Local reviews of anti-junta groups staging fierce fighting over the weekend were reported near Myawaddy city, across the border from Mae Sot, a Thai area.
Myawaddy is the second busiest area cross, according to the regime’s business government, with some US$ 1.1 billion in products passing through over the past 12 months.
After a request was granted on “humanitarian basis,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed in a statement that a trip from Myanmar had left Mae Sot airports on Sunday and had returned the same day.
According to the report, Myanmar’s embassy in Bangkok requested authorization on April 6 to fly three” special” Yangon-Mae Sot flights over the course of three days to travel “passengers and goods.”
A government spokesman declined to provide more information about the trip.
Following the Sunday trip the remaining visits were cancelled, the speech said. It did not give any further information.
Thailand was “ready to take the necessary steps to maintain peace, order, and the safety of the people,” the statement continued. It continued that it was carefully monitoring the situation along the Thai-Myanmar border.
Thai men can be seen prowling along the frontier, some in armored trucks, with tents and haphazard temporary shelters visible in the distance, according to a video produced by local media.
Srettha Thavisin, the prime minister, responded to questions earlier about the trip by saying that it was not about military personnel or hands transportation.
He added that” civil staff” were the only passengers on the plane.
A coup spokeswoman could not be reached for comment.
