Netizens praised the most beautiful sepak takraw court located in front of a temple, played by brave soldiers defending the nation's sovereignty.
On 2 Jan 2026, activity near the Thai-Cambodian border, where clashes had been ongoing, resulted in casualties on both the Thai and Cambodian military sides.
One of the conflict spots is the "Don Tual Temple" area, located at Ban Phumisrol, Kantharalak District, Sisaket Province, adjacent to the Thai-Cambodian border near Pha Mo I Daeng cliff. Thai soldiers have managed to hold the position despite repeated Cambodian attempts to advance.
However, the Facebook page of Sergeant Amata posted an impressive clip showing Thai soldiers using their free time to build a temporary sepak takraw court in front of the temple and enjoy playing together, relieving stress from the ongoing conflict with Cambodia while defending national sovereignty over a long period.
Netizens expressed admiration for the Thai soldiers who help protect the nation's sovereignty.
- A national sepak takraw player who can also shoot a little.
- The background is just right; Cambodians watching must feel heartbroken.
- After tidying up cleanly, let's have a sepak takraw match.
- Having soldiers around feels very safe and warm. Thank you to all the brave soldiers who protect Thailand’s land to maintain peace. Wishing everyone safety and good luck throughout 2026 and the years ahead. Thank you very much.
