Yala
The landlocked province of Yala is the administrative center of southern Thailand and is home to a pretty, well-organized city with numerous parks and ponds. Otherwise, the city itself offers few tourist attractions, although the local seafood restaurants are very popular with Thai and Malaysian visitors. Outside of Yala, however, numerous waterfalls, caves, and other natural beauties beckon exploration.
The population of Yala is a fascinating mix of Thai Buddhists, Thai Muslims, and Thai Chinese. With these diverse beliefs and cultural traditions, Yala is another great place for anyone interested in learning more about people.
Explore Yala City and admire its historic buildings. Take a boat trip on Than Lake. Hike along the nature trails. Visit the Bang Lang Dam. Relax in the Beton hot springs.
Yala offers a wide variety of cuisine, including Central Thai, Southern Thai, Chinese, and Muslim dishes. In Betong, which has a large Chinese community, minced chicken and braised pork belly with taro are particularly popular.
Popular souvenirs from Yala include fresh fruit, food, and handcrafted products. Many of these are OTOP items.
Due to regional unrest, visitors to Yala should exercise particular caution and remain vigilant regarding their personal safety.
