Motorbike taxi cost only RM3.00 from the border to the Golok town here. Becarefull for the illegal/broker taxi which will try to overcharge tourist like us. They did approach me for RM10.00 but fortunately I am alert enough to know the Motorbike taxi price here is not that expensive.
Hotels here are very cheap e.g RM40 – RM70 and the budget motel is RM20 per night. As I am taking my night walk around the town I notice quite a number of army men equip with their M16 scouting around the town with their motorbike. The local told me 2 weeks ago there’s a bomb exploded in a car causing several people injured and 3 died. The car was parked outside a restaurant. 4 days ago they found 30+ explosive at Betong but all this is never disclose by the media. As you can see very less tourist visiting the Golok town now comparing last time the whole street is filled with people at night but it became a quiet street now. Hope that the new government will do better this time to improve the safety of the innocent public here.
The wave of violence in Southern Thailand that began in January 2004 has continued unabated to date. Nearly 2,000 attacks have taken place in the region and the bloodshed has claimed almost 1,000 victims. According to the local, they beleived Thaksin iron fist administration is the one who caused all this commotion and chaos. News explores the possible reasons behind the current violence in southern Thailand with a focus on the violent events that took place on 28 April 2004, which resulted in the death of 107 Muslim militants in the southern Thai provinces of Pattani, Yala and Songkhla. The Tak Bai incident is an event that occurred on October 25, 2004 in Tak Bai, Thailand, which resulted in at least 85 deaths. Six local men were arrested. A demonstration was organized to demand their release and the police called in army reinforcements. After some demonstrators threw rocks and attempted to storm the police station, security forces used tear gas and gunfire in response.
I have no advise and no comment for my friends to visit this area and other parts of southern Thailand but if you asked me, I can come back here anytime, the local people here are friendly and I am comfortable with them.

The first bomb went off at 6.30am local time (7.30am Malaysian time), destroying three of the six posts. Fifteen minutes later another bomb exploded nearby, forcing the closure of the busy bridge which connects Golok in Thailand and Rantau Panjang in Kelantan, Malaysia.
