STORYLINE:
Spirits were high at an evacuation center in Bangkok for some Thai evacuees when they heard the news of a ceasefire agreement between Thailand and Cambodia on the fifth day of fighting.
The two countries agreed to an “immediate and unconditional” ceasefire from midnight to resolve deadly border clashes, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said Monday in Kuala Lumpur, where the talks were held.
Thailand’s Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodia’s prime minister Hun Manet hailed the outcome of the meeting and shook hands at the conclusion of the brief press conference.
Putting her arms up in the air, vendor Bualee Chanduang shouted out "That’s so great!" and "We won!"
There are hundreds of evacuation centers around Surin province housing hundreds of thousands of displaced Thais.
Vendor and farmer Usa Dasri said she was relieved and happy at the news of the ceasefire.
"We miss our home. There are many small things I’m worried about, livestock and rice fields. I don’t know what might’ve happened to them. I want to go home, so I’m happy," she said.
She also extended her thoughts to the Thai soldiers on the frontline, hoping for them "to be safe and have a good sleep".
There was also a more logistical reason for retiree Malee Tiangtham’s happiness at the news.
"Living here is not very comfortable. The toilets and bathrooms are not very good.”
