Short answer: Nakhon Si Thammarat has both a temple-rich old city and quiet beaches. For temples and food stay in Nakhon Si Thammarat town, near Wat Phra Mahathat, the markets and southern restaurants, and easy to explore on foot. For the coast head north to Khanom with its long, quiet beaches and pink dolphins; Sichon (Hin Ngam beach) is even calmer, with small resorts good for relaxing.
