Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala in general are best avoided. Phattalung is OK but not a lot happening. The islands off Satun or some of the beach areas (Khanom) near Nakhorn Sri Thammarat are worth a visit. The islands off Satun can be done by the Tigerline Ferry from Phuket/Lanta/Phi Phi to Langkawi.
