Poll If war breaks out with Cambodia what will you do?

[MalcolmB]

what you going to do?

[novacova]

Pull out a lawn chair, grab some popcorn, sit back and watch.

[BritManToo]

If Cambodia conquers Thailand, VISA will be easier, $300 a year, no immigration queues!

 

Why would anyone want to defend Thailand?

As civilians, does it really matter which bunch of rich and corrupt guys run any country.

[Lacessit]

Sit tight, and watch Thai submarines counter-attack.

I will carry on as normal.

Nothing. As will the vast majority of Thais, who recognise it as irrelevant posturing by a political and military class who have no interest in them, and understand that they are merely using it as an excuse to make yet another attempt to impose themselves as an unelected government.

 

Nor for the most part will the largely conscript, immobile and basically untrained army - apart from anything they don't have the transport to get anywhere near the "conflict zone" and wouldn't have a clue what to do  if/when they got there, nor the logistical facilities to maintain them in the field.

 

What are they going to do, mount a counterattack "off the line of march" moving in requisitioned school tour buses, equipped with whatever they can carry in their pockets?

 

"Recce move now, there is a tuk tuk waiting outside!"

 

As for getting aircraft up in 5 minutes...

[FolkGuitar]

Watch and wait for it to finish.

Like Phil Ochs said; 'I ain't marching any more.'

 

'Now the labor leader's screamin' when they close the missile plants
United Fruit screams at the Cuban shore
Call it peace or call it treason
Call it love or call it reason
But I ain't a-marching anymore
No, I ain't a-marching anymore

 

It's always the old to lead us to the wars
Always the young to fall
Now look at all we've won with the saber and the gun
Tell me is it worth it all?'

Nothing.  A war with sticks and scissors.

[atpeace]

It would be contained to the border because both countries for the most part don't have the military might to invade.  Thailand is much more powerful and could bomb cities but assume they would only do this if Cambodia was successful at creating catastrophic issues along the border which I doubt.

[khunJam]

Pick a side and join in on the party.

[SLOWHAND225]

I'll stay, someone has to stay and care for the women.

[blaze master]

Make love to as many bar girls as I could.

Being a foreigner I will get on with my life

I would have to agree... The choices are too limited in this survey. Why flee? It is not like any war with Cambodia would be to take over the country. Also, why volunteer to fight? Most people in this forum are either too old or have fled from other countries that are at war. Then of course your other option. Sit back and watch the men defend the country is the most ridiculous. What men? Do you really think the army here or citizens would be any good at fighting a war? If it came to the average citizen, they would flee any conflict unless supported by many others.We all know Thais do not start a fight unless they can outnumber you. 

[actonion]

Do like Thailand did in ww2  go with the side that's winning

[FlorC]

Volunteer to fight the enemy and defend Thailand

 

Volunteer visa or work permit ?

By the time you get either , the war will be over.

Easy enough to say.  When I first got to Bangkok in 2011, I noticed some bullet holes in some of the stainless pedestrian railings across some pedestrian overpasses.  Turns out they were stray bullets from the kerfuffles on the streets a few years earlier.  When the bullets start flying, nobody's safe.

 

[Felton Jarvis]

I will do what I usually do when war breaks out anywhere.........NOTHING!!!!!

More so

Who is this guy Cambodia that is causing a ruckus with border/visa runs.

 

From the sound of it all obviously an Ozzie or 'Uncle Joe' got away from his minders.

 

All said tongue in cheek
