In a story that could have been pulled from a war film, a delivery rider has gone viral on social media after CCTV footage showed him fearlessly navigating through a bombardment zone to deliver a parcel to a customer’s doorstep.

 

The incident occurred at approximately 10:10 on 24 July in the Thai Samboon village area of Moo 2, Ban Chob Subdistrict, Sangkha District, Surin Province. This region has recently been rattled by cross-border artillery fire amid rising tensions along the Thai-Cambodian border.

 

According to the social media post that accompanied the clip, a total of 17 BM-21 Grad rockets struck areas around a local factory on that day. Explosions can be heard echoing in the background of the CCTV footage, while plumes of smoke billow into the sky. Yet, amid the chaos, the camera captures an astonishing sight, a delivery rider, undeterred by the danger, calmly riding his motorcycle to complete his delivery.

 

 

“Now this is what I call express delivery,” read one of the top comments, echoing the sentiments of thousands of netizens praising the rider’s bravery and dedication.

 

The post quickly gained traction online, with many Thai users referring to the rider as a real-life hero. Some even dubbed him the “warzone postman,” likening his service to that of military couriers during wartime.

 

No injuries were reported from the strikes in this particular area, though tensions in the region remain high following repeated military exchanges between Thai and Cambodian forces.

 

This extraordinary act of courage highlights the everyday risks faced by civilian workers in conflict zones.

555 he knew he had more chance of being hit from a vehicle with "iffy" brakes than by a rocket from Cambodia
