Sept 29, 2009 - YARANG, THAILAND: A Muslim woman walks among balloons for sales at a street fair in Yarang, Thailand, Sept. 29. Thailand's three southern most provinces; Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat are often called "restive" and a decades long Muslim insurgency has gained traction recently. Nearly 4,000 people have been killed since 2004. The three southern provinces are under emergency control and there are more than 60,000 Thai military, police and paramilitary militia forces trying to keep the peace battling insurgents who favor car bombs and assassination.
