proves what?
That they are here in Thailand?
Just because the PM tells the press they are not, doesn't prove denial, telling the press what you know is a sure way to blow any counter measures.
The fact that they arrested him 5 months ago, proves they knew he was here.

MARTIAL LAW
From CNN this morning -things are heating up?
BK - this thread may not belong here in your view. My point is,however, muslim regions in the world are not exactly known for embrasing P4P.
The muslim regions in the south of LOS (which was new to me - and I suspect to quite a few other brothers - my appologies for my ignorance to the more experienced brothers in this matter) - may it threaten the scene and/or western entertainment tourists, Phuket next for that matter?
Yurune - your point is valid but my reason for statring this thread was to focus on the destiny of P4P in a muslim area.
"Thailand declares martial law
From CNN Bangkok Bureau Chief Tom Mintier
Tuesday, January 6, 2004 Posted: 0448 GMT (12:48 PM HKT)
BANGKOK, Thailand (CNN) -- Thailand's government has declared martial law in three southern provinces after the most widespread bout of violence to hit the region since 1993.
At least two policemen were killed and several other people were wounded in at least two explosions in Pattani province on Monday.
Police say one officer died while trying to defuse a bomb while two other bombs were reportedly found before they could go off.
The bombings come after 21 schools were burned and a military armory was raided in a neighboring province.
Four Thai soldiers were killed Sunday in the raid on the army base, where more than 100 weapons were stolen.
The killings and the violence in southern Thailand are the most widespread since 39 schools were set on fire in 1993.
Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister General Chavalit Yongchaiyudth declared martial law in three of the provinces, where the majority of the nation's six million Muslims live.
"We have neglected imposing our legal power of the existing martial law," he said. "From now we have to revive the use of the martial law."
The order concentrates power into the hands of Thailand's regional army commander.
Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra cut short a beach holiday and called an emergency meeting of security officials to discuss the situation.
Violence in the south of Thailand has for years been blamed on a group of separatists who vowed to turn the region into a Muslim state, launching attacks on police and government-operated schools.
This time some observers are blaming a recent government crackdown on illegal weapons.
A two-month weapons amnesty program ended in mid-December with more than 100,000 weapons either turned in to police or abandoned along the road or in rice fields.
Thailand has been awash with an illegal weapons trade following decades of war in neighboring countries like Cambodia.
Thai police and military units are currently searching for those responsible for the fires and the attack on the army weapons depot. "

Phuket is and always has been a majority Muslim island, there ia even a mosque in Patong and a Muslim cemetary.
There is a famous Patong tuk tuk with "Jihad is my Life" painted on the back of it.
Most of the tuk tuk drivers are Muslims.
Somehow they seem to enjoy making money out of the scene.
How much of the real big money in Phuket is Muslim I am unsure, but I doubt they'll piss on their own party, Phuket has no real history of militancy.
The 4 Muslim provinces of the South are Pattani, Yala, Naratiwat and Songkhla (which includes Hat Yai), they've been this way for years and I suspect will remain this way for a long time to come. The current (and by current I mean last few years) shaking of the staus quo may result in more Thai Army presence down there which may cause problems, though your worrying about P4P is unecessary in my view.
Had some of my best sex in Hat Yai.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those four provinces part of Thailand solely because Britain deliberately excluded them when drawing the boundaries of Malaysia? Smart move, if so, to destabilize the neighboring border. And once again puts the lie to the Thai notion of some glorious autonomy from foreign powers.

VC - interesting point, I am incidentally reading a book about the history of Malaysia at the moment, i'll check out if I find anything about the matter. Give your nabour some troublesome provinces and move in to "protect" yourself if the nabour can't keep peace in his house, i.e. extract concessions fro not moving in.

Yes, keeps him busy spending down his treasury to keep the peace. Plus if it ever comes to war, you've got a region full of people more like your own -- natural allies to harrass his supply lines when he's attacking or forward bases for you when you counter-attack.
