The relocation prevented media from taking photos. Police were notified but not local Muslim people who had provided the Rohingya with food and commodity products and raised funds to cover their wellbeing for three months. The source claimed that some Rohingya family members were separated in the move.
The Rohingya were divided and sent to three locations; 44 to the Nakhon Si Thammarat Shelter For Children and Families, 22 to the Songkhla’s office for social development and human security, and 35 to the Surat Thani’s office for social development and human security.
