Thailand suffered large-scale property damage and loss of life when the Indian Ocean tsunami hit its western shores in December 2004. Though much of the area has now fully recovered, I think the terrorist saw that as an there chance to establish themselves.

BANGKOK, Thailand: Suspected Islamic rebels bombed and shot at civilians and police officers traveling in an armored train in Muslim-dominated southern Thailand early Sunday, injuring at least 19 people, police said.

The armored railway carriage was making a routine inspection of track near the Sungai Kolok district station in Narathiwat province when the bomb exploded, tearing the track apart and overturning the carriage, said police Lt. Nathiwat Deekaew.

The 10 kilogram (22 pound) device was triggered by a mobile phone at around 6.15 a.m. (2315 GMT), just minutes after the train departed from the station, he added.

I think the terrorist saw that as an there chance to establish themselves.

BBC news
More than 80 people died after a protest turned violent, Seven were killed at the scene and 78 died in army custody from suffocation, after being loaded into army trucks.

In the same area and related to the same peoples, things like this may help explain why the area is in such chaos.
