Mass arrests of Muslims, interrogation, prosecution, detention, courts, jail/capital punishment and/or expulsion, confiscation of anything of value including real estate for the payment to the victims of the crime committed by them, etc. Definitely army involvement in decisive way. Violence begets violence as the world at large is now having to come to terms with As far as the south of Thailand is concerned there can only ever be one permanent peaceful solution That means the area and the majority of the local population need to be returned to where it and they rightfully belong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cover ups won't do either. More bombs mean .....high season is gone. This is what happens when military take over and gaol people . Civil unrest. I fear this is the tip of the iceberg ... And we will hear of much more horror in this junta run nation yet. Oh so you think the red shirts did it and should be rewarded for their killing of people by the junta stepping down ? Funny that their supporters are now thinking they did it while i think they did not I bet you and alive would love it if it was an armed revolt the two of you can shake hands.

Familyaffairs Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Some group is deliberately trying to derail tourism; first Trang 2 days ago, then fake bomb alerts for Patong yesterday, 2 explosions in Hua Hin, and now, as yet unreported in English language media, in Surat Thani (home to Koh Samui and Koh Phangan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
