Two Singburi farmers were shot dead and 10 others injured in Pattani, where a third man was also slain in a separate incident late Friday.

Police examine the shattered windscreen of a pickup truck that was carrying farmers taking part in a rice-growing project run by the Southern Border Provinces Administrative Centre. Two farmers from Singburi died when attackers opened fire on the truck. (Photo by Abdulloh Banjakat)

The attack on the farmers occurred about 5pm on a rural road near the Baloey Tambon Administration Organisation office in Yaring district, said Pol Col Mana Naknang, chief of Yaring police station.

dickemery absolutely right AGAIN. All those darned red shirts - their bodies just littered the streets, thanks to the incredibly brave, well-planned acts of the military. But there's a problem you duck, dodge and refuse to face. The army in nine years can't subdue an actual threat to the nation. Even when it holds full political power. Even when the streets are quiet. Even when it holds the entire country at gunpoint. Even when it seizes ALL power in a coup, the army still can't end, subdue or even weaken a mortal, national threat to the nation in the South. Neither can the Democrats. But yes, no more troublesome red shirts.

They are quick to say it's militants, did they see them, and did they arrest them? No No No because nobody there to watch and protect, no CCTV either and no police or army patrols. Just a normal drive by shooting that could have been carried out by a pid gunmen, on the orders of some provincial lord. What is Yingluck and Chalerm doing about this, what have they ever done and why do they still have a job in government?

mdssr I bet you that if the people in the South tried to take action to protect themselves the army would turn on them and kill, yes kill that attempt quickly. The army is ever so good at killing protests and malcontents. I pity the South, taking it from both sides.

To CM farang...agree 100% with you...If i had to live there,i sure would carry something to protect myself... It is happening right now in Mexico,people are fed up with the killings and they now start to take the laws into their own hands since the cops and the army cannot succeed ! It should not happen this way but it seems like there were no other ways...

dickemery, you probably are right. But what of the Democrat regime that bought the votes of these people? What of the powerful military junta, able to gun down and literally kill street protests in Bangkok? No disgrace to them, right?

its quite obvious this regime only care for their northern supporters,alot of investment into government building up there,but not education,yet in the deep south,they will continue to do very little as witnessed by all,because as reported ,they are not there supporters,its a national disgrace and the media should play a stronger role and ask pm yingluck some tough questions ?
