Haha..Me really noob when comes to Thai.

Only few words...esp the countimng system bcos having similar chinese sounding haha..

Also knew expensive = Pheng ..remembered well bcos the opposite of cantones for cheap haha

planning to go Betong early July..looks forward to visit the communist camp.

wud recommend Betong since ive been there more than 10 times.
food recommended there : Chicken rice, Seafood, Dim sum, and "Tong Shui"
but only if you know where to find. cos diff stalls and restaurants diff price and taste.
its a far journey but worth it cos cheap.
Even their hotel there RM50 only per night and not those ciplak wan. at least 3 stars and above.
Have fun there!

No longer cheap liao lah..A bowl of beehoon soup & Tomyum beehoon I ate at the backk row of the Post Box already cost me RM4/bowl days ago..KL price hor

Bro, recommend la the specific place /outlet or shop name / GPS location!

And which hotel RM50 per night?

Day trip can liao-lah very small town..nothing much to do even at nite

May i know use how to go there if by driving? Google map show me a super long way.

IPOH - kuala kangsar - gerik - pengkalan hulu - BETONG

Another faster way> go further using PLUS after Kuala Kangsar to Juru Toll. Turn in to Kulim at Butterworth interchange and use the Kulim Butterworth highway to Kulim > Pengkalan Hulu > Betong// musch faster.. Last time from Penang Island direct to Betong only 1.5hr
