STORYLINE:
Thailand on Monday released five Malaysian soldiers who were detained three days earlier after straying into a southern Thai village near the border.
Commander of the 4th Army, which controls southern Thailand, Lieutenant General Pisarn Wattanawongkhiri, said a Malaysian army general took custody of the soldiers after confirming their identities and returned home with them.
Pisarn said the soldiers were released after their commander confirmed their status and apologised for their wandering into our territory with firearms.
He said the Malaysians were detained after they gave suspiciously different reasons for their presence.
The five soldiers, armed with two M-203 light machine guns, were picked up in Thanto district of southern Thailand''s Yala province late Thursday, Thai military officials said.
A Thai army statement said, "In order to maintain good relationship among the members of both countries along the border ... (the Thai army) concluded that it is appropriate to hand over the five Malaysian soldiers."
Malaysia says the five were members of a platoon deployed to tighten border security following a spate of attacks in southern Thailand blamed on Islamic separatists.
Thailand says the militants often cross the porous border to take refuge in Malaysia, a claim Kuala Lumpur has rejected.
One of the soldiers, Abdul Halim, said he was happy about going home.
The release took place as Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra travelled to Malaysia Monday to discuss the recent violence with his counterpart, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

mary lee I think its the other way round you better visit the south to see who's killing who
some border are not being fence, it dense with thick forest...
This video has nothing to do with southern Thailand's insurgencies, just four Malaysian troops claimed that they were indeliberately crossing over Thai border. They are men from 10th. battalion, Royal Malay Regiment based at Majidee Camp, Johore Bahru.
how did they cross the border from johor? if is was from perlis, kedah, and kelantan would make sense.
same goes to thai army if they crossed
@MIDKNIGHT FENERIR but we don't need india. We have Pakistan.

Saya duga nak ke Danok. Tapi tak diduga sesat dan tertangkap.
they only want their land back. read the history of pattani and a malay sultanate. #ThaiMalay
chula "Several hundred years". When was it exactly? Was it before the Austronesian people founded SEA or after?
CHK MKN one day we will get back our land. get ready siam. make sure your military budget increase we malay army will wipe out all thai land because of your tyranny to our brother.u dont treat them like u promised with british.trust me your country will become history.u dont treat our brother in patani very well some of them dont know how to speak malay anymore your government already killed too much our brother and sister.that time will come which is thai will become history if u dont treat them well like your own nation.
CHK MKN if just stupid comment like this i dont want to waste my time with stupid people like u.
chula Of course their land. Their states was under your kingdom influence doesnt mean it was one of your kingdom official territories. If we follow your logic basically greece can claim land that was submitted under Alexander. Or China/Japan can claim whole SEA because SEA used to be under influence of those countries.
CHK MKN lol Malaysia is more high tech than thailand 😂 singapore malay is the second most populate in singapore. The president of singapore also malay. And how about UAE, Saudi, Turkey, Albania, Suriname and many more muslim country? You wanna talk bout demography? History? Many more? Lets talk bro?

You have no experience to fight face to face with TNI. Remember your mother British SAS, BIA [Gurkha], Ausy SARS, ANZAC, etc who protect you to defend a new country concept from confrontation with TNI in 1960s while you do nothing cause lack of skill.
