BANGKOK: Local villagers in Sa Kaeo on Tuesday (Oct 14) voiced support for a social activist’s use of powerful sound trucks and open-air movie screenings late at night to pressure Cambodian encroachers to leave two border villages.

Residents of Tambon Non Mak Moon in Sa Kaeo’s Khok Sung district backed activist Kannathat Pongpaibulwet, also known as “Kan the Super Power”, who hired two sound trucks and open-air film crews to broadcast horrifying sound effects from Thai ghost movies and screen documentaries about Cambodian refugees near the border.
