Nice report Tom, and the photos look excellent ,....always love to hear more about the south as im looking for a new area to explore. |
yusamile,
Betong itself is easier accessed from Malaysia. The road from Yala is an absolute nightmare hence my comments about it being remote. If you're down that neck of the woods (Penang/Butterworth) then it would be worth the trip. Betong itself is pretty safe though and the police/army presence was negligible.
