Abstract

The ideological clash between Muslim-Malay is predominant in Thailand, which undoubtedly led to conflicts between the separatist groups and the central government. It is a source of risk to development efforts that might harm the sensitivity of the conflict situation. Hence, this chapter aims to explore the impacts of development efforts in the conflict-affected areas of the Deep South region of Thailand. The data is collected from secondary sources and analyzed through descriptive statistics. Results showed that the development efforts from the central government in the southernmost provinces resulted in significant improvement of basic infrastructure, education, and the healthcare system. Due to a high degree of government intervention, the impact of the NGOs on development is considerably limited. It is suggested that the communities should be strengthened in their capacity to increase their role and share the local political power, reduce the monopolizing of local politicians, and increase the accuracy of the development project to the communities' actual needs.
