the Ban Lang lake, referring to the Ban Lang national park.

It was only while writing this article at home that I found out the lake was formed by the Pattani river referring to a Malay kingdom which used to rule a big portion of what is now southern Thailand.
