    184 teachers killed in southern insurgency
    January 16, 2018

    Southern insurgents have killed 184 teachers in three southern border provinces since the violence flared up in 2004, a senior teacher said on Tuesday.

    The south Thailand issue has long and difficult roots, the British being the the biggest cause of the long term issue but, however much the insurgents are correct in their position of wanting the area back into Malaysian rule, they're clearly total bastards because of the way they're trying to do it.

    The piece refers to 2004 so I wonder what the situation is like in that terrifically beautiful area at the moment.

      The 'issue' goes back a lot longer than that, in fact the Brits were latecomers and, at best, bit players in this whole thing- they merely 'recognized' Siam's sovereignty over Pattani in 1909, after it's seizure by Siam back in 1785. As best I can work out, the three southern provinces that are the modern Thai part of the old Pattani kingdom was never part of Malaya anyway.

      It's also unclear what the insurgents actually want- independence, merger with Malaysia, or some sort of reformation of the old Pattani kingdom- which of course would bring it strait into conflict with Malaysia.

        Muslims protesting in a civilised manner as usual.

          Who'd want to be a teacher in a temple school down there.

          They're barbarians. Can you imagine the Catalonians killing 186 teachers that support Madrid in this day and age?

            Thais should do a deal, give the areas back- as long as all the Muslims in the rest of Thailand fuk off there.

              I think they should sell those provinces to Malaysia then use the money to buy the bit of Myanmar West and south of Petchaburi province.

              Myanmar gets rich, Bangkokians can drive to the Andaman coast in 3 hours, and the southern insurgency is history

                and the southern insurgency is history
                perhaps a history lesson would help .

                your solution wouldn't solve anything , most likely increase the violence 10 fold .

                  Perhaps a sense of humour would help

                    Imagine how much lost face if this happens and the Malaysians immedietely install proper infrastructure, clean up the garbage and redo the roads and pavements - within a year or less.

                      Yeah as you saw I was on the border a few days ago. Crossing it is like jumping 20 years into Thailand's future.

                        Malaysia has no greater chance of ruling Patani than Thailand .

                          10 decades more like. In relative historical terms, Thailand are just entering 20th century London after the 1800s. Raw sewage, piles of putrid rubbish, vermin and ragamuffin kids still rife, filthy slums and dodgy geezers making a living off the backs of others
