STORYLINE:
Thai families that were displaced by the border clashes with Cambodia have returned home, a day after a ceasefire was announced.
Unloading their car of the belongings, Jirayu Jindasri and his family were greeted by their excited dog, happy to see them after several days.
Jindasri evacuated with his family on Friday evening to stay with their relatives about 80 km (50 miles) away.
They returned to the village Tuesday morning with few belongings they grabbed before they fled.
The family unloaded their things and started cleaning the house as soon as they arrived.
Jirayu said he was very worried about his home while he was away, but everything looked like it was in place.
"I still don’t feel comfortable, because they just announced it for the first day. I’m not confident. If it breaks out again, I’ll have to go," he said.
His brother, Kritsada Jindasri, chief of a village in Surin, at around 15 km (9 miles) away from the border, said he and about 60 other community leaders stayed behind to take care of the belongings of around 400 residents who evacuated.
He heard heavy firing and explosions moments before the ceasefire agreement supposedly took place, and everything fell into silence at midnight.
"We still don’t totally believe (that it would stop). We still wait to assess the situation," he said, adding that his village has not been affected by the border clashes.
