Cambodian Man Denies Spy Allegations in Chanthaburi

A Cambodian man, Oeun Khoem, was arrested in Thailand’s Chanthaburi province on suspicion of espionage amid Thai-Cambodian border tensions. Authorities found military uniforms and Facebook posts suggesting ties to Cambodia’s army, including claims he was a lieutenant. However, Oeun denied being a spy, saying he works in fruit orchards and bought the uniforms online for social media content. He claimed he never joined the military due to financial constraints. Officials found no evidence he shared sensitive Thai military information, confirming his posts were general and private. Investigations are ongoing.
