At present I’m on an inspection trip of the deep south of Thailand with my friend Frans. Today we left Songkhla (I’ll post about it later) and drove to Pattani. According to travel warnings from various countries this is dangerous territory, Thai version of Black Hawk Down... Granted, there are more than a few military checkpoints along the way and armed soldiers in town, but I still consider crossing a busy street in Bangkok more tricky! Overall friendly people, tasty food,
