Fighting on Cambodian border

[redrover]

We have family in the southern reaches of Prasat as my wife was talking with these folks this morning....seems to be a chaotic exodus by a number of border villages in Kap Choeng when the artillery rounds pounded the area last evening. According to reports everywhere, there are a couple of other hotspots in and around Sangkha and Bauchet. Mass evacuations were called on in Amphoe Phu Sing, Sisaket when rocket fire exchanes began there.

Today there was car with speaker in Buriram city calling people to donate food products to the Thai army soldiers and Thai people from the conflict area who had to leave their homes because of the fear of bombs from the Cambodian side.
A family of my neighbour reports the border villages can actually see today the Cambodian side aiming their targets to their village so they had to leave.
No safe shelters so to speak...

Donations and contributions can be done at:
INFORMATION OF NIGHT MARKET/NIGHT BAZAAR BURIRAM.

The Thai army car will come tomorrow afternoon to collect the donations/foods.

Are you telling us the Thai Army has Millions to spend on hardware but no money for food  , so they send out the begging bowls.

Let the Army and the Government pay for the food for the locals ,some of the stall holders at near the market will be happy with the business

[isanbirder]

Yes, shameful for the Thai army to appeal for food for itself.  For the panicking locals, OK.

It sounds as if there is a lot of panicking near the border but, except in the immediate vicinity of Preah Vihear, there seems to be no evidence of damage being done to houses or other buildings.  If anybody has pictures of such damage, please put them on this thread.

Makes perfectly good sense. Bomb the hell outta the historic area in question. Destroy the temple site to save it. TOUGH LOVE.

Hi Guys,

My missus from Sai Ta Ku told me the army came into the village and told everyone to pack their belongings and be ready to evacuate if necessary. They can hear the fighting as it happens and most of the people are shit scared. My wife would like to leave but her family wants to stay for now so they´ll head to Prakon Chai as soon as it gets too close for comfort.

Let´s hope this is just a storm in a tea cup but I have to admit I´m quite worried!

Cheers,

Mike

Wish the best for you and your family, Mike. Anxious as the situation might be, a better chance that this will all blow over in a few days {tensions prevail}.

Cheers mate. I figured it was just a big pissing contest between the two parties but I´m afraid there´s a little more to it than that!

Will keep you all updated on the situation.
