No, you are correct, the popular areas are north of the violence, but not far north.
Malaysia is nice, too, though, and tourists go THROUGH that region (I did) to get to Malaysia. I actually took a minibus (really a small van) from the Krabi area to Georgetown, Malaysia. It was myself and my friend, and the rest of the guys were musicians from the middle east—Iran? (was 20 years ago).
