Thai military

The Thai military is the armed forces of the Kingdom of Thailand, responsible for national defense and security. Recent news highlights their involvement in ongoing tensions with Cambodia. Specifically, the military has occupied abandoned scam centers along the border in O’Smach, Cambodia, following armed clashes. These centers, according to Thai officials, were used for illicit activities. Furthermore, the conflict has resulted in damage to ancient Khmer temples situated along the Thailand-Cambodia border, a region heavily militarized and largely inaccessible. While a ceasefire has been agreed upon and negotiations are underway, facilitated by China, the Thai military's presence and actions remain a significant factor in the stability and territorial disputes between the two nations. Their role in border security, counter-crime operations, and the preservation of cultural heritage in conflict zones are currently under scrutiny.
