Anyone been to the deep south recently
OK: Headed out from Phuket to Songkla, stayed at the old, but still best, BP Samila resort with great views. I think there were like 20 rooms occupied in the whole place , great views and had a great seafood meal next door, ( the only ones there eating) next day headed south to Betong. Stopped along the way at Bang Lang lake> decided to stay near the Sea of mist rather than drive another 30 KMs to Betong and glad we did as got to sleep another 30 minutes ( we were still on the road at 5:30 ) but it was only a 8 minute drive in the dark> The Views are amazing and photos dont capture the scene> Did not do the sky walk as it was 200 baht for foreigners ( 40 for thai) and it is fenced in so cant take photos clearly but walked to the view point above> spent about an hour watching the sunrise and had a cup of coffee as well before heading back to the hotel an on to Betong> Onn the way to Betong stopped at the Piyamit Tunnels ( used by the Malay Communist up till 1975) , Nice museum and a 1.8 km walk truth the tunnels in the hillside. Next stop was the Flower gardens where u take a small shuttle and have 2 stops to view the flowers> Than had a dip in the Betong hot springs ( free) not so hot nor was the water very clean. its to bad they dont do upkeep on the place. Stayed at the Princess Butterfly hotel ( a biker's hotel) corner room on hte 4th floor for 800 baht, Betong is a tourist town for Malaysian, Lots of hotels, Massage parlors, Karaoke's and even a few bars, had a good cheap local meal of curries Next day headed up to Trang, been there many times but never spent much time there, this time we did as visited the excellent central night market for dinner, the largest selection of food i have seen anywhere an cheapest by 30%-40 over Phuket. The Trang train station and walked around a bit .Stayed at a boutique hotel ( Raiwin Place only 580 baht) , highly recommended Overall the roads were nice, the trip between Yalla and Betong ( went down one way, back the other side of the lake) was great as always> love having Amazon coffee at every rest room stop 🙂 I love the south, few tourist's, lots to see & fantastic scenery.

I don't think you'd want to come back. The odds are stacked against you finding a better state of existence. -
