I’ve been sharing news and commentary about the Cambodia–Thailand conflict, and I want to be transparent about how I’m approaching it.

I assume misinformation exists on both sides. I’m sure I’ve shared some things that later turn out to be incomplete or wrong, because none of us has full visibility from a distance. A lot of what circulates comes from people near the front lines, local outlets, and official statements. Even international media often relies on those same networks, with limited independent access.

What I do feel confident about is the human cost. There is real destruction in Cambodia, needless civilian deaths, and massive displacement. There have also been military losses on both sides, even if the numbers and details are still unclear. Thailand has taken losses too, including lives, property damage, and displacement.

The scale is staggering, with reporting suggesting the combined displacement may be approaching one million people. That number should be enough to stop anyone from treating this as a clean story with clean heroes.

I also struggle with the proportionality of what we’re seeing. Cambodia is the smaller country, and the force being used looks excessive against the stated goals. When civilian areas are hit, or when there are reports of homes being searched and property taken, or pillaged, it’s hard not to see a pattern of intimidation rather than restraint. From where I sit, it reads like bullying, and it makes me doubt that peace is the priority.

On the landmine issue, I don’t know what to believe. Cambodia says it’s staged, Thailand says it’s proof of wrongdoing. Both claims carry obvious incentives. Planting new mines in areas Thai forces patrol would be reckless. At the same time, the incident was quickly used to justify a fresh round of fighting, and the response appears disproportionate to the trigger. That’s my opinion, and I’m holding it loosely because the facts are still contested.

It’s also worth saying plainly that Thailand pushes its own narrative, just as Cambodia does. If misinformation is the concern, it can’t be treated as a one-sided problem.

On a personal level, I care about the loss on both sides. I care about civilians, families, and children who end up trapped between decisions made far above them. I want lasting peace, even if that feels increasingly distant right now.

The “scam compounds” narrative is another layer that complicates things. Anyone who’s followed me knows I’ve been outspoken about scam operations and trafficking in Cambodia and the region. The scale is serious, it’s tied to corruption and impunity, and it’s not abstract to me. The more I post about it, the more messages I get from desperate people trying to get out. Some participants are willing offenders, many are victims, and that mix is part of what makes the system so hard to confront.

When Thailand says certain targets are tied to scam operations, alongside claims of military use, it becomes difficult to sort fact from justification. Cambodian officials sometimes deny both the military claim and the scam claim. Thailand’s choice of targets can look strategic, and it can also look like narrative-building. I can’t pretend I know which is true in every case.

Finally, I live in Cambodia and have for 15 years. I’m not neutral, and I won’t pretend to be. I’m biased toward the country I’ve built a life in, and toward the people I know here. At the same time, I try to separate what I believe is factual from what is clearly opinion, and I try to keep my commentary grounded.

I’m also operating in a place where speech has limits. Praise aligned with government messaging is safe. Public criticism can be interpreted as incitement or “causing unrest,” and that reality shapes what people can say openly.

At the end of the day, my position is simple. I want this to stop. I want civilians protected. I want Thailand and Cambodia to step back from escalation and find a path to real stability, not just messaging wins.

Destroying a Hindu deity’s statue under the pretext of a border dispute is unacceptable. Whether placed by Cambodia or not, attacking faith and heritage only exposes intolerance.
Both Thailand and Cambodia are Buddhist nations, yet history records repeated persecution of Hindu temples and attempts to erase them. Violence against sacred symbols cannot be whitewashed with slogans. No religion proves its “peace” by destroying another’s faith.

Not only is the Thai Air Force dropping bombs in Battambang today, strikes are also hitting O’Chrov District, injuring this young girl.

This follows remarks by Anutin Charnvirakul, who said the aim of Thailand’s military action was “to disable Cambodia’s military capability for a long time.”

Placed alongside airstrikes deep inside Cambodia and civilian injuries, that statement is not abstract. It describes intent, and it matches what is now happening on the ground.

Cambodia has condemned the Thai army for demolishing a Hindu Vishnu statue in a disputed border area after more than two weeks of fighting between Cambodia and Thailand.

According to Cambodian officials in Preah Vihear, the statue was built in 2014 and stood several hundred meters inside Cambodian territory in the An Ses area. It was destroyed on December 22 using a backhoe loader. Video of the demolition circulated widely on Thai social media and was independently verified, with no signs of manipulation.

Cambodia says the statue was a religious site worshipped by Buddhist and Hindu followers and has accused Thai forces of damaging multiple cultural sites along the border during the clashes. Thailand has not commented on the incident and continues to say its operations only target military objectives.

By that logic, this Hindu statue was definitely a military target.

[Jacob in Cambodia 🇺🇸 🇰🇭 @jacobincambodia]

Thai aggression against Cambodia continues for an 8th consecutive day as of December 14, according to Cambodia’s Ministry of Defense.

Cambodia is clearly outmatched militarily. The scale and depth of the strikes suggest this goes beyond claims of merely “protecting territory.” Thai military strikes have reached 60km inland. What, exactly, is that supposed to be?

The Thai Military is Challenging the United States, ASEAN and the World’s Efforts at Peace

This is a tragic situation that continues to intensify and expand on the primary basis that Thailand is seeking to bully Cambodia into accepting Thailand’s illegitimate claims over Cambodian territory—claims that are contrary to international views on the matter including relevant International Court of Justice rulings.

It is positive news that the US President Trump intervened and purportedly convinced Thailand to cease hostilities; however, it is also notable that after the US President’s call with Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, Charnvirakul told a news conference that a ceasefire would only come about if "Cambodia will cease fire, withdraw its troops, remove all landmines it has planted".

It seems striking that while Thai troops were maneuvering forces within sovereign Cambodian territory, and attacking Cambodian villages and cultural sites, Thai forces seemed to miraculously avoid any of the landmines that it claims are the source of Thai soldier casualties. It is also striking that Thailand continues to raise conditions for peace while its military forces maneuver in, fire upon, and attack Cambodia.

The bottom line is this: The Thai military is continuing to test the willingness and resolve of the United States, ASEAN and the world’s efforts at peace. An army that imposes conditions for peace while attacking and invading another party is not legitimately interested in peace. Thailand’s aggressive actions against Cambodia are inconsistent with a mature state that respects international law. This unjustified aggression against a fellow ASEAN member must be stopped.
