At Nong Yai Police Station, a group including Tae Achiva arrived and said that the Cambodian youths who threw the bombs challenged him to a confrontation. "We came to pursue them, and today I wanted to see their faces before the police arrested them. Since the police arrested them first, I came to observe the next steps and how the case will be handled because their behavior is very provocative. They carried knives and bombs, posing significant danger to the community."
