A paramilitary ranger was killed and two more were seriously injured when heavily armed southern insurgents launched a surprise attack on their road checkpoint, in Ra-ngae district of Thailand’s southern border province of Narathiwat today (Monday).

 

About 10 insurgents split into two groups and approached the checkpoint under cover of thick forest, behind a paramilitary outpost in Ban Samore in Bor Ngor sub-district. The checkpoint was being manned by six paramilitary rangers and defence volunteers at the time, led by Lance Corporal Aekkachai Mukeb.

 

The insurgents opened fire at the checkpoint with M16 and AK47 assault rifles from two directions.  Rangers in the outpost shot back in support of the besieged men.

Sucks. Gotta be one of the most interesting places to visit in Thailand too. 

True. I love living there, though it's not for everyone. Visiting is definitely recommended, even just to experience the Malay culture.
