#4 Abesent sending in troop trains, cutting off service may well be the best thing. Once again, the Muslims will be responsible for increased hardship and that is something people tend to remember. Also, the south is where the greatest concentrations of Muslim populations are. Therefore, this interruption in service will have a negative economic impact on Thailand's Islamic areas.
