Thai PM Paetongtarn Defends Family Ties with Hun Sen Amid Border Tension
Former Cambodian PM Hun Sen visited his long-time friend Thaksin Shinawatra at the Ban Chan Song La residence in Bangkok’s Bang Phlat district in February 2024. Picture courtesy of Thai PBS World In the thick of growing political tensions, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra declared that her family's close ties to former Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen are not a conflict of interest. She urged the Thai public to steer clear of fake news that could intensify border disputes with Cambodia. The former Cambodian leader visited Thailand in February 2024 to see his long-time friend, Thaksin Shinawatra. Addressing speculation, Paetongtarn emphasised that close familial bonds might actually aid in resolving conflicts rather than inflaming them. “I will not give up my house to a neighbour,” she assured, committing that her government would not compromise Thai territory to Cambodia, regardless of familial relationships. The Prime Minister stressed unity among all Thais, highlighting that divisions could further complicate the crucial border issue at hand. Paetongtarn encouraged collaboration between the government, opposition, and public in facing national challenges. Emphasising a peaceful stance, she stated that it is crucial to avoid any needless conflict or loss of life. Meetings with the Thai military aim to approach border difficulties strategically without resorting to hostilities. Furthermore, Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai is set to assess the situation at Chong Bok and attend a Joint Boundary Committee meeting on June 14. This move is part of ongoing efforts to address and discuss border problems with Cambodian counterparts. The directive underscores Thailand’s commitment to a diplomatic resolution, integrating familial ties into broader strategies for peace and stability. By neutralising potential tensions through diplomatic channels and familial negotiations, Thailand reinforces its stand for peace and cooperation amid challenging regional dynamics.

Issues Entering BKK with LTR-P Visa
Issues Entering BKK with LTR Visa I arrived in Bangkok a few weeks ago for my second visit this year. Since the regular immigration lane wasn’t busy, I used it and expected a smooth entry with a quick passport stamp. I had already completed the electronic TDAC form. However, the immigration officer told me I couldn’t enter Thailand without an E-Visa and proof of insurance. I explained that I held an LTR Visa, which should exempt me from both requirements. As a U.S. passport holder, I also could have entered on a tourist visa if necessary. Instead, she made me wait and eventually called a supervisor, who brought me into a back room. The supervisor also insisted that I needed an E-Visa and proof of insurance—even though I had submitted insurance documentation as part of my LTR Visa application two years ago. She was polite and professional, and after making several phone calls (in Thai, which I didn’t understand), she eventually told me everything was fine. She stamped my passport and escorted me through immigration. I’m hoping this was just a misunderstanding or an isolated error—and not a sign of new or unclear requirements for LTR Visa holders. -
