Five construction workers were shot dead and one wounded when gunmen opened fire in Pattani's Yarang district as the crew were heading to work site, police said.
Authorities blamed the attack on Malay separatists in the restive region where about 3,000 have been died since January 2004.
A pedestrian from Yala on his way to Pattani said traffic was held up for several hours as soldiers launched a massive man hunt for the gunmen and remove the spikes on the road scattered by the insurgents as they were fleeing.
In a separate incident, a roadside bomb went off, injuring two soldiers conducting foot patrol with his unit in Narathiwat's Joh I Rong district. Investigating officers who arrived at the scene were also lured by a mysterious about 300 meters away near a local train stop. The box was a fake bomb, a popular tactic employed by insurgents to divert authorities' attention and slow down their work.
