Si Sa Ket
Many villagers evacuated last week because of clashes on the border with Cambodia returned home yesterday after assurances from the local army commander, who was “90-per-cent confident” more strife was unlikely to erupt in the short-term.
Many of the 15,000 residents of Si Sa Ket’s Kantharalak district forced to flee their homes due to the fighting started to pack and return home before Second Army Area commander Lt-General Thawatchai Samutsakorn and Si Sa Ket Governor Somsak Suwannasujarit saw them off.
Thawatchai, who is in charge of security in northeast Thailand, said he was 90-per-cent confident no fighting would erupt for now and that he had followed the situation closely.
