Community Sa Kaeo Holds Tabletop Evacuation Exercise to Prepare for Emergency Scenario
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. Authorities in Sa Kaeo province have launched a large-scale Tabletop Exercise (TTX) to rehearse emergency evacuation procedures along the Thai-Cambodian border. The exercise, held annually, aims to ensure preparedness among military and civilian agencies in the event of a crisis requiring the swift relocation of residents. The event, was held 18 June and took place in Pa Rai subdistrict, Aranyaprathet district, where a simulated evacuation was conducted. In the scenario, civilians were moved to a designated reception centre at Sa Kaeo Technical College, with the Sa Kaeo Provincial Administrative Organisation serving as the coordinating body for displaced persons. The exercise was formally opened by Maj. Gen. Benjaphon Dejchaiwong Na Ayutthaya, Commander of the Burapha Task Force, who was joined by senior officials including Mr. Chaownet Yimprasert, Deputy Governor of Sa Kaeo, Col. Suchayan Sritragoon, Deputy Director of the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) in Sa Kaeo, and Col. Chainarong Kasee, Commander of the 12th Infantry Regiment. Representatives from border patrol, local government units, and various civil agencies were also in attendance. The Royal Thai Army’s Operations Centre has directed all border protection forces to coordinate closely with relevant local authorities to revise and align evacuation plans with the geographical realities of the border region. This is to ensure plans are clear, comprehensive and ready to be executed under any abnormal or emergency situation. The purpose of this TTX was to clarify roles and responsibilities, improve inter-agency coordination, and ensure a seamless integration between civil and military responses. The exercise is also designed to safeguard the lives and property of the public while supporting the objectives of Thailand’s internal security and border stability strategies. Observers from various districts within the border province were invited to witness the drill and assess operational readiness. The simulated exercise allowed participating units to rehearse step-by-step procedures and reinforce cooperation among agencies, ensuring a high level of preparedness in the event of real emergencies along the Sa Kaeo border.

Politics Thai Opposition Demands House Dissolution Amid Coup Concerns
Army's Call for Unity Amidst Coup Concerns Army spokesman Major General Winthai Suvaree Thailand's army chief reiterates democracy commitment amid coup chatter. In a climate of political unease, the Thai military has made a call for national solidarity as fears of a possible coup arise. At a press briefing held at the Royal Thai Army headquarters in Bangkok, Army spokesman Major General Winthai Suvaree addressed national security matters, highlighting the spread of diverse opinions and information across media platforms. He conveyed Army Chief General Pana Klaewplodthuk's concerns about Thailand’s political climate and simmering tensions along the Thai-Cambodian border. These issues have stoked anxiety over a military takeover. The situation was inflamed on Thursday when a leaked conversation involving Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and Cambodia's former premier surfaced. In the audio, Ms Paetongtarn referred to a Thai army commander in a less-than-flattering manner, prompting her to issue a public apology. Despite the turmoil, General Pana reassured citizens of the army's dedication to preserving democracy under the leadership of the King and its readiness to safeguard the nation’s sovereignty. General Pana appealed for unity, urging Thais to rally together against destructive forces in the current geopolitical environment. While the army's commitment to defend national integrity remains steadfast, the Defence Ministry also stepped in to placate fears. Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai reiterated that military forces have assured the public they will not instigate a coup. On the ground, Lieutenant General Boonsin Padklang, who commands the 2nd Army Region bordering Cambodia, confirmed routine patrols are continuing without any operational shifts. He also affirmed that political affairs are a matter for the government to address. Amidst the backdrop of these developments, discontent has spilt onto the streets. Thursday morning saw protesters assembling outside Government House, voicing demands for Prime Minister Paetongtarn’s resignation over the controversial leaked communication. As the nation remains on edge, the military’s strong affirmation of its loyalty to the democratic process aims to reassure a concerned public. However, with political tensions still running high, the situation remains closely monitored by both domestic and international observers. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-06-20 -
