The residents of two tambon in Songkhla's Saba Yoi district, where nine people were killed by a deadly roadside bomb in Yala province on Tuesday, yesterday dressed in black to mourn the tragedy.
The atmosphere was especially sombre at one house where funerals were held for two men - Khiao Srithaweep and Damrong sae-Lim. Khiao's widow Pradab Srithaweep said another relative - Sakchai Sirichai - was also seriously wounded in the blast.
The villagers were returning after a trip to the jungle hunting for wild boars in Yala's Yaha district when their pickup truck hit a roadside bomb. Eight people were killed instantly and one succumbed later at a hospital.
Pradab said the deaths had forced her to stop tapping rubber in order to take care of Damrong's and Sakchai's young children despite the decrease in family income.
At a nearby house, La-or Yorsomphet said her husband Saner was a family man and spent a lot of time with her and their two teenage daughters.
Chaluay Chanabanyat remembered her late husband Khanueng's last words before he went out: "This is my last hunting tour. From now on, I will only do rubber tapping."
Arun Noonim, a former kamnan who owned and drove the ill-fated pickup, sustained serious injuries.
