“I was lucky the bullet didn’t hit my family members. Imagine, if my nephew was running around in that area (where the bullet came through), It could have hit him,” said the 36-year-old.
“I’m afraid for my own safety. What if more bullets hit my house? My biggest concern is that if more bullets fly over, I will not have a place to live.”
PROPOSED ASEAN MEETING
Although the situation in Myawaddy seems to have quietened down, Thai security forces are remaining alert, patrolling more spots along the border in case tensions flare up again.
Thailand has proposed that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) convene a meeting to address the latest developments in Myanmar.
“A message (requesting for an ASEAN meeting) has been sent to members two weeks ago. We are waiting for responses,” said foreign minister Parnpree.
“(ASEAN chair) Laos is working very fast on this, but we must wait for answers from the other countries. We will hear from them soon so there could be another ASEAN-level meeting.”
While it is unclear when the meeting will take place, it is clear that Thailand is eager to try and play a bigger role in pushing for more progress in tackling the Myanmar crisis, before it spills over even more across its borders.
