Promising signs for the people of Isaan—stability at the border is always welcome. Yesterday I had to head out to customs near the border in Nakhon Phanom. I found a moment of calm watching the water buffalo do what they do best—grazing peacefully, while their owners stood quietly under their umbrellas, keeping an eye on them. That said, we’ve seen diplomatic gestures before that didn’t lead to real change. The reality on the ground tends to get shakier once international courts get involved. Let’s hope this stays at the level of quiet talks—and doesn’t end up like one of those buffaloes, stuck knee-deep and waiting for someone else to move first.
