Fighting in Myanmar is escalating between the military junta and rebel groups in the east.

The violence has been focused near the border town of Myawaddy -- an important trade hub and source of revenue for the cash-strapped military.
Rebels say hundreds of soldiers have surrendered.

Thailand has increased security along its border in the city of Mae Sot, as people in Myanmar try to flee the fighting.
The rebel groups have made significant gains in recent weeks, weakening the military's grip on power.

Al Jazeera’s Tony Cheng has been following this story from the Thai border city of Mae Sot.
