The Post seems to have a problem using the the correct description  'religious separatist insurgency' not the Baptists, Hindus or Buddhists is it! It should read ISLAMIC separatist insurgency, or jihad. Why try to sugar coat it?

Selling AK 47 to terrorist's is the worse thing ever, how could a trained soldier feed the enemy. Just imagine if this turned up at the phuket sand box. END of tourism.

I think they’re Malay Insurgents who just happen to be Muslim. 
 

Reminds me of a UK article warning about the rise of “militant buddhism”. The only problem with the article is their examples. They used Thai state soldiers, who happen to be Buddhists but not driven by Buddhist ideology, stationed to defend schools, markers and roads against Malay Insurgents   .

Islamic jihadists who just happen to be Malay!

No, they'd just change the rules again, so 1,000 new Covid cases and 3 insurgency attacks a month became the new acceptable norm. The 'Sandbox' is Thailand flagship for the return of tourists and nothing is going to stop it from being hailed as a successes regardless of what happens, as they'd lose to much 'face' in making a U-turn.
