#2 Strategypage says the Thais are sending another 1500 paratroopers down South, joining 1000 already there. They make the point that Thailand has been independent throughout its history by being prepared to "play rough"when necessary, and they would rather"burn down the South" than let the Islamists take over. Maybe their patience is coming to an end.
