Hatyai - Kao Nam Khang

I can never see eye to eye with communism, but here we were in the final rest place for most of the last communist of Malaya. It was more like an unplanned vacation before my brother went off to France. So, we drove all the way from Seremban to the southern region of Thailand, quite a weekend though~

After being supressed greatly by the British administration, some of the Malaya Communist went into hiding in southern Thailand, biding their time.

They even dig an underground tunnel to protect themselves from the Siamese Troop. Strange thing is, the area where they seek refuge is allegedly covered by mist all year long. Even the satellite was not able to peek sneak this place....spooky huh?~

These tanks were once used for rice storage.
