Malaysians are being advised to reconsider traveling to southern Thailand following a series of 51 violent incidents that occurred last night across Narathiwat, Yala, and Pattani provinces. Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat emphasized the need to heed this warning due to the uncertain security situation and the repeated attacks.

These incidents included bomb blasts, vehicle fires, assaults on communication towers, robberies, and tire burnings, believed to be linked to separatist groups. Despite not discouraging travel, the police chief urged caution, particularly for those planning to enter Hat Yai, after meeting with Ducati Malaysia representatives who had arrived in Kelantan.

He also cautioned Malaysians to be prepared for increased enforcement by Thai authorities, including potential summonses for traffic violations.
