New Route Linking Yala Province to Malaysia
A new route has been built to link Betong district in the southern border province of Yala to Malaysia. The route will facilitate goods transportation and shorten traveling time between Thailand and the Malaysian border.
Yala is the location of a gigantic Reclining Buddha from the Srivijaya period (8th – 13th centuries A.D.), which is one of the most important monuments in southern Thailand. Another unique feature of this province is the presence of a Sakai tribal village, where local residents still lead their traditional lifestyle. Statistics in 2009 shows that the population in Yala was 480,344; more than 70 percent were Muslim and almost 30 percent Buddhist. There are 455 mosques and 45 Buddhist temples.
Betong, about 115 kilometers from the town of Yala, is on the border with Malaysia and can further link with Indonesia and Malaysia. The swallow is regarded as the symbol of Betong, where thousands of birds migrate between September and March each year. The biggest letterbox in the world is found here, and “Betong chicken,” the most popular dish, has made a name for this district.
The Southern Border Provinces Administrative Center has set a target to develop Betong Airport as a commercial airport in the future. The one-billion-baht project is expected to begin in 2013 and it will take a few years to complete. This airport will link with Hat Yai International
Airport in Songkhla, Phuket International Airport in Phuket, and Narathiwat
Airport in Narathiwat, as well as other airports in neighboring countries. It will contribute to trade, investment, and tourism development in the deep South, and will facilitate exports of halal food to foreign
