Leaving Myanmar, we headed down South for the frequently mis-informed Thailand states of Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala. No tensions felt although the presence of police and soldiers were everywhere. As always about Thailand, the people was ever friendly, good food, beautiful beaches in Narathiwat and inviting corners enroute from Yala to Betong..
