The 39 women in the 44th Army Ranger Regiment are the only Thai women seeing front line active duty against Moslem insurgents in Thailand's deep south provinces of Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala. All of the other women serving in Thai security services are employed as office and clerical workers. The Ranger women are based at the Ranger camp in the Buddhist village of Baan Trokbon in Sai Buri district of Pattani province. The unit was formed in 2006 after Muslims complained about the way Thai soldiers, all men, treated Muslim women at roadblocks and during security sweeps. The women are frequently called upon to back up Thai regular army units when they are expected to encounter a large number of Muslim women. At least two of the women have been killed by Muslim insurgents. The unit has both Muslim and Buddhist members. Many of the women in the unit joined after either their fathers or husbands were killed by insurgents.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

The 39 women in the 44th Army Ranger Regiment are the only Thai women seeing front line active duty against Moslem insurgents in Thailand's deep south provinces of Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala. All of the other women serving in Thai security services are employed as office and clerical workers. The Ranger women are based at the Ranger camp in the Buddhist village of Baan Trokbon in Sai Buri district of Pattani province. The unit was formed in 2006 after Muslims complained about the way Thai soldiers, all men, treated Muslim women at roadblocks and during security sweeps. The women are frequently called upon to back up Thai regular army units when they are expected to encounter a large number of Muslim women. At least two of the women have been killed by Muslim insurgents. The unit has both Muslim and Buddhist members.

The 39 women in the 44th Army Ranger Regiment are the only Thai women seeing front line active duty against Moslem insurgents in Thailand's deep south provinces of Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala. All of the other women serving in Thai security services are employed as office and clerical workers. The Ranger women are based at the Ranger camp in the Buddhist village of Baan Trokbon in Sai Buri district of Pattani province. The unit was formed in 2006 after Muslims complained about the way Thai soldiers, all men, treated Muslim women at roadblocks and during security sweeps. The women are frequently called upon to back up Thai regular army units when they are expected to encounter a large number of Muslim women. At least two of the women have been killed by Muslim insurgents. The unit has both Muslim and Buddhist members. Many of the women in the unit joined after either their fathers or husbands were killed by insurgents.    Photo by Jack Kurtz / ZUMA Press

Everybody in the village is Muslim and they say they have no problems, but the roads around the village leading to the provincial capital of Pattani are too dangerous for them to use once it gets dark. Thailand's three southern most provinces; Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat are often called "restive" and a decades long Muslim insurgency has gained traction recently. Nearly 4,000 people have been killed since 2004. The three southern provinces are under emergency control and there are more than 60,000 Thai military, police and paramilitary militia forces trying to keep the peace battling insurgents who favor car bombs and assassination.

  • 17 JULY 2015 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:     A street food vendor near Ton Son Mosque in Bangkok grills chicken for Muslims celebrating Eid al-Fitr. Eid al-Fitr is also called Feast of Breaking the Fast, the Sugar Feast, Bayram (Bajram), the Sweet Festival or Hari Raya Puasa and the Lesser Eid. It is an important Muslim religious holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. Muslims are not allowed to fast on Eid. The holiday celebrates the conclusion of the 29 or 30 days of dawn-to-sunset fasting Muslims do during the month of Ramadan. Islam is the second largest religion in Thailand. Government sources say about 5% of Thais are Muslim, many in the Muslim community say the number is closer to 10%.          PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
