The name 'Bor It' refers to historical brick kilns that were once common in this part of Ko Taeo.
The beach faces Songkhla Lake, the largest natural lake in Thailand, which is a brackish lagoon rather than a typical open-ocean beach.
Ko Taeo sub-district, where the beach is located, was historically an important area for traditional ceramic and brick production in the Songkhla province.
The location provides a direct line of sight to the Tinsulanonda Bridge, the longest concrete bridge in Thailand, which connects the mainland to Ko Yo.
The water here is significantly calmer than the open sea at Songkhla's main beaches because it is protected by the inner lake geography.
Bor It Beach is a local recreational coastal area located in the Ko Taeo sub-district of Songkhla, Thailand. Unlike the major tourist-heavy beaches of the region, this site serves primarily as a community-oriented space along the Songkhla Lake waterfront. The beach features a shoreline lined with trees and basic seating structures where locals gather for picnics and sunset views. It is situated on the mainland edge of the Songkhla Lake estuary, offering views across the water toward the historic Ko Yo island. The area is characterized by its tranquil, non-commercialized atmosphere compared to Samila Beach. Visitors can observe local fishing boat activity in the surrounding waters throughout the day. It functions primarily as a public open space rather than a swimming destination due to its proximity to the lake inlet.

Bring your own mat or folding chair as there are limited dedicated beach furniture rentals.
Carry mosquito repellent, especially if visiting during the late afternoon or dusk hours.
Purchase local snacks or drinks from the small food vendors often found near the village entry points.
Do not treat this as a primary swimming beach, as the water quality and depth are better suited for sightseeing and relaxing than for deep-water recreation.
Maintain a modest dress code consistent with local rural Thai customs; avoid overly revealing swimwear away from the water's edge.
