As seen in Newspapers or on Tv, some habitancy around the globe think of Southern Thailand to be a pretty hazardous place because of the bombings and fighting that takes place on the southern border of Malaysia and Thailand. There's an ethnic separatist insurgency taking place 10 years, a decade. It has authentically erupted around 2004 and former Prime clergyman of Thailand, Thaksin Shinawatra granted the Army Commander with an extraordinary growth in menagerial powers to combat the unrest.
Some claim that the insurgency is based on historic causes including a 200 year "occupation", the 1960s resettlement of northeastern Thais and to Thai cultural and economic imperialism in Pattani, including allegations of police brutality, criminal activity, disrespect of Islam, the presence of culturally insensitive businesses such as bars, drug trafficking and corruption. However, there are counter-claims that drug trafficking is one source of insurgent money.

Many travelers avoid Thailand because they are not sure where all the violence is taking place. Most know Phuket, Trang, Krabi, Koh Samui and Khao Sok is in the south and are afraid of the violence from what they see on the news or read in newspapers.
The only place the violence happens is on the border, which is hours away from Phuket, Trang, Krabi, Koh Samui and Khao Sok. So if you are planning a trip to Southern Thailand it will be safe to voyage to these tourist destinations.
