Police protecting Cambodia’s border with Thailand said that they stopped a Thai farmer who was ploughing land at border post 43 located in O’Beichoan commune’s Prey Chan village in Banteay Meanchey province’s O’Chrou district.

 

Region 5 deputy chief of border police 911 Sim Thy told The Post on May 17 that his forces, in cooperation with military battalion 503, were patrolling the location when they saw a Thai national ploughing the area between border poles Number 43 and 44 on May 14.

 

“Our patrol stopped the farmer, and he said he had been farming in that area for many years already. Then I reported the case to my superiors,” he said.
