Thailand-Myanmar relations

The impending fall of the border town of Myawaddy to ethnic Karen rebels has raised fears of junta air attacks that could drive thousands of civilians into Thailand.

Critics say that the military junta's involvement in the aid program will prevent the assistance from reaching many of those most in need.

Despite a marked shift in the country's approach to its war-torn neighbor, a comprehensive political dialogue is unlikely – at least for now.

The case for proactive, multilateral, pro-peace diplomacy.

Don Pramudwinai reportedly described the secret meeting as a breakthrough. It is more accurate to view it as a setback.

Key ASEAN member states, including current chair Indonesia, will skip the talks, which are intended to "fully re-engage" Myanmar's military government.

The military's move to cut off power to Shwe Kokko, a center of scam operations and online gambling, follows pressure from high-ranking Chinese officials.

Assuming he is able to form government, Pita Limjaroenrat has promised significant changes to the Thai government's approach toward its conflict-torn neighbor.

For their own interests, if nothing else, India, Thailand, and China need to throw their support behind the country's resistance movement.

The “open-ended consultative meeting" on the country's conflict will reportedly take place on December 22.

The Thai government appears increasingly complicit in the Myanmar junta’s deadly reign of terror.
