    This reminds me of my teenage year. I was once an orphan in a refugee camp in Thailand back in 1980. As a child I survived the killing field and the war at the border camp between Cambodia and Thailand. These people deserve a better life. Thank for showing the world their plight.

      @Peternhim7127 My father was working for the UN as a helicopter pilot and was based close to a refugee camp close to Sakeo or Sa kaeo in Thailand, close to Cambodia. They wanted to fly refugees out from Cambodia into Thailand but the Khmer Rouge did not accept that and threatened to shot down the helicopters. He also saw thai soldiers beating the khmer refugees with their rifels. Almost 40 years later I went to Cambodia and saw the famous killing field outside Phnom Phen and the school that was converted into a torture instituion. But, I got to love the country and the people after one month of traveling around the country! I got back to Bangkok, from where I was going to fly home to Sweden. I read about the catastrophe in Phnom Phen were at least 395 people died during a festival the same day I left Cambodia. i cried. For that and for the latest history of the country. Life is not fair. And for Myanmar, it is even worse.

      @ Ansolutely Chai. I feel like I am born again. There is not a single day that goes by that I don’t think about it and thanks God for not only spared my life but giving me a great opportunity to live in this great nation which I now called home. I do hope these refugees will get the same opportunity as I did.

      @@jonasjohnsson4429I watched a documentary on RUclips and it shows footage from probably the same camp. There were some British doctors working at the camp and they were trying to stop the Thai Army from putting the refugees on buses and driving them back to the border, forcing them at gunpoint to walk through a minefield back into Cambodia.

    Wow, very sad. When all the children sang We are the World, well that was a real tear jerker. Those lyrics are so meaningful and not really where they are heading or have been heading for pretty much all of their young years however they clearly are so so trying to be positive for their future. No child deserves to be raised in poverty like that. The Civil war surely must come to its conclusion at some stage and in the meantime they need all the support they can get. Excellent work that you guys in the video are doing. Great work Chai. 🤩

    Hi bro, if you ask me why I moved to Thailand refugee camp. My answer was, I moved to Thailand refugee camp because my house was burnt by Burmese solider. They also threatening us that if we're still living in our village they would kill you. Even we didn't want to flee to another countries, we had to do that for our safety or survival . Living in Thailand refugee camp was extremely hard because we didn't have any opportunities to go out of the camp. Our lives in the camp quite similar like a bird in the cage. Sometimes it is really hard for me to prove my identity. I'm Karen but the whole world doesn't recognize my nationality. If I said I'm Thai either Burmese I don't have any illegal documentation or birth certificate that can prove my identity. This is the hardest answer for me every time when I come across.Anyway, thanks for helping my Karen people. May 2025 fill you with love, peace, health and prosperity 🤞🤞

It gave me a powerful impression we were going to unite the world in peace and prosperity which we thought of as the New World Order, but it was all just a big ruse of hypocrites for chaos and war is her foreign policy.

Please don't take this personally, but I really couldn't give a rat's if a tourist prefer Bangkok to Phnom Penh.
