A Thai friend who comes from the south says it is in the interest of police and military to have instability in the region as they get paid “danger allowance”. Some of the conflicts are apparently instigated or fueled by such personnel to ensure continuation of this extra pay. 

All civil servants get paid danger money in the three provinces. My girlfriend works for the Ministry of Agriculture in Narathiwat and gets a handsome extra on top of her regular salary. I do believe that for many people it makes being employed there more attractive.

Another wasted life. Thai policy in the Deep South over the last century a lose lose for everyone.

An autonomous status for the region would be in everyone's best interest. I live in one of the provinces, but for me it likely wouldn't make much of a difference. Still, many people desire such self-determination.

Pick-up guns to prove a point is futile, it always comes down to talks around a table.

Something the Thai government isn't eager to do. The powers-that-be would prefer this conflict to simmer on. That's good for the generals.

Yes, of course. The areas that lagged with infections will catch up.

Then why is northern Thailand so unscathed? I think cultural habits pay a big role and in the deep south the vaccination rates are lower, people gather in large groups more, many people don't wear masks and muslims in general are much more likely to touch each other than buddhists are.

I live in the deep south, so I pretty much see and hear what's going on around me.

There should be no surprise about this.

All efforts have been focused on Bangkok plus a few other areas.

Whereas the provinces that have little political 'clout' with the generals, have had very little effort, energy or resources sent to help them.

That is where Thaksin showed his 'smarts'. Look after the little people - there are more of them.

Ignore them at your peril.

If there's anyone that has done a lot of harm to the people in the deep south, it's Thaksin.

Hi. Can anyone provide me with a link to Shopee customer service in English?

All I can find is Thai info.

Well, as I live in Narathiwat, I kind of have first-hand experience of what it's like here. The unfortunate incidents make all the headlines, but live in general is similar to anywhere else.

I am not afraid to go anywhere and neither are most people.

Just my two cents...

I don't understand. What do they mean by reopening a province? Can someone please explain?

Okay. This thread is closed. Mods!

Shopee keeps saying to "Please enter a valid IC", no matter which number or combination of digits I enter.

Its the banks ID number like my Bkk bank is 6233.

It will be on your ATM card. 

Well, it's not. I have an SCB debit card and besides the 3-digit CVC/CVV code and the 16-digit card number, there is nothing else there.

Shopee won't accept my credit card information either.

I'm trying to have a refund processed on Shopee, but when adding a bank account the system asks for my (or the bank's?) IC number.

What is it and where can I find it?

So that’s correct, good guys in, bad guys out. ????

I've known Luke for years. He will be back in Thailand soon as he has not been blacklisted.

I'm sure he's got some business ventures in Patts on his mind.

I'm curious. Who guaranteed that?

I did.

Any idea if a Pfizer booster shot for Sino/AZ combined vaccinated is on the cards?

I live in Malay territory in Thailand (the Deep South) and can vouch that the Malay muslim girls look completely different from the Thai buddhist girls. The Malays speak a very different language as well, not related to Thai in any way.

Both groups contain beautiful and ugly girls though. No difference in that. 

The people in the picture are definitely not Sakai, which are a negrito people, looking similar to Papua or Aboriginal people.

Such a terrible incident. My thoughts and prayers go out to the scattered cargo

Issue has been resolved
