Dowsawan Vanthong

Dowsawan Vanthong, 50, is a compassionate volunteer at a temple in Surin, northeastern Thailand, where she assists evacuated people amid rising tensions between Thailand and Cambodia. She expresses concern that even if the ceasefire holds and the disputed border reopens, the relationship between the two nations may remain strained. Dowsawan hopes for understanding and differentiation between ordinary Cambodians and their government, recognizing the potential for widespread animosity due to the conflict.
