A fresh market in Sungai Kolok, Narathiwat province. Under the Golden Triangle development project, the city will be transformed into a trade hub for business with Malaysia. The districts are: Sungai Kolok in Narathiwat province, Betong in Yala and Mae Lan in Pattani. In the three districts where conditions are deemed more promising, the Internal Security Operations Command will apply the Internal Security Act instead. The slight relaxation of security in the three districts is intended to facilitate local economic development initiatives under the government's Golden Triangle development project.
