I feel sad by what's been happening here in my home province for 8 years, Narathiwat. As a farang I chose to live here voluntarily, so I am aware of the risks. Now I live here with my local wife alhamdulilah.
Inshallah there will be peace. However, if we need to fight, only Allah can grant us the strength to soldier on and bring happiness back to the hearts of the locals and expat like me inshallah.
We believe everything, good or bad, is decided by Allah and we cannot do anything but FIGHT for Him. In our hearts and on the battlefield. May peace be restored to the Patani Sultanate!!
Btw, I invite other farangs to come visit us and see the beauty of the deep south, the three provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat and the good-hearted Melayu people.
You are welcome, Thaivisa members.
