🕳️ Piyamit Tunnels: A Backpacker’s Guide to Betong’s Secret Underground World!

#hatyaiattractions Why These Tunnels are HISTORICALLY COOL: ✅ Used by communist guerrillas during the Cold War era
✅ 1km+ of underground passages – Dark, damp & full of stories
✅ Surreal jungle setting – Feels like an adventure movie
✅ Only 50฿ entry – History that won’t break your budget My Pro Survival Tips: 🔦 Bring a flashlight – Phone lights aren’t bright enough
👟 Wear sturdy shoes – Muddy & slippery inside
🦟 Bug spray essential – Jungle mosquitoes are vicious
📸 No flash photography – Preserve the atmosphere Must-Explore Sections: 1️⃣ Weapons storage room – See vintage rifles (deactivated!)
2️⃣ Hidden escape routes – Some tunnels lead outside
3️⃣ Commander’s quarters – Where strategies were planned
4️⃣ Kitchen area – Stone stoves from the 1970s How to Get There from Betong: 📍 Location: 15km from town (~30-min drive)
🛵 Scooter rental: Best way to explore (~250฿/day)
🚗 Taxi: ~500฿ roundtrip (split with friends) Time Needed: 1.5-2 hours
Perfect For: History buffs & offbeat explorers Pro Tip: Combine with Betong SkyWalk for an adrenaline-packed day! 🌉➕🕳️ #undergroundhistory – Tag your creepiest tunnel shots! 👻📸 P.S. The on-site museum explains the communist conflict – sobering but important context. 🎞️
