"There is no one left for me." The father did not get back with his wife and two kids, but he continued to park his automobile in front of the convenience shop.

"I have no idea why it had to be me. If someone returned, I could accept it, but in a second, everyone left." The father smiled and wept, as though he didn't think what had happened was true.

Only the father remains in this cosy family of four. His family was a regular family who stopped by a convenience shop to get food before heading home, not a leader or a soldier on the border, or even in a conflict zone.

Who would have imagined that, instead of eating breakfast together as a family every day, he would have to light incense sticks at lunch that day and invite his wife and kids to join him for lunch?

This guy was not even given the opportunity to bid his wife and kids farewell for the final time. He went from coming from a little, unimportant household to becoming a martyr in a war that nobody wanted to happen.

We offer our condolences to the deceased and offer assistance to the one who remains.

I loathe politicians who treat politics as a game for self-interest while neglecting the people's hardships. Before claiming to be a politician, could you please try being a human first?

I forgot: these politicians likely don't care what happens to the Thai people because they identify as "Global Citizens." I wonder if they scoff during the Thai national anthem is played, rejoice when Thai soldiers are shot, or grieve when casinos and scammer dens are raided?

Without Thailand, these "Global Citizens" wouldn't even suffer. They are wealthy enough to move elsewhere if Thailand collapses. It is no surprise they enter politics just to feed their egos and interests. They have no intention of protecting Thai soil or serving Thai people because, in their minds, they were never Thai to begin with.

If you doubt this, look at the fires, floods, and border crises. Has any aid from these "Global Citizens" ever reached the villagers without someone having to beg first? Even when questioned, they deflect with excuses like "we don't want to perpetuate a patronage system" or "a sincere listening session is enough." I'd like to see if they'd still want nothing but "sincere eye contact" if their own homes were bombed and they had nothing to eat.

Oh, I forgot: these politicians are rich. If they face trouble, they can just fly abroad and wait for someone else to solve the crisis before returning beautifully to criticize the work and pose as heroes.

But for those who aren't wealthy yet dream of being "Global Citizens," think carefully. Moving abroad costs a fortune, or you must marry a foreigner: a path that has led to countless scams. Even then, life abroad isn't for everyone. Look at the politician who grew rich from corruption and fled to Dubai for 15 years. In the end, he crawled back to a Thai prison because no place is as comfortable as home.

In times like these, as a Thai, the nation must come first. I send my support to the soldiers, officials, and everyone at the border. May you all stay safe.

ฉันรังเกียจนักการเมืองที่เอาแต่เล่นการเมืองเพื่อผลประโยชน์ของตนโดยไม่สนใจความทุกข์ยากของประชาชน ก่อนจะเป็นนักการเมืองช่วยเป็นมนุษย์ก่อนจะได้มั้ย

ลืมไป… นักการเมืองพวกนี้คงไม่สนอยู่แล้วว่าประชาชนไทยจะเป็นยังไงเพราะพวกเขาเป็น "พลเมืองโลก" ไม่รู้ว่าทุกวันนี้เขาเบ้ปากตอนฟังเพลงชาติไทย ดีใจตอนดูข่าวทหารไทยถูกยิง เสียใจตอนคาสิโนกับฐานที่ตั้งของแก๊งสแกมเมอร์ถูกถล่มด้วยหรือเปล่า? หากไม่มีชาติไทย "พลเมืองโลก" เหล่านี้คงไม่เดือดร้อนเพราะรวยซะอย่างต่อให้สิ้นประเทศไทยเขาก็ย้ายไปเป็นพลเมืองที่อื่นได้ ไม่แปลกที่พวกเขาเหล่านี้จะมาเป็นนักการเมืองก็เพื่อสนองอีโก้กับผลประโยชน์ตัวเอง ไม่เคยคิดปกป้องแผ่นดินไทย และไม่เคยคิดจะทำอะไรให้ประชาชนชาวไทย เพราะพวกเขาคิดว่าตัวเองเป็น "พลเมืองโลก" และไม่เคยคิดว่าตัวเองเป็นคนไทยอยู่แล้ว

ถ้าคิดว่าไม่จริงก็ลองสังเกตดูได้ว่า ไฟไหม้ น้ำท่วม ดินถล่ม ชายแดนมีภัย ฯลฯ เคยมีเงินหรือความช่วยเหลือจาก "พลเมืองโลก" พวกนี้กระเด็นไปถึงชาวบ้านก่อนโดยที่ไม่ต้องมีคนถามหาบ้างมั้ย? หรือขนาดโดนชาวบ้านถามหาก็ยังแถกลับอีกว่า "ไม่อยากสร้างระบอบอุปถัมภ์" หรือ "แค่ไปมองตารับฟังปัญหาอย่างจริงใจก็พอ" อยากรู้ว่าถ้าบ้านตัวเองโดนน้ำท่วมโดนระเบิดพังไม่มีอะไรจะกินจะยังอยากได้แค่ "คนมองตาอย่างจริงใจ" ก็พอมั้ย?

อ้อ…ลืมไป นักการเมืองพวกนี้บ้านรวย ถ้าตัวเองเจอปัญหาแบบนี้ก็บินไปต่างประเทศรอให้คนอื่นแก้ปัญหาจบก่อนค่อยบินกลับมาสวยๆ แล้วด่าคนที่แก้ปัญหาไม่ได้ดังใจสร้างภาพว่าเป็นพระเอกก็พอ

แต่คนที่ไม่รวยแล้วคิดอยากเป็น "พลเมืองโลก" อย่างพวกเขาก็ขอให้คิดดีๆ ย้ายไปอยู่ต่างประเทศต้องใช้เงินมากหรือไม่ก็ต้องหาคนต่างชาติแต่งงานด้วยถึงจะมีสิทธิเป็นพลเมืองประเทศอื่นซึ่งก็มีคนถูกหลอกเพราะการนี้มาแล้วนับไม่ถ้วน และต่อให้ย้ายไปอยู่ประเทศอื่นได้ก็ไม่ใช่ว่าการใช้ชีวิตในต่างประเทศจะเหมาะกับทุกคน ดูอย่างนักการเมืองบางคนที่โกงชาติจนร่ำรวยแล้วหนีไปอยู่ดูไบสิ ย้ายไปได้ 15 ปีในที่สุดก็ต้องซมซานกลับมาติดคุกไทยเพราะไปอยู่ที่ไหนก็ไม่สุขกายสบายใจเท่าที่นี่

ในเวลาแบบนี้ในฐานะคนไทยชาติต้องมาก่อนอย่างอื่น ขอเอาใจช่วยทหาร เจ้าหน้าที่ และผู้ที่อยู่ชายแดน ขอให้ทุกท่านปลอดภัย

We Are Global Citizens

"Borders are just imaginary lines. Nobody fights to the death with their neighbors over borders anymore."

Actually, I sketched this comic back when the clashes along the border first began. But because I was exhausted from studying woodworking (I just learned the difference between capentry and woodworking - what I've study so far is woodworking). I could only work on it bit by bit until it was finally finished just now.

Aside from hypocrites, what I despise most are people who are so blindly optimistic that they refuse to see reality, those who do nothing but still stir the waters, and those who are so selfish they lack any empathy for others. This comic is dedicated to them."

ที่จริงการ์ตูนชิ้นนี้ร่างไว้ตั้งแต่ตอนที่เริ่มมีการปะทะกันแถวชายแดนแล้วแต่เพราะเหนื่อยจากการเรียนงานไม้เลยค่อยๆ ทำได้ทีละนิดหน่อยจนเพิ่งมาเสร็จเอาตอนนี้

สิ่งที่ผู้เขียนเกลียดที่สุดนอกจากคนเสแสร้งแล้ว คือคนที่โลกสวยจนไม่รู้จักมองความเป็นจริง คนที่มือไม่พายเอาเท้าราน้ำ และคนที่เห็นแก่ตัวมากเกินไปจนไม่รู้จักเห็นอกเห็นใจผู้อื่น การ์ตูนชิ้นนี้ขอมอบให้แด่คนเหล่านั้น

" I want to announce to the world that we did not fire first. There were four children among the deceased, including two mothers who embraced their children and chose to die to protect them. Please understand our country," said Kamonrat Phonsetlert, owner of the PTT gas station in Ban Phue, Sisaket, recounted the moment Cambodia shelled the area to a military attaché.

Today, the world watches closely as reports emerge that Cambodian forces have opened fire near the border, escalating tensions in the region. While the full details are still unfolding, early sources suggest a potential military standoff or a response to perceived provocation.

🇰🇭 This isn’t just a local issue — it’s a reminder of how fragile peace can be, and how quickly situations can spiral. Civilians in nearby areas are reportedly taking shelter, unsure of what comes next.

🕊️ War and violence help no one. We stand with innocent people caught in the crossfire and call for diplomatic solutions, not bullets.

➡️ Keep checking reliable news sources for updates. ➡️ Use your platform to raise awareness. ➡️ Never underestimate the power of speaking up for peace.

🇺🇸 Let’s raise awareness and share this with friends in Thailand and around the world regarding the recent tensions between Thailand and Cambodia.

🇹🇭 Understanding the Recent Clashes Between Thailand and Cambodia: What the World Needs to Know

- The Hun Family’s Connection to Global Scams

Prime Minister Hun Manet and his father, former Prime Minister Hun Sen, are believed to be behind an international scam network known as the pig butchering scam — a sophisticated form of online fraud that has tricked victims around the world, causing massive financial losses.

Funds from these scams are laundered through a web of companies under the Huione Group, controlled by the Hun family. It’s estimated that 60% of Cambodia’s GDP comes from illegal activities like these.

⸻

- Thailand’s Crackdown on the Scams and Cambodian Provocations

As Thailand intensified its crackdown on scam networks operating along the border, the Hun family’s financial empire came under pressure. In response, Cambodian forces illegally crossed into Thai territory at Chong Bok, the tri-border area of Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia, on May 28.

This led to a military clash with Thai soldiers, resulting in the death of one Cambodian soldier. Though both sides agreed to a ceasefire and called for bilateral talks, Cambodia did not cooperate meaningfully.

⸻

- Diplomatic Breakdown: Blackmail and Constitutional Crisis

Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra attempted direct diplomacy and personally called Hun Sen to de-escalate the situation. However, Hun Sen secretly recorded the call and used it for political blackmail, severely damaging diplomatic ties.

This resulted in a political fallout in Thailand, with PM Paetongtarn being accused of violating the constitution. She was suspended by the Constitutional Court pending further judgment.

⸻

- Military Response and Escalating Pressure

The Thai military then took full control of the anti-scam crackdown, including closing border checkpoints and dismantling scam operations. This further strained the Hun family’s illegal network.

⸻

- Landmine Incident and Violation of International Law

Over the past few months, Cambodia has repeatedly provoked border incidents. The breaking point came when a Thai soldier was severely injured by a PMN-2 landmine, which violates the Ottawa Treaty.

These mines are not used by the Thai military but are known to be in Cambodia’s arsenal. A second Thai soldier was injured by a similar mine within a week. Evidence shows that these were newly planted mines placed by Cambodian forces.

⸻

- Thailand’s Diplomatic Retaliation

Thailand responded by downgrading diplomatic ties and expelling the Cambodian ambassador.

⸻

- Cambodia’s Use of Heavy Weapons on Civilians

Cambodia responded with violence, firing BM-21 rocket launchers at Thai civilian areas, including homes and a 7-Eleven store — killing and injuring dozens of innocent Thai civilians.

Photos of a 7-Eleven in flames are the direct result of Cambodian rocket attacks.

⸻

- Information Warfare and Bot Attacks

Cambodia is also using scam-linked call center networks and bots to spread disinformation. They’ve falsely claimed that images of Thai towns under attack were actually Cambodian cities hit by Thai forces.

⸻

- Deliberate Manipulation of International Media

Cambodia’s misinformation campaign escalated when official Cambodian sources — including the Cambodian Embassy and military spokespersons — used Reuters wildfire footage, falsely claiming Thai aircraft were using chemical weapons against Cambodian civilians.

In reality, the images show firefighting aircraft dropping fire retardants in Thailand.

⸻

- One-Sided Civilian Casualties

To date, all confirmed civilian casualties are Thai. There have been no reports of Cambodian civilian deaths, because the Thai military has strictly followed international humanitarian law, avoiding attacks on civilian areas.

In contrast, Cambodian forces have intentionally targeted Thai civilians and manipulated global media narratives without remorse.

⸻

🧾 Final Note

This is a brief summary of the ongoing conflict. We urge international observers to verify facts from credible sources and critically examine the manipulated content circulated by Cambodian state channels.

Compare official Cambodian statements with the original sources of the images and videos they use, and you will see the truth for yourself.
