Tak: Local authorities led by governor Somchai Kitcharoenrungroj visited and extended moral support to about 250 Myanmar villagers taking shelter at an evacuation centre in Ban Wao Lay Nua village in Tak's Phop Phra district on Sunday.

It comes after more than seven days of fierce battles along the border. The governor instructed authorities to look after them in line with humanitarian principles and give special attention to children.
