Phattalung was my favourite spot. Stunning scenary, free caves and a bird lake. The town has lots of donut shops and steak restaurants.

 

Hat Yai is ok, Songkhla old town really nice plus there's an island there.

update

the  Aiterwebg;s sea of Mist this morning was absolutely stunning,  Fantastic views 
we did NOT do the skywalk ( 40 baht Thai, 200 for Farang + 30 baht each for special socks) ) as the viewing point was much better an free
worth the whole trip down

next stop was the  Piyamit Tunnel "

Quote

is a historical site nestled deep within the lush forests of southern Thailand’s Yala province. Built in the late 1970s by communist insurgents, the tunnel stretches for over 1 kilometer with 9 narrow entrances/exits paths was used as a hideout and operational base during the Malaysian Communist insurgency. Surrounded by dense greenery, the tunnel complex is camouflaged by nature, blending seamlessly with the forested hillsides."

again , great 

Than the flower gardens , nice as gf loves flowers

 Betong hot springs which was fairly disappointing, dirty water, most of the pools were closed but it was free

if you have the time , makes a great get away 

The drive down is also amazing
