I live in the heart of the insurgents' area, deep in Narathiwat Province.
If the Thai soldiers dare to come here, they will get a warm welcome. They are too scared for that.
As a teacher I often teach private classes to my female students, aged 13-15. I know where to draw the line though and never display any inappropriate behavior. Even a simple touch is out of the question.
I wish all teachers were like me.😄
Wrong. A lot of people, especially young people, DO care. There will come a day of reckoning, sooner or later, when the pavement of life will be painted red by the blood of the martyrs of the revolution.
My Thai wife hates PT/Thaksin and everything they stand for. Unfortunately, being a civil servant, she also dislikes MF/PP as she is afraid they may cost her her job. She actually misses "Lung Tu" (Prayut), as I imagine many civil servants do.
800 baht would never be an incentive to go vote a certain way. Nor should it be.
Thaksin supporters are mostly Isaan grannies, whom nature will take care of sooner or later.
PT WILL be wiped out in the next election, unless they manage to do something significantly good. Fat chance of that happening though.
Meanwhile, Ethiopia and Somalia make 'notable progress' in talks to settle dispute: https://www.africanews.com/2024/08/14/ethiopia-and-somalia-make-notable-progress-in-talks-to-settle-dispute/
Living in the deep south it always fascinates me how many falsehoods are spread about the region.
Rest assured, I feel perfectly safe and will stay that way insha'Allah.
You are free to keep arguing about the situation though.
Thanks for the quick post!
We had a similar bombing here in Narathiwat in November 2022. That it happened in Bannang Sata is no surprise. The district has always been a hotbed of insurgency.
I pray to Allah that the injured recover quickly insha Allah.
