Siam Rath published pictures from near the Thai-Myanmar border where trouble has flared in recent months.

 

Fighting across the border can mean stray shells crossing into Thai territory.

 

So the army have been in the Tha Song Yang area of Tak in the north west to repair and install bomb shelters for up to 30 people.

I doubt anyone would survive not being hurt or killed from a direct hit . Maybe a lot more earth on top might help but the pipes would more than likely collapse from the direct hit anyway .

With all the fighter jets and helicopters falling out of the sky we could do with a few of these shelters.

Whoever designed those 'bomb shelters' obviously believes shrapnel only falls vertically.

Was this meant to be published on 1 APR?

 

Why are their faces blurred?   To avoid embarrassment?
