In Sa Kaeo province, Thailand, the thunder of rockets has replaced the rhythm of daily life. CGTN reporter Dusita Saokaew hunkered down in a frontline bunker this week, just kilometers from the Cambodian border, as gunfire and explosions echoed through the region. 🏚️💥
The Bunker Chronicles
Over 100 BM-21 rockets have struck the area in recent days, according to Thai media. Roads once buzzing with motorbikes and market vendors now lie eerily silent, while tightened checkpoints underscore the gravity of the cross-border clashes. "We’re just waiting," one villager told Saokaew, their words punctuated by distant blasts.

Schools and shops remain shuttered as families take shelter. The Thai government has yet to release an official statement on the escalation, leaving residents to rely on local networks for updates. Analysts speculate the fighting could impact regional trade routes if tensions persist into 2026.
