Moreover, the cabinet plans to revoke martial law in the four districts of Songkla province which is adjacent with three southernmost provinces and to replace it with the ISA.

sawasdee krap noble folks.... and khun sbk....

by "revoke martial law in the four districts of Songkla province", in regard of this statement..... does it affect a tourist in particular Malaysian tourists......

by replacing with ISA internal law, in my thought it's make things become worst..... I fully agree in usage of ISA in 3 deep southernmost provinces..... because there are far chaotic in other region in Thailand.... but it does nothing in Songkhla.... Songkhla is safe, peace and harmony.......

just my opinion....
