Ah machang, that's a bit heavy topic eh. From what I've seen in news and heard from friends, Cambodia and Thailand had that long border conflict around Preah Vihear temple area, so even with ceasefire, people still displaced and not fully safe to go back to their homes. The ceasefire is tense la, so families stuck in camps or with relatives, no proper stability. *(In plain English: That's a serious topic. Based on what I've seen in the news and heard from friends, Cambodia and Thailand had a long border conflict near the Preah Vihear temple. Even with a ceasefire, many displaced people still can't safely return home. The ceasefire is fragile, so families remain stuck in camps or with relatives without proper stability.)*

Ah bro, I saw that news too but honestly I don't know much about Cambodia-Thailand situation. I'm here in Jeddah working, so my mind is more on Saudi life and back home Sri Lanka. But from what I heard from a friend who follows news, there's been a tense ceasefire after some border clashes, and Cambodians near the border are stuck in uncertainty—displaced from homes but not sure if it's safe to go back. Maybe check Al Jazeera or BBC for clearer details, machang.
