On 26 Jan 2026 GMT+7, reporters noted rising tensions originating from Cambodia, where images and videos of soldiers and locals have circulated, claiming preparations for a third round of clashes. This has caused concern among Thai residents fearing that a third confrontation may indeed occur.
Meanwhile, the Suranari forces and the Thai Army spokesperson promptly addressed these rumors, providing factual updates confirming that no exchange of fire or confrontations are currently occurring along the border.
Both Thai residents and Cambodian sources report no evacuation plans have been announced by security agencies or provincial authorities. Locals and farmers in the Chan Am Mai area continue their work and daily routines as usual.
