27 OCTOBER 2012 - SUNGAI KOLOK, NARATHIWAT, THAILAND: A Muslim couple in a third class passenger compartment on a northbound train out of Sungai Kolok, Thailand. Sungai Kolok has been a center of extremist violence. Several car bombs have been detonated in the city, which is on the Malaysian border and very popular with Malaysian tourists. More than 5,000 people have been killed and over 9,000 hurt in more than 11,000 incidents, or about 3.5 a day, in Thailand's three southernmost provinces and four districts of Songkhla since the insurgent violence erupted in January 2004, according to Deep South Watch, an independent research organization that monitors violence in Thailand's deep south region that borders Malaysia.
