Stay at home in 3 southern provinces

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Insurgents suspected of landmine attack targeting rubber farmers in Deep South

Explosions from landmines killed a soldier and injured six police officers and four civilians in Thailand’s troubled Deep South on Monday, including a farmer who lost both her legs in the twin attack at a rubber plantation, authorities said.

......
The attack on Monday was the third deadly incident that Thai authorities blamed on rebels within the less than two weeks since Thai government negotiators and representatives of Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN), the main rebel group in the Deep South, held their latest round of in-person peace talks brokered by Malaysia near Kuala Lumpur.

During the latest round, the Thai side asked the BRN to agree to a pause in violence that would cover large portions of the Buddhist Lent, officials told BenarNews at the time. The start of the 108-day truce would have fallen on Monday.

After the attack, a Buddhist rights activist called on security forces to safeguard Buddhist residents who form a religious minority in the Deep South.
