What's this "KH", anyway?

Kevin was unfortunately given an extremely common first name, which combined with a ubiquitous surname, means there are plenty of Kevin Smiths running around the world.

So to stand out and avoid confusion on Facebook etc, perhaps he added KH which could mean Khmer Helper if one is being charitable.

Here's a photo from shrinking violet Kevin's Facebook page.

There are many idiots like him. Unless they get paid by the Cambodians, they are so unsubtle..

"Content Creator".

Anyone who can't do anything else is called a content creator today.
Is that a special award for 'nothing else in the head'?
The behavior of these often 'nonsense creators' suggests this.

Best illustration of what these moronic "content creators" produce I've ever seen - nice one 👍

Kevin most definitely a candidate for the Darwin awards 😉🙄😁

What an Absolute ideot.

Must have left his brains at home.

It’s a pity they missed. Couldn’t they at least nick him? It would have made for better content.

That's exactly what Cambodia wants. It's the reason they let this pathetic moron run around in the area and antagonize Thai troops.

Is his pony tail real or a hair extension from a Cambodian wig farm?

Just asking.

This guy is just a useful simp doing Hun Sen's bidding... only a moron would go there to get "content" and has clearly shown his colours. Pity the Thai soldier didn't just pop a cap in his arse and send him squealing back to whence he came like a little piggy.

British content creator Kevin Smith has claimed he was fired at by Thai soldiers near O’ Smach on the Thailand-Cambodia border on 13 May 2026, while Thai authorities say warning shots were discharged after a foreign national approached a restricted area. The incident took place at around 09:00 and has drawn attention to security procedures along the frontier.

According to a Facebook post on Kevin Smith KH, Smith said he was shot at while filming at O’ Smach, which he described as Cambodian territory. The Phnom Penh Post reported that Smith, who has lived in Cambodia for over 10 years, shared a video showing the sound of two gunshots, although he claimed four were fired in total.

He said he was approximately 20 metres from barbed wire fencing and was filming content he said highlighted inconsistencies in the situation. Smith also stated this was his second visit to the site, referencing a previous incident two weeks earlier during which he said gunfire occurred while a diplomatic delegation was present, as well as a separate claim that nine shots were fired on 29 April.

US lobbyist Michael Alfaro, an American lobbyist who was previously presented as a 'White House Correspondent' by the Cambodian press during an earlier visit to Cambodia, commented on the incident and called for restraint, warning influencers against actions that could escalate tensions in sensitive border areas. Writing on Facebook, he said “All parties must use patience and restraint in handling the Cambodia-Thailand border situation

“Currently tensions are already very high. Provocative actions, insults, inappropriate gestures, or any escalation by any side will only increase the risk of a dangerous flare-up.

“The report regarding influencer Kevin Smith KH and the gunfire at the border should serve as a reminder that words and actions have consequences, especially in such sensitive areas.

“Influencers should exercise caution, maturity, and consider diplomatic principles at this time, and also be aware that influencers are not journalists and are not protected in the same way.

“People living along the border have already suffered enough. Peace and stability must come before everything else.”

Thai Army Region 2 said that at around 09:00 on 13 May officers detected a foreign man approaching barbed wire near the O’ Smach road entrance opposite Chong Chom in Surin province. The military stated that two warning shots were fired as a standard security measure to prevent unauthorised entry and reduce the risk of misunderstanding in a sensitive border zone.

Manager Online reported that no injuries have been reported. Thai authorities say the situation was handled under established border security protocols, and monitoring is expected to continue in the O’ Smach area amid ongoing sensitivity along the frontier.

For content creator read dumb lazy a*****e who can’t or will not get a real job. I mean just look at the hairstyle a skullet ( bald at the front with a stupid pony tail at the back ) 🙈

Influencer Kevin Smith - how stupid can a man be?

Aaaaaaah ok - its an influencer.

I'm neutral on the conflict. Neither side are my country and the reasons I've heard on both sides don't sound like they should approach violence, but I'm firmly opposed to one thing.

Ponytails on men!

Idiot. Any foreigner who chooses to meddle in this border conflict - on either side - deserves whatever bullets fly their way. He had no business being in that area.

Put yourself in this position and get shot at is what happens idiot

I had hair I could sit on in the 60s. My father always told me I looked like a horse's ass! Cut it to get a real job. Our toddler cried because she didn't recognise me!

My hair was long in the 70s - never a pony tail though.

My dad who was ex military used to walk up behind me quietly and ask "Am I hurting you son?"

I'd reply, "no Dad, why?" and he'd say "Because I'm standing on your hiar"

Loved him.....

He must be pretty desperate if he risks getting shot—just to create some content

He was on Cambodian territory, why did Thais fire the shots...he wasn't trying to cross the border or contested territory
