I loved the podcast. I live and work in Narathiwat town and it's always a great thing hearing travellers' good experiences visiting the area.

My gf is from Yala, so I'm pretty familiar with the place as well, though Narathiwat beats Yala anytime imho.

This story highlights the fact that although for most Westerners the deep South is a no go area the fact remains that the troubles are not aimed at Westerners and that the locals are very welcoming towards us. You will receive many spontaneous offers of generosity from some very lovely people.

I would add however that if you do visit you should take some precautions and above all listen the the advice of locals about place or times to avoid - generally I would avoid being in the countryside after dark

I am looking forward to reading more about the area as at the moment I have had to cancel my regular planed trips to the deep south owning to Covid and miss my friends in the area greatly
