Popular Post webfact Posted November 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2022 Picture: Thai Rath Border officials at the Ban Khao Din crossing in Wattananakhon district of Sa Kaeo in eastern Thailand sprung into action when a military jeep crossed into Thailand without stopping. Behind the wheel was a Cambodian army colonel with family problems. Picture: Thai Rath He'd crossed around six pm on Saturday and by 9pm he'd been traced to a crossroads in the area and refused to come out of his vehicle. A 12 hour standoff developed overnight as officials scurried to bring his family members over to Thailand in an attempt to defuse the situation. He was caught on video standing about with a gun, reported Thai Rath. Eventually the Thai authorities managed to get close enough to enact a charge and take him down. Picture: Thai Rath He was taken to Wattananakhon Hospital for an evaluation yesterday afternoon. He was named as Colonel Sok Banphor. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-11-07 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post Andycoops Posted November 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2022 If it's not illegal migrants, Burmese war planes using Thai airspace to kill innocent civilians, now it's armed soldiers from a foreign nation just wandering over the border. The army is about as much use defending the nation as a chocolate fireguard. No doubt the engineless submarines will save the day, along with the unarmed F35s... 1 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Swift Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 All kidding aside, at least there was no bloodshed and no one died. In the US the guy would have had an AR15 and been randomly mowing down everyone within range. Yeah, you don't have to remind me of that terrible school tragedy, but in the US it happens about once a week. Just before I left my house in the US to come back here a gang shot up a guy at a house 100 meters from mine, hospitalized in critical condition, don't know if he made it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 The Cambodian army officials and government officials might be far worse than what we have here.
