The urban area of Kantharalak District, Sisaket Province, has transformed into a desolate town as a large number of its residents have evacuated for safety. This mass exodus stems from the escalating tensions along the Thai-Cambodian border. Many community members made urgent decisions to abandon their homes. Some families have relocated to stay with relatives in safer areas, while others have sought refuge in temporary evacuation centers set up by authorities. The deserted streets and quiet neighborhoods reflect the profound impact of the border unrest on the daily lives and sense of security for the local population.
