"Thepa district"

A Muslim Tadika schoolteacher in Songkhla’s Sabayoi district has been brought into military custody over alleged involvement in a pickup truck-bomb attack near a police station in the province’s Thepa district on January 8, Colonel Pramote Phrom-in, spokesman for the forward command of the Fourth Region Internal Security Operation Command, said on Tuesday.

Violence continued in the South as men riding in a black pickup opened fire at a checkpoint manned by combined forces in Songkhla’s Thepa district on Saturday night.

CONSTRUCTION of the Thepa coal-fired power plant is set to begin in the second quarter of next year, the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (Egat) said, even though many locals have refused to sell their land despite facing threats.
