The Barisan Revolusi Nasional Melayu-Patani ( BRN ) insurgent group was behind this week’s grenade attacks in Songkhla, according to a senator, saying it was intended to discredit a policy that promoted economic growth in the troubled southern border region.
The explosions at the site of a big Guanyin statue’s construction site, according to Sen. Chaiyong Maneerungsakul, were part of a BRN plan to scuttle tensions between people of different faiths and peacefully coexist in harmony, as well as thwart the region’s economic growth.
He said on Friday that the Guanyin monument will become a new local tourist monument, drawing both locals and visitors, and boosting local financial activity.
According to Mr. Chaiyong, the government’s policy to boost the southern economy is also being thwarted by the opposition to the controversial Chana professional development project in Songkhla.
Two workers from the northern provinces and a younger woman were hurt in the attacks at the monument webpage. A pickup truck was destroyed in the staff ‘ station as a result of the explosions.
Individuals who dared to work at the page and elsewhere in the southern border provinces were found by police in Thai and Burmese flyers with threats to their lives.
When completed, the 136-metre-high Guanyin memorial, owned by TPI Polene Power Plc, will become the world’s tallest location and serve as a worldview tower. The 65-rai beachside site’s construction began two years ago, and function is scheduled to start in 2026.
No one was hurt when two bombs detonated on a roads near the camp shortly after the attacks. Security personnel who were conducting the initial problems were thought to be the goal of the bombs.
Students and teachers from Yala Rajabhat University’s Demonstration School were immediately decamped and flown back to Yala after the blows started to scream at a local scout camp called Pang Yang Resort.
Ekkachai Kaewrattana, commander of Thepha area, said authorities were examining film from security cameras to detect the attackers and even questioning witnesses.  ,
