Cambodian authorities have agreed to allow Thai fruit trucks to enter Koh Kong province via the Had Lek permanent border crossing, following a temporary ban. However, shipments from Chanthaburi remain barred, in what appears to be a retaliatory move linked to import restrictions on Cambodian mangoes.

Politics Cambodia Bans Thai Fruit & Agricultural Imports, Disrupting Trade in Trat
UPDATE Thailand and Cambodia Reach Agreement on Fruit Truck Dispute, Chanthaburi Shipments Still Blocked Picture courtesy of Matichon. Cambodian authorities have agreed to allow Thai fruit trucks to enter Koh Kong province via the Had Lek permanent border crossing, following a temporary ban. However, shipments from Chanthaburi remain barred, in what appears to be a retaliatory move linked to import restrictions on Cambodian mangoes. On the afternoon of 15 June, Thai officials in Khlong Yai District, Trat Province, confirmed a resolution had been reached after negotiations with Cambodian counterparts. The ban, first enforced at midday on 14 June, saw dozens of Thai trucks carrying fruit stranded at the Had Lek border checkpoint, awaiting clearance to cross into Koh Kong. Initially, Cambodian customs officials stated that trucks carrying fruit and agricultural products would not be permitted entry, citing a directive from Phnom Penh. Even Cambodian traders pushing carts to collect fruit at the border were barred. However, by 09:30. on 15 June, following urgent talks, authorities from both sides reached a compromise. Fruit trucks from most parts of Thailand were allowed to enter and cross-border pushcart trade was also reinstated. An exception was made for trucks originating in Chanthaburi Province, which remain prohibited from entering Koh Kong. Cambodian authorities cited Thailand’s own restrictions on importing certain Cambodian fruits, particularly Keo Romeat mangoes, a popular variety cultivated extensively in Cambodia. These fruits are typically exported through the Ban Laem checkpoint in Chanthaburi, where Thai rules have reportedly limited their entry. Officials acknowledged that such disputes occur almost annually at the Ban Laem checkpoint due to regulatory frictions over cross-border agricultural trade. Although enforcement at other checkpoints, such as Had Lek, can be difficult, the issue has broader implications for regional trade. Customs authorities in Khlong Yai and Koh Kong, together with other relevant agencies, eventually brokered the agreement, allowing the resumption of most agricultural exports. Major Thai produce markets, such as Talaad Thai in Pathum Thani, have already been informed and adjusted their logistics accordingly. Mr. Cherdsak Chumnasiew, District Chief of Khlong Yai, stated that negotiations began shortly after the issue emerged on 14 June. “We were in contact with provincial security and border coordination units to de-escalate the situation. Thai fruit exports into Koh Kong are significant, over 30 trucks daily, and increasing due to growing demand from Cambodian and Vietnamese buyers,” he said. He added that the root cause of the dispute was Cambodia’s frustration over Thai import controls, which prompted a temporary switch in their sourcing strategy toward Vietnamese suppliers. Despite the brief trade disruption, Mr. Cherdsak emphasised the strong and cooperative relationship between Trat and Koh Kong. “We are neighbours and we work closely together. Whenever disagreements arise, we seek local dialogue and resolution.” Meanwhile, Cambodian daily workers are still permitted to cross the border for employment as usual.

Accident Police Colonel Flees Scene After Crashing into Vehicle & Stall in Chonburi
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A senior police officer recently transferred to an administrative post in the Region 2 Provincial Police Operation Centre has caused outrage after crashing his white pickup truck into a roadside stall and a parked vehicle before fleeing the scene. The incident occurred on 12 June, at the Hua Phai traffic lights in Phanat Nikhom district, Chonburi. The suspect, reportedly a well-known police colonel, was driving a four-door white pickup, when he lost control and rammed into a food stall and a black pickup parked nearby, causing damage. Eyewitnesses described the vehicle as speeding before crashing into the restaurant’s seating area. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. After the crash, the driver reversed and attempted to flee. However, local residents managed to intercept the vehicle briefly and captured photos of the suspect’s identification cards, including his national ID and a police hospital card. Despite this, he drove off again and has not made contact with any of the affected parties in the two days since the incident. The owner of the damaged black pickup, 41-year-old Mr. Bandasak, recounted the moment of the crash. Returning from Nakhon Nayok with his family, he had just parked at a convenience store near the intersection and exited the vehicle to smoke when he had an odd feeling and returned inside. Within moments, the white pickup ploughed into his vehicle, shoving it forward. Mr. Bandasak attempted to pursue the fleeing vehicle, which stopped briefly. The driver, dressed in khaki trousers and a plain t-shirt, identified himself as a police superintendent in Sa Kaeo province. When asked for official identification, the man first produced an ATM card before eventually revealing his government and police hospital cards. Mr. Bandasak managed to photograph these before urging the man to report the incident at a nearby police booth. However, the suspect allegedly refused, saying, “There’s no point talking, these police are my people,” before driving off again. Mr. Bandasak then reported the incident to Phanat Nikhom Police Station and filed an official complaint. Subsequent verification confirmed that the suspect is indeed a serving officer with the rank of Police Colonel. Records show that on 7 March, Pol. Lt. Gen. Yingyos Thepjamnong, Commissioner of Region 2 Police, had ordered the officer to be transferred to an inactive post due to dereliction of duty. Mr. Bandasak has since called on both Phanat Nikhom police and senior commanders to take immediate and decisive disciplinary action, warning that if the roles were reversed, swift justice would have already been served on an ordinary citizen. The case is drawing increasing attention online, with many questioning police accountability and transparency. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-06-16
