For the most part, members of the security forces on patrol remain the targets. Terrorism A bomb buried under a tree by a canal near Samakkhi School in Kato village, tambon Patae in Yala’s Yaha district was detonated on 12 August 2014 while volunteer rangers were on patrol. The blast killed Rangers Prakasit Rakhpan and Chatchai Lohithan, and injured Ranger Thawee Faipesat.1 2 On 14 August 2014, two further bomb attacks took place in in Pattani province.

INTRODUCTION (1) Project Background The impact of violence in the southernmost provinces of Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat, s is jeopardizing human security and development for people living in the area. In addition to the victims of attacks, local people are indirectly beleaguered by the impact of violence.

  • ANNEX 1: Climate Risk Profile for Thailand and Project Target Areas
    PIMS 3771 THAILAND SCCF Project - Annexes ANNEX 1: Climate Risk Profile for Thailand and Project Target Areas Location &Climate of Thailand Thailand is located between 5°40’ and 20°30’ N latitudes and 97°20’ and 105°45’ E longitudes in South East Asia. The country borders Myanmar to the north and west, Laos to the northeast, Cambodia to the east and Malaysia to the south. Thailand can be divided into four major natural geographic regions: the mountainous north the arid northeast, comprised mainly by the Korat Plateau the fertile central plains, which include the Chao Phraya River Basin, and the southern peninsula. Thailand’s 2,600 km coastline runs mainly along the Gulf of Thailand (1,660km), with a shorter stretch of coast along the Andaman Sea (950km) on the western side of the southern peninsula. The Gulf of Thailand is relatively shallow and has an area of 30,400km², while the Andaman Sea is much larger and deeper. There are altogether 23 provinces (including Bangkok) along the two coasts, with most bordering the Gulf of Thailand, a few along the Andaman Sea, and a few with borders along both coasts. The proposed project focuses on Thailand’s narrow southern peninsula, which is flanked by the Gulf of Thailand to the east, the Andaman Sea to the west and Malaysia to the south. Thailand’s climate is classified as tropical savannah in the ‘mainland’ and tropical monsoon in the southern peninsula, which experiences a slightly different climate because of its geography and its close proximity to the sea. Across the country there are three main seasons; hot, wet and mild.
