The Battle of Bacho (Thai: การปะทะที่บาเจาะ) was a battle during the South Thailand insurgency between forces of the Royal Thai Army and RKK insurgents, which began when the latter attacked a military base in Bacho District, Narathiwat Province on 13 February 2013. At least 16 RKK insurgents, including a commander, were killed while none of the Thai military defenders of the base were injured.
Battle
At 1:00 am local time on February 13, 2013, RKK insurgents launched an attack on a marine base, Bacho District in Narathiwat Province, and were led by Maroso Chantrawadee. Due to receiving clues about the plans to attack the stronghold in the last few days, Somkiat Pholprayoon had reinforced the base. With the support of the Thai Navy SEALs and the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, the Thai military base was able to be defended while losing no men while the RKK lost 16 deaths.
Aftermath
After the event, Somkiat Pholprayoon expressed regret at the lives lost in the clash.
15 days after the battle on February 28, Thailand agreed to hold peace negotiations with the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN). The two then held the peace negotiations on March 28 in Kuala Lumpur.
