When I was in 3rd BN my team spent a good bit of time in Songkhla, waaay south in Thailand. Not far from Thai-Malay border. Nice beaches. There is a mix of problems in the south as Rob states, not the least of which is Muslim and Chinese Communist guerrillas through the 80s and other issues to include the Pattani Separatism outbreak. Many Chinese settled there. Historically the city was the scene of heavy fighting when the Japanese invaded.
