RM2B021AM–Thailand: Viharn, Wat Matchimawat, Songkhla. Wat Matchimawat was built in the 17th century CE and is one of Songkhla's most important temples. The name Songkhla is actually the Thai corruption of Singgora; its original name means 'the city of lions' in Malay. This refers to a lion-shaped mountain near the city of Songkhla. Songkhla was the seat of an old Malay Kingdom with heavy Srivijayan influence. In ancient times (200-1400 CE), Songkhla formed the northern extremity of the Malay Kingdom of Langkasuka. The city-state then became a tributary of Nakhon Sri Thammarat.
