Some relatives and I just came back from Hatyai and everything seemed okay. We did see people being bussed off to BKK to take part in the protests (they were handed hard hats as they got on the bus, I was told) but apart from that, it was business as usual.
On the day we took a van in, there were 10 big buses and 15 vans (each seating 12 people) from Malaysia at the border. It was a long weekend in Malaysia but on the day we came out, there were 2 big buses and six vans, so it seems as if normally cautious Malaysians aren't too worried about going into LOS for their regular shopping expeditions.
