Islamists from Indonesia training Muslim Insurgents in Southern Thailand
It is not unexpected that covert support would come from neighbouring Muslim states.
Quoting from an article in Army Technology:
"Militants from Indonesia may have trained southern Thai Muslims to decapitate or use other grisly tactics in their bloody separatist campaign, an Army spokesman said on Monday as another Buddhist man was shot and beheaded."
"You really need to know certain bones of the necks to behead someone and Thais don't really know how," Acra. "You need someone to be trained overseas or foreign trainers to teach them how."
The interrogation of captured insurgents suggested that foreign trainers, suspected to be Indonesian, were present in Thailand giving training through translators, he said."
Now, one wonders if support had been given by neighbouring Islamic states. It would not be unthinkable.

No surprise there really especially with the importation of radical ideology from the neighbouring countries. The patterns are the same all over if the radicals have infiltrated the locals. The foreign radicals will stir up the locals emotionally which is also their fundamental goal to destabilise the area.

The big question is if the Muslim insurgents receive official support? That can be a huge destabilising factor here.
I don't see what benefit Indonesia could gain as a country by a Malaysia - Thailand border conflict.
Despite what many people would think, Indonesia is *not* a Muslim country and it is less strict than Malaysia when it comes to "religious enforcement".
Neither is Malaysia in that sense. However, given the population demographics and the political pressure from the majority, they essentially are.
