AMID a move to open a permanent checkpoint with Cambodia at Trat the ranger regiment based in this border province pointed out that a Cambodian casino has encroached into a Thai watershed area with a protest letter already sent to the neighbouring country, Naewna said this evening (August 5).

 

The boundary problem between the two countries was raised during a visit by Senate Foreign Affairs Committee’s second deputy chairman Gen. Surapong Suwannath and his team to this province to study the turning of the temporary border crossing at Ban Tha Sen, opened only a few days a week, into a permanent one.

 

However senior officers at the 513th Marine Corps Ranger Regiment outpost told Surapong that there is boundary conflict between the two countries at 17 points in Laem Klat subdistrict. The regiment had sent a protest letter and held talks with their Cambodian counterparts about encroaching buildings and some had been partially demolished.

Looks like 1 of the country's back door will be shut. ????????

This has come at an awkward time: the much-needed submarines and jets haven't been delivered yet.

The rangers camouflaged the highback chairs for the committee but the senators were not fooled and found them anyway.

Don't bet on any solution being found any time soon.

The guy at the front is saying .. " based on high tech measurements, 2 inches of that wall is in Thailand .."
