#1 I have the solution to Thailand's border problem: turn over security for the three conflicted provinces to the Japanese. Not the Japanese Army, or police, but a private security force created just to bring security and stability to these provinces, and paid by the increase in security. The security forces get 250,000 Baht for each province for each day there is no incidence of terror. They lose 1000 baht for each terror incident, and 10,000 baht for each death by the terrorists. They get NOTHING for killing terrorists, but they don't LOSE anything for killing them, either. It won't take six months for the whole thing to come to an end.

The Thais, mostly Buddhists, are just too pacific to do the kind of whupash that's needed to put an end to the nonsense. The Japanese, on the most part, don't have that drawback. The Thais also don't have quite the distaste for Japanese on their soil the rest of Southeast Asia has.
