Fortunately, nobody was living here.

And that's the case for hundreds of kilometers along this border.

These populations have been moved to somewhere they can be safe.

That means more than 20 kilometers.

That's the range of the rockets that Cambodia has been using.

Meanwhile, from where I am, but pretty much anywhere you stop, you can hear the regular boom of outgoing Thai artillery.

And we know the Thai military has announced yet more airstrikes.

So the war is continuing very much at the same level that it has for the last three days.

And you're not hearing

really much in the way of softened language from either side.

And the Thai military really is running this show.

The government in Bangkok is saying to the military, do what you need to do.

And their view is that they need to hit the Cambodian military very hard to degrade its capabilities.

Their argument would be to reduce the threat that populations along this border face.

But I think also the Thai military has in mind some high points along the ridge that divides the countries, which they've been trying to take and were trying to take in July when they were stopped by President Trump's intervention and that ceasefire.

Obviously, that ceasefire was always fragile, and we've seen just how fragile it is from what's happened in the last few days.

Yeah, and President Trump has been speaking about it, saying he will have to pick up the phone again.

Will he be able to do anything this time?

I'm not sure.

I mean, there's always a lot of leverage the US can apply, but the mood in Thailand is pretty tough.
