According to witness accounts, six suspected insurgents, riding three motorcycles, approached the checkpoint in Tambon Lampaya and the three pillion passengers opened fire at the volunteers manning the checkpoint.

I don't really believe in a God, but in a way I hope there is something that punishes these pathetic religious nutcases for eternity

Two defence volunteers

It's my understanding that when Army ISOC during the Prayut junta government regime pulled a large numbers of its troops out of the southern provinces, it uses "rented" paramilitary and defense "volunteers" to replace regular Thai military manpower. Hence, both have become common insurgent targets.

is Yala safe to visit?

This month the 17th, Yala will have a international table tennis tournament for people over 40, 50 ,60 . I hope it will be safe for those elderly players
