Conflict in the southern border provinces of Thailand has been ongoing for a long time. Several scholarly works have analyzed the root causes of the conflict, which stem from various sources such as historical background, religion, and ethnicity. The dimensions of the problem are marked by diversity and complexity. In the past, attempts have been made to establish a peace process through peace talks. However, the mediation process has faced challenges such as mistrust between the parties, internal conflicts within each organization, and differing ideologies that seem to run parallel without convergence. The negotiation process has included both open and secret channels of communication with relevant organizations. Nonetheless, the peace talks in this region are not confined to the roles of the Thai government and the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN), a separatist militant group operating in Thailand’s deep south, specifically in the predominantly Malay-Muslim provinces of Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat. The group seeks greater autonomy or independence from the Thai state, often citing historical, cultural, and religious differences, as well as grievances related to governance, identity, and rights. On the contrary, many actors have contributed to weaving and creating spaces for peace, including medical and public health agencies, women’s group networks, and artists. These groups have expressed their needs and expectations, emphasizing that peace and a ceasefire should not remain mere dreams but become achievable realities soon.
