The community, characterized by a mix of languages, ethnicities, and religions, coexist harmoniously. It's no wonder that during holidays or festive seasons, numerous Malaysian tourists flock to Betong for a visit.
Anyone who wishes to experience the authentic atmosphere of Betong should make a visit to the Betong Clock Tower. This historic structure has been a part of the town for a long time, standing at the intersection of Sukhayang Road and Rattanakij Road. The area is filled with shops and local food outlets. In the evenings, when the Clock Tower lights up, it becomes a perfect spot for photo-taking and 'check-ins'.
Another must-visit spot is the Betong Mongkolrit Tunnel, the first mountainous vehicle tunnel in Thailand. With a length of about 273 meters, it is especially known for its vibrant decorative lights that add color to the town of Betong, particularly at dusk.
For those who want to experience nature, the Skywalk Sea Fog Ayerweng is a must-visit. It is a popular viewpoint in Yala Province, offering year-round views of the sea fog. The highlight here is the Skywalk, situated more than 2,038 feet above sea level. The walkway, made of transparent glass, spans 61 meters and allows visitors to walk and take in the views of the sea fog in all directions.
