No more rats in Hat Yai than elsewhere in LoS. Why the bias mikebell?

A walk on Beach Rd (Pattaya) or Silom Rd. (Bangkok) would have yield more offenders selling sex-toys than the one in Yala.
But the same POLICE did already a short walk in Walking Street and found no prostitution ....Not enough money to fill a brown envelope in Yala apparently.

Capt Steve? Unique in some special way, ferry steerers are everywhere, I personally know half a dozen here, all oz quals.
Capt. Steven Ponter, aka HammerMan.
Not just any old geezer.

All these ferry routes are dead in the water. Captain Steve has recently retired, so no chance of any restart in the near future.

I often walk right next to where the bomb went off. Scary to think it could happen at any time. Inshallah my loved ones and I will be spared from disaster.

Wait a minute. Can I already pay across the border in, let's say Malaysia, using my Thai account, by scanning their QR codes?

These past 2-3 weeks there's been attacks everyother day. With cops and soldiers either injured or killed.
Yes, the insurgency has its temporary flare-ups.
Hopefully, one day a comprehensive peace agreement or long-standing cease-fire between all parties involved will be achieved. But I'm not hopeful.

Im amazed they have never targeted other areas of Thailand, especially the tourist areas,
Why would they? It's a local conflict.

I recall crossing the border coming up from Kota Baru back when, and upon seeing a road sign for Narathiwat I experienced the hair on the back of the neck reaction.
One day I was headed for Penang, and I later found out that about a half hour after my bus left Hat Yai that they blew up the downtown McD's.
Yikes!
POLO had a website, I think it is no more. I appreciated something it said about how they are not targeting foreigners, but keep out of our way or you may get hurt.
I never worry. Foreigners haven't been deliberately targeted in 20 years of conflict. Besides, if it's my time, then it's my time. Only God knows when that is.

I haven't been keeping track, has this kind of stuff been going on in recent it times?
Things went quiet 10+ years ago, or maybe I just haven't heard.
Strange that it would pick up now that you-know-who is back.
Though it's become much quieter, with fewer incidents, the conflict has never quite stopped since 2004.
I live in Narathiwat btw, so I experience the insurgency firsthand.

I guess @DaLa hasn't actually done it himself. Google clearly thinks it can be done, as it offers walking directions.
Unless you're lucky enough to find somebody who's already done it themselves, it's up to you if you trust Google.
(edit) If you're not worried too much about the possibility of failure, you could always just try to follow the route, and if you do get stuck then just call a taxi to finish the journey off.
Guess that's gonna be the plan: just see how far I come, and hold a taxi whenever I get stuck.

This brings a whole new meaning to the term “Cheap Charlie”.
I’m all for exercise but on the day of departure/arrival transport is the best option.
Not the day of arrival or departure. Just dropping off a car at the terminal in the early evening, after dark. I love walking and my hotel will probably be close, in the King Kaew Rd./ Lat Krabang area, so why not? Not doing it to save money, but just for the heck of it.

Depends where your rental company drop off is, I would think. You're asking the wrong people, without giving enough info.
Drop-off is in front of the terminal.

Dont the rental have shuttle service or parking drop at the airport?
In this heat walking, and then fly out? Or you saving money for massage and shower? Lounge ?
Not asking for justification.
I love walking, especially when unobstructed by a suitcase. My hotel will be right outside of the airport. In theory, at least, could I walk there from Suvarnabhumi?

Not doing it with luggage. Have to drop a rental car first, so can walk without carrying anything.
But, is this a viable route? Parts of it look accessible to motorized traffic only.
-
Just curious: is there a way for someone to reach the BKK Airport terminal on foot from the outside (Lat Krabang)?
In particular, I am interested in actual walkable paths, not risking my life on the busy, clearly-not-suitable-for-pedestrian, roads leading directly to the terminal.

Of devout Moslems looking for a jump I guess?
Muslims looking for a good time don't even visit Hat Yai anymore. They have different outlets for that purpose.

No real answer, but I did a teaching course of a Philippine university and did not the diploma recognized. All in all, I am still teaching unqualified. Buyer be ware!

Let the public decide what to do with this animal: chop him into bits, burn him alive or skin him and drop his bloody body into a pit full of flesh-eating maggots.😝
