Hi ! Thaivisitor
Thanks for the clarification.
For that trip in Dec 2002, I went from HY to Betong and then Betong to Yala which took about 4 hours on the same day.
Did not realise that there is direct bus to Yala.
Glad to hear that HY is still peaceful and you are ok too.
Hope to catch up with you in HY in my next trip.
Cheers
Simnon

It is Betong, a town of Yala province which Bro Simnon is talking about where you need 4 hours and is Chinese Majority, and has quite a lot of action even in the afternoon. I go there once a month. So don't confuse Betong with Yala main town which is muslim dominated.
Finally, just to let everyone know, hotels during this Festive period of Deepavali and Hari Raya has gone up by about 50%.
Hope this info helps.
