Burma Army’s Infantry Battalion 360 is clearing the Burmese side of the Laktaeng checkpoint between Thailand and Burma

4.01.2012 For the first time since 2002, when a month long battle was waged against the Shan State Army (SSA) South, the Burma Army’s Infantry Battalion 360 is clearing the Burmese side of the Laktaeng checkpoint between Wiang Haeng (Thailand) and Monghta (Burma). Villagers are wondering whether the checkpoint will be reopened to herald the thaw between the SSA and the Burma Army. (SHAN)
