Thais Beefing Up Security Along Western Border=20
An informed source in Thailand told S.H.A.N. that the Thai Army is =
moving their
crack units form the eastern border to the west.=20
"The Third Cavalry Regiment, long stationed in Nan Province in the east, =
has
recently been transferred to Chiangmai", said the source.=20
"Meanwhile the Naresuan Force that used to oversee the ex-KMT affairs is =
moving to Tak Province from Chiangmai. All their previous positions =
along the border from Maehongson to Chiangrai are being taken over by =
the Third Cavalry".=20
Other infantry units were also being transferred to the west, raising
speculations that the present maneuvers by the Burmese Army in Monghsat
District of Shan State opposite Chiangmai Province of Thailand might =
somehow be connected to the Thai Army's exercises, and had little to do =
with the campaign
against the Shan States Army led by Yawdserk.=20
Thai units have been more or less staying idle since the end of the Cold =
War,
