"Without a clear position on the crisis, Thailand is upholding the principle of non-interference.

"Like a good friend, Thailand should warn Myanmar to follow the Asean five-point consensus, otherwise it would be in further trouble," ML Pinitbhand said. Many Myanmar citizens are having problems accessing basic services, and an outbreak there will threaten Thailand.
