This is where the journey begins… 🇹🇭 - I was told not to come here. Southern Thailand’s deep south — provinces like Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat — have a reputation that keeps most travellers away. But instead of listening, I decided to start my journey in the southernmost town in Thailand… Betong. Over the next few days, I’ll be riding all the way from Betong to Bangkok — exploring places most people never see along the way. But first… what is Betong really like? In this episode, I explore the town, meet locals, and visit some of the most unique spots in the area — from mountain viewpoints and natural hot springs to hidden waterfalls and historic tunnels deep in the jungle. This is a side of Thailand that might surprise you. 🌏 Get an Exclusive NordVPN deal + 4 months extra here → https://nordvpn.com/paddydoyle It’s risk-free with Nord’s 30-day money-back guarantee!✌️ 🗺️ - Locations Featured: 📍 Betong - https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZG3LyBw6ob9S9... 📍 Piyamit Tunnels - https://maps.app.goo.gl/2MQQkzNkAYyFh... 📍 Hot Springs - https://maps.app.goo.gl/rpBpMsDKznors... 📍 Road Side Waterfall - https://maps.app.goo.gl/FXZdoLLtDymXf... 📍 Breakfast Dim Sum Spot - https://maps.app.goo.gl/3BCxhaMZZvYdy...
