Myanmar - Burma urges Thailand to tighten border security


Burma has asked Thailand to look into a possible link between a motorcycle accident in the border town of Mae Sai, Thailand, and two explosions the border town of Tachileik, Burma.

Burma said it was informed that the crash at about 2 am on March 24 happened after a teenager crashed his speeding motorcycle into an electricity pole in Mae Sai. He is now being treated in a private hospital in Muang district, Thailand.

The accident took place a few hours before two bombs exploded at a golf course adjoining a hotel in Tachilek. The course was hosting a golf tournament held to mark Burma's Armed Forces Day. Four Burmese were injured in the blast and are being treated in a hospital in Chiang Rai, Thailand.

Burma also sought help tightening security at the border after the bombs to prevent people with ill intent entering Burma.

Tachileik can be accessed from the Thai town of Mae Sai, which sits directly south on the other side of the small Mae Sai River.
