Two activist Buddhist monks arrived in Thailand after a long and difficult flight from Cambodia to escape arrest by the authorities.

Bor Bet, 34, and Sim Sovandy, 54, told Radio Free Asia (RFA) that they followed a Khmer guide through the jungle for two nights and two days, before arriving at the border between the two countries.
