“Relations used to be good -- we were like siblings,” said 56-year-old Sai Boonrod, one of hundreds of Thais sheltering at a temple in the town of Kanthararom after evacuating her border village home.

“But now things may have changed,” she told AFP. “I just want the fighting to end so we can go back to being like siblings again.”
