Guide us to take a Thai taxi, while my bud ride back of a Thai moto.

This is much riskier, the safer way is to approach some Imm officer and they will gladly "lead" you the way, asking price is RM80 ~ RM100 but I am usually borderless and have been safely crossing till now.

Sent us straight to Grand View. Saw this hotel for the 1st time. Wat a dump! For RM50 per night, it is value for money explain by my fren, who was here last month! Went 2 my room 330. One word to describe it. HUGE. Spacious but a letdown b'cos broken tiles on the bathroom, no water hose gun b'hind the toilet n tv remote.

This is the most strategically located hotel with all the farms within walking distance, AGoGo at main entrance and one of the more active disco with a small casino too but of course, it was built 12 years ago and was poorly maintained. I would prefer Penthouse, further in from opp of the police station, priced at 660b. Though a little far, but much more comfy and cosier.

They use slot key power on system but the front portion was broken. Had problems. My frends rooms are the same. The day is just getting better! Mayb I'm just picky. Settle in, went d\stairs, stalk by WL agents everywhere. I mean can't walk down the streets without someone grabbin u n proclaiming their joint hv very chio, dek-dek & great service oriented chicks. Totally diff from Danok n Haadyai, places I'm used to. A lot of Malay Thai workin as agents. Trilangual: BM, Thai n Canto. Majority ppl here can speak good canto. Great for a guy who can't speak other than Canton like yours truly.

With Danuk started picking up last few years, Hokkien cheongsters (mainly those from Penang) started to drop while Canto cheongsters is growing good. Previously, only handful could speak Canto.

Betong is still a small town, tirak trap is the name of the game. It's either you got shitty treatment or you get traps laid all over if you seems potential. Service quality is pretty rare.

PRC growing more popular too but dont place too high expectation, its nothing in comparison with what you found in Spore KTV or even Geylang Golden Triangle.
