Thailand: The view from the Thaksin Folklore Museum, Ko Yo (Yo Island), over the Thale Sap Songklha (Songkhla Lake) and the Prem Tinsulanonda Bridges. Established by the Institute for Southern Thai Studies in 1991, this museum, set in an attractive series of Thai sala-type buildings, features a library on southern Thai culture, and a series of exhibits on southern culture. General Prem Tinsulanonda (1920 - 2019) was a Thai military officer who served as Prime Minister of Thailand from March 3, 1980 to August 4, 1988. Songkhla was the seat of an old Malay Kingdom with heavy Srivijayan influence.
