On 13th July 2025, at Prasat Ta Moan Thom, Oddar Meanchey, a video surfaced showing what looked like a peaceful moment, but turned out to be a cowardly ambush.
A Thai soldier approached a Cambodian soldier with what appeared to be a friendly gesture: a handshake. But this was no act of diplomacy, it was a setup.
While the Cambodian soldier reached out in trust, a Thai civilian suddenly struck from behind, followed by the Thai soldier landing a punch from the front, all during what was supposed to be a simple greeting.
This wasn’t just an attack, it was a betrayal of basic military and human conduct. And after landing their hits, both the Thai soldier and civilian did what bullies at school do best: they ran.
Once again, Cambodia shows restraint and professionalism at the border, while Thailand chooses tricks over talks like kids.
