Had Yai This Month

[fatpapa]

I am thinking about taking a trip to Had Yai later this month but have been told by serveral people in Bangkok not to bother as its not safe. Is this good advice should I stay in Bangkok?

Anyone there or been there recently?

Thanks for your help.

OH hatyai is very safe unlike pattani,yala or narathiwat....I go there every month.Don't worry too much and take it easy.

Yes I was there a 2 days ago returning from a trip to Malaysia. No worries. The recent violence is in the south east, Hat Yai has seen little violence. And even then, did you flee from Bkk when a few people died in the december turmoil?

I would not worry and just go.
