BANGKOK: We were shocked. We were angry. But we also felt sad. These lines sum up the reaction to the carnage on Wednesday when 108 Muslim militants were killed in Pattani, Yala and Songkhla by the authorities in the deadliest flare-up of violence in modern Thai history. And all this took place in a single day. 

People from all over the world have grown accustomed to thinking of Thailand as the Land of Smiles. They are familiar with Phuket, the Royal Palace, the Floating Market, Khao San Road, Pattaya and Chiang Mai.
