Thesaban
Thesaban ( th, เทศบาล, , ) are the municipalities of Thailand. There are three levels of municipalities: city, town, and sub-district.

Songkhla Lake

Here it contains brackish water about half the salinity of seawater. Further north, after a narrowing to 6 km width, is the ''Thale Luang'' (782.80 km2).
