Fresh Myanmar conflict keeps Thai village on edge
Hkara, 70, said she had spent roughly 30 years crisscrossing the Salween river, which marks the frontier, to flee military attacks on ethnic rebel armies in Myanmar's eastern Karen state. She decided to settle in the Thai village of Mae Sam Laep village two decades ago -- a safer bet than Myanmar, then still under full military rule, which lasted nearly 50 years.
