One good thing I can say is Thailand has threatened to shut down

the Mosques inside their country which I think they should.

This is where all the Islamic brainwashing starts.

Yes that is the answer! Shut down all the mosques! Have you ever heard of the term trying to kill an insect with a shotgun blast? Instead of a few dozen enemies you then have 5% of the Thai population disaffected by doing that. So what will happen then? Maybe we should instead put Muslims in refugee camps like in Palestine or perhaps ship then to Siberia like Stalin did to the Chechens in the 40's. Overreaction simply begets overreaction. End of story.

God !!! this is why I love Thailand. I could never imagine a news report like this having taken place in Canada. Somebody turn this story into a movie ..please. The man has style! No brains but style.

Yes, all those locations have beaches and some of them are quite nice especially Trang province. But Krabi 20 years ago was phenominal! Ao Phra Nong beach was occupied by just a few beach huts with a restaurant under a Karst cliff. Then they built the Rayavadee Hotel and fenced off the entire area except for a small strip by the cliff with a narrow path for walking from Ao Phra Nong to Ao Railay. Also the noise from the hotel generator is terriblly loud. I would say the natural beauty of Krabi province and perhaps Phangnga which I am less familiaa with are world class. However most of the hotel develpment borders on 3rd world!
