Report Thai-Cambodian Border Tensions Rise with Travel and Trade Bans
Picture courtesy of Bangkok Post In a move likely to heighten border tensions, the Thai Army has prohibited Cambodian carts and motorcycles from crossing into Thailand through several key checkpoints in the eastern region. The directive, issued by Maj Gen Benchapol Dechatiwong na Ayutthaya of the Burapa Task Force, took effect immediately on Monday morning. This latest restriction bars the entry of pushcarts with two or more wheels, motorbikes, and modified motorcycles that are registered in Cambodia. The ban impacts several crossings, namely Ban Khlong Luek, Nong Ian-Stung Bot, Ban Khao Din, Ban Ta Phraya, and Bang Nong Prue. The decision comes on the heels of a significant trade-related move by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, who implemented a ban on the import of oil and gas from Thailand, coinciding with the day’s developments. Maj Gen Benchapol outlined the rationale behind the order, emphasising the need to enhance safety measures within the border districts and prevent potential illegal activities. While the specific concerns remain unclear, the measure underscores the complex and often strained relations between the two neighbouring nations. Compounding the issue, a separate incident over the weekend has added fuel to the diplomatic fire. Cambodian officials have accused the Thai army of improperly escorting Thai cyclists into the disputed Ta Muen Thom temple ruins, which Phnom Penh insists lie on its territory. Thailand, however, maintains that the ruins are located within its Surin province, specifically in Phanong Dongrak district. The Royal Thai Army reported that Cambodian forces were informed ahead of the organised cycling tour, which was overseen by Thai soldiers. According to Maj Gen Winthai Suvaree, spokesperson for the Thai army, Cambodian soldiers did not raise objections during the visit, which was initiated by Surin's tourism and sports office to bolster local tourism appeal. This series of events comes at a precarious time for Thai-Cambodian relations, historically marred by border disputes and territorial disagreements. Both governments have previously sought to resolve such issues peacefully, yet incidents like these illustrate ongoing friction. As diplomatic dialogues hopefully continue, many observers are watching closely how these developments might impact larger economic and security arrangements in the region.

Report Thailand Tightens Rules for Foreign Drivers: Tests Now Mandatory
No, they failed him because he didn't get enough questions right. It is all done on a computer terminal, there is no human involvement. Has any one here ever been asked for bribe money from the DLT? I've been driving here for nearly 30 years and never been asked, and I don't know anyone who has ever been asked. Just more baseless idiotic bashing. -
