Anybody living or has lived in Betong?

Is it so?

I guess it's relative, but the difference between Betong at 280m elevation and Hat Yai at 10m elevation isn't really that much. Humidity levels are similar, but annual rainfall is higher. I don't know anyone living there, it's pleasant enough, though the last time I was there is nearly 30 years ago. Easy flight connections from Penang, only 125km away.

I've been there multiple times, but don't live there, nor do I know any foreigner who does.

Would I live there? Probably not, as it's so far from anywhere else in Thailand and the airport is not being used at all commercially.
