The old and new palaces of the provincial governor are located right next to each other and now house the Phatthalung Museum (it's called the Phatthalung Museum and can be found on Google Maps, for example). In my opinion, it's not necessarily worth a visit for a short stay in Phatthalung, but it's definitely worth seeing for history buffs. Be sure to check the opening hours. Personally, I found the nearby Wat Wang temple more interesting.

Admission: THB 50. Open daily from 9 am to 12 pm and from 1 pm to 4 pm, except Mondays and Tuesdays and on public holidays in Thailand.

One of the local buses goes there, but I didn't see the route number. I went there myself using one of the Merdelong Hotel's bicycles.

How to get there

How do you get to the rulers' palaces (New and Old, Phatthalung Museum)? There's a public bus that goes there, but I couldn't find the route number. I went there myself using one of the bicycles from the Merdelong Hotel.
