YALA
Thailand's southernmost province, Yala is extremely mountainous,
with lush forests, waterfalls and great cultural diversity. Mosques
and Buddhist temples are found around every corner. Wat Khuha Phimuk
sits in front of a limestone cave complex housing a large and highly
venerated reclining Buddha from the Srivijaya period, made around
750 AD.
Ban Sakai is home to the aboriginal Sakai people, descendants of
the race that once populated the Malay Peninsula. Today they grow
rice and work in rubber plantations around their traditional village.
