The attack occurred at about 50 minutes after midnight when 20 paramilitary rangers were returning from guarding the annual Pattani Red Cross Fair. They were traveling in a pick-up truck and a six-wheel truck, heading to their base in Nongchik district.
The two trucks stopped at the stop sign of the Don Rak intersection linking to the Pattani-Hatyai highway.
Police said the two trucks paused at the stop sign before turning into the highway when insurgents detonated the bomb with a walkie-talkie.
