The southernmost of Siam, Betong, which impressed me, a city that is said to be quiet, but when you actually go there, it is not quiet, it is lively, very livable. The houses and buildings look beautiful, whether it is the clock tower made of marble, maintaining its classic style, the Betong Mongkhonrit Tunnel, which is about 270 meters long, with lights along the way. Everyone must go check in. Everything is like the city's architecture, beautiful, simple but not too luxurious. The people there are very lovely, very welcoming. #Betong is more than OK.

The first giant mailbox was located at the corner of Sukyang Road, at the clock tower intersection in the heart of Betong. It was built in 1924, before World War II, by Mr. Songwan Jirajinda, a former postmaster and telegraph officer and former mayor of Betong District. There was a radio on the top of the box. The purpose of the box was to report news of the city to the people of Betong. It has been used as a mailbox to this day. Currently, a new, larger mailbox has been built at the community hall on Sukyang Road. It is 9 meters high and is a popular spot for tourists to stop and take photos as souvenirs. If you visit Betong, don't forget to stop and take photos at this spot. There are two places that are not far from each other.

#Yala #Betong #Alone For this trip, we chose to travel by train, starting from Hua Lamphong to Yala, then taking a bus from Yala to Betong, and then taking a bus from Betong to the foot of Khunung Silipat Mountain. The total time taken was 25 hours and 50 minutes. Wow!! I must say that the 3 southern border provinces are not as scary as you think. It is safe throughout the journey. There will be military checkpoints at intervals. Don't be alarmed. Just open the window and smile sweetly and you will pass. As for the food, I can't not mention it. There are every nook and cranny. You will find it no matter where you go. Most importantly, the prices are reasonable and everything is delicious. Betong chicken is the best. It is so delicious that you will shout it out. Our intention this time was to go up to the top of Khunung Silipat Mountain, but we did not succeed because it rained and the weather was not cooperative. I was a bit disappointed but proud that I dared to come this far. I already intended to go back and have to reach the top of Khunung.⛰️ To be honest, going here is like unlocking the fear from the news I had heard. Everyone is lovely and kind. Going alone is not scary. If you don't know anything or want to know anything, ask. Just ask. Just survive like this and you'll be fine. I'd like you to try traveling. But let me tell you first that there are many ways to travel. It depends on what is convenient for you. If you're not an indie type, not a strong type, not a flirtatious type, not really adventurous, you can cut out the train. #I've warned you 5555 #whereveriwanna #BackpackingcooltoBetong
