What does it matter what the founder of Islam was like? It is about the people who are living now. Are they good people or not? And, yes, just like with non-muslims, most are good, kind-hearted people. I live in Changwat Narathiwat and have only had good experiences with the locals in all my 8 years of living here.

Masha Allah. You have no idea.

And I love it. Keeps people like you away from here.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the victim. May Allah grant him Jannah.

Most muslims do not drink, so I don't think the driver had consumed alcohol.

Alhamdulilah. Thank God the officer is safe and was able to fight back.

Good catch. Now the lovely lady may continue her career behind Thai bars.

Can this border crossing be used by foreigners?

My thoughts and prayers go out to the victim.

All civil servants get hazard pay on top of their regular salary. That's why even my buddhist gf hopes that the explosions around us in Yala and Narathiwat will continue. I am so used to car bombs now. Just praying to the Almighty Lord that my partner and I won't get caught up in it. To you outsiders: please come holiday here in the Deep South! You will have a blast and get to see a different side of this great country.

Sad to see this happening in the province where I live.

Indeed. You already ask about driving Malaysia and Singapore and you sayed no. In the south of Thailand you are afraid and yes they muslims will cut your mind.

The military will never leave the south. There is too much money involved. Even my wife, a civil servant in Narathiwat wants the unrest to continue and the military to stay. The bombings are a way of life here. All we can do is pray they won't hit us.

Speak for yourself. The bible doesn't teach violence, but it teaches us valuable life lessons we can apply and live by in everyday life. Some people may abuse the texts or cherry pick the most violent verses for their own perverse goals, but most Christians live lovingly and responsibly.

Read the bible or the qur'an. Just try it for once.

Living in Narathiwat as a farang - and doing so voluntarily! not afraid: if the Good Lord decides it's my time, then so be it! - any effort towards improving people's lives is welcome.

I pay for just about anything using the seller's QR code. At 7/11 I use True Money wallet, and for small items like a bottle of water I carry some coins. My foreign cc only for car rental, and my Thai dc for many online items. Money for my gf I transfer using the bank app.

I live in Narathiwat. You should come visit. If you have faith, The Lord Your God will protect you from harm.

Only if you're a bottom, honey. If you're a top you get free visa for sure na.🏳️‍🌈

Alhamdulilah🤲

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.

TPN can't stop writing this nonsense. C'mon, AJ, who are you trying to fool?

These attacks sadden me. Hopefully we can resolve the matter and strive for a peaceful future for all Thai people.

My friend just moved from Australia to the city of Chaophraya Surasak five months ago He would recommend it to anyone. Clean air, western comforts, not too touristy, and good connections to other places in Thailand, most notably Bangkok. Chaophraya Surasak, people, check it out!

Somewhere in the south like Songkhla would be my choice if I were single and about to retire. Quiet, but varied in culture and nature. Good air quality and hot, but similar weather throughout the year. Hat Yai is close by for your shopping needs and if you need a flight elsewhere.
