April 11, 2026, Deputy Government Spokesperson Lalida Perisvivatana disclosed that the cabinet, in its meeting on April 11, 2026, approved revocation of Narathiwat’s Sungai Kolok district from the area designated as affected by events impacting internal security of the Kingdom, in accordance with the Internal Security Act, B.E. 2551 (2008).

This approval is in accordance with the resolution made by the Emergency Situation Administration Committee after its comprehensive assessment which found that current situation in the district has improved enough to allow certain restriction to be eased. This is also to accommodate people’s way of life.

The cabinet also approved to maintain strict security measures in other areas in 19 districts of Narathiwat, Pattani, Yala, and Songkhla to ensure continuity of comprehensive and efficient monitoring of the situation.

The revocation of Narathiwat’s Sungai Kolok district is the Government’s attempt to balance between maintaining security and rehabilitating local areas, with the implementation of measures only when necessary and in line with actual situation, while avoiding overly impact on people’s way of life.

According to the Deputy Government Spokesperson, the Government commits to continue to closely monitor the situation and is always ready to adjust the measures according to actual situations in the local area in order to maintain security while promoting people’s quality of life.
