For the members of Wat Kohwai, in Yarang District of Pattani, it was a even more special because it was the first time in eight years they've been able to celebrate Ok Phansa. The Buddhist community is surrounded by Muslim villages and it's been too dangerous to hold the boisterous celebration because of the Muslim insurgency that is very active in this area. This the year the Thai army sent a special group of soldiers to secure the village and accompany the villagers on their procession to Yala, a city  about 20 miles away.  PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 29 SEPTEMBER 2009 -- YARANG, PATTANI, THAILAND:  A Thai woman Ranger talks to a Muslim woman and her children at a checkpoint in Yarang, Pattani, Thailand. The 39 women in the 44th Army Ranger Regiment are the only Thai women seeing front line active duty against Moslem insurgents in Thailand's deep south provinces of Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala. All of the other women serving in Thai security services are employed as office and clerical workers. The Ranger women are based at the Ranger camp in the Buddhist village of Baan Trokbon in Sai Buri district of Pattani province. The unit was formed in 2006 after Muslims complained about the way Thai soldiers, all men, treated Muslim women at roadblocks and during security sweeps. The women are frequently called upon to back up Thai regular army units when they are expected to encounter a large number of Muslim women. At least two of the women have been killed by Muslim insurgents. The unit has both Muslim and Buddhist members. Many of the women in the unit joined after either their fathers or husbands were killed by insurgents.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 16 JUNE 2015 - CHUAP, NARATHIWAT, THAILAND:  A Thai Army Ranger maintains perimeter security in a Muslim insurgent camp after Rangers recovered three M16 assault rifles in the camp. Thai Rangers, a paramilitary force of the Thai Army, discovered a Muslim insurgent camp in the village of Chuap, in Narathiwat province last week. Most of the insurgents in the camp escaped into the surrounding jungle, but soldiers captured two insurgents and recovered three M16 assault rifles. Two of the three rifles were stolen from the Thai Army in 2004. Investigators are still tracing the source of the third rifle. The Rangers took Thai media into the camp Tuesday. About 6,000 people have been killed in sectarian violence in Thailand's three southern provinces of Narathiwat, Pattani and Yala since a Muslim insurgency started in 2004. Attacks usually spike during religious holidays. Insurgents are fighting for more autonomy from the central government in Bangkok.      PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
