A Tavoyan woman, survived the Burmese army attack. She traveled with a group of villagers from forced relocations sites in the east of Tavoy to Thailand to sell cattle.

Burmese troops opened fire on the group of travelers who were having breakfast. Two boys were shot dead and one man was wounded. The soldiers took some of their cattle and belongings.
