Official among 6 shot dead in Pattani attacks

Six people including a senior official were killed yesterday in two separate insurgent attacks in Pattani.

Hami Uma, deputy head of a local administrative body in Mayo district, was killed instantly along with driver Doraseh Jehlong after a pickup truck cut in front of their vehicle and four gunmen in the truck bed sprayed them with more than 100 rounds from M16 and AK47 assault rifles.

Stray bullets hit and killed passerby Saifoo Phayain and grazed a 13yearold student.
After the initial attack, the vehicle turned back and one gunman dismounted and shot both occupants in the head, before fleeing with Hami's service pistol, police quoted witnesses as saying.

The gunfire shattered windows at a nearby school and struck the roofs of three homes. More than 100 spent casings and spikes scattered by the gunmen to prevent pursuit were found at the scene, a Tintersection.

The four gunmen, along with the driver and a passenger in the cab, were travelling in a black Mitsubishi Titan pickup without licence plates, police said.

Later in Panareh district, four gunmen on two motorcycles arrived at a seafoodprocessing business owned by married couple Atikorn and Urai Ungrangsee and adult relative Sunee, and opened fire, killing all of them instantly. The attackers travelled on two black Honda Wave motorcycles.

Before leaving, the four planted a bomb near one of the shop's doors. The device was detected visually by a police bomb squad, which defused and disposed of it.

Thai penis whitening trend raises eyebrows

Image copyright LELUXHOSPITAL Image caption Authorities warn the procedure could be quite painful A supposed trend of penis whitening has captivated Thailand in recent days and left it asking if the country's beauty industry is taking things too far. Skin whitening is nothing new in many Asian countries, where darker skin is often associated with outdoor labour, therefore, being poorer. But even so, when a clip of a clinic's latest intriguing procedure was posted online, it quickly went viral. Thailand's health ministry has since issued a warning over the procedure. The BBC Thai service spoke to one patient who had undergone the treatment, who told them: "I wanted to feel more confident in my swimming briefs".
