Betong is a district of Yala Province, situated in the southernmost province of Thailand in Sankalakhiri mountain range. With an are of 1,328 sq. km, it borders the Malaysian states of Kedah and Perak. Its terrain is mostly mountainous and hilly with forested plateaus.
About 1,900 feet above sea level, it is 140km from Yala and 1,224km from the capital city of Bangkok. It takes 2.5 hours drive from Taiping to Betong. The food in Betong is something like the one we can find in Malaysia but the taste is totally difference and is nice.
The food prices is almost the same like Taiping and and they can speak Malay and Chinese languages. I have a good experience shooting in Betong, the people is quite friendly. Special thanks to my friend who take the trouble to take me to Betong for my photo shooting. For more photos please visit:
