A Swedish military attaché was among representatives from 23 nations who joined a Thai‑organised visit to conflict‑affected areas in Si Sa Ket province on Friday. The delegation, which also included diplomats and journalists, was invited by the Royal Thai Army to see first-hand the destruction caused during the recent border clashes with Cambodia.
According to the Bangkok Post, the group of 105 participants departed from Don Mueang Air Force Base in Bangkok for Ubon Ratchathani before travelling to sites damaged in the fighting. The itinerary included a petrol station and 7‑Eleven in Ban Phue where a BM‑21 rocket strike killed eight civilians and injured ten, Phum Srol Witthaya School, and Tambon Sam Meng health promotion hospital, which was evacuated after being hit by artillery fire.
The visit aimed to provide transparency to the international community, following weeks of Cambodian accusations that Thailand violated the ceasefire agreement signed on 28 July 2025. Thai authorities have denied these claims and said the procurement of additional Swedish‑built Gripen fighter jets is continuing as planned, despite Cambodian media reports suggesting otherwise. The same is confirmed by the Swedish embassy in Bangkok.
Government spokesperson Jirayu Huangsub said the tour demonstrated Thailand’s openness.
“This initiative shows Thailand’s sincerity. We welcome the international community to assess the situation with their own eyes,” says Jirayu.
Senior Thai officials leading the visit included Lt Gen Anuparp Sirimonthon, deputy army chief of staff, and Russ Jalichandra, vice‑minister for foreign affairs. Ambassadors from Brunei, Japan and Myanmar, along with military attachés from countries including Sweden, Germany, India, Singapore and the United States, took part.
The delegation also met at the 22nd Military Circle in Ubon Ratchathani for a briefing on the clashes and the impact on local communities.
Thailand has in recent days intensified its international communications efforts to counter what officials describe as a Cambodian disinformation campaign about the conflict. While Thailand won the battle, it seems Cambodia won the information war as if it was planned well in advance.

Several very convincing reports explain how Cambodia started for reasons left to speculations to built military roads and military structures enforcing the border to Thailand at several positions expanding into the agreed buffer zone between the two countries already since February this year – long before the final confrontation that triggered the open hostilities on 24 July 2025.
