Report Thai and Cambodian Soldiers in Stand-Off After Border Gunfire Exchange
File photo for reference only A tense stand-off unfolded between Thai and Cambodian soldiers in a disputed border area in Ubon Ratchathani province following a brief exchange of gunfire on Wednesday morning. Fortunately, there were no casualties reported in the incident. The confrontation took place near Chong Bok in Nam Yuen district around 5:30 am, involving soldiers from both nations in a contested territory. According to reports, Cambodian soldiers began digging a trench in the disputed zone, an action that escalated tensions. Lt Gen Boonsin Padklang, who oversees the region as the commander of the 2nd Army, stated that Thai soldiers on routine patrol observed the Cambodian soldiers making changes to the landscape and asked them to halt their activities. The situation quickly escalated when the Cambodian forces reportedly opened fire, prompting a brief but intense exchange of shots. Efforts to de-escalate the situation have involved local authorities on both sides engaging in dialogue. Lt Gen Boonsin emphasized the need for soldiers from both nations to return to their original positions and await higher-level discussions to resolve the territorial dispute. Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai pointed out that this was not the first instance of Cambodian soldiers digging in the area. Thai forces observed them securing the newly dug trench, leading to the gunfire exchange prompted by concerns for self-defense and protection of sovereignty. In the aftermath of the clash, communication was established between military officers close to the Cambodian Defence Minister and Thai Deputy Defence Minister Gen Natthapon Nakpanich to reduce tensions. Despite the gunfire ceasing, forces from both sides remain in the area to monitor the situation closely. Maj Gen Winthai Suvaree, spokesperson for the Thai army, explained that the Cambodian soldiers' actions violated prior agreements, leading to misunderstandings that contributed to the brief skirmish. Following about ten minutes of gunfire, local military leaders managed to negotiate a ceasefire via phone, although troops from both countries continue to hold their positions. The incident comes after efforts earlier this month where military officials from both countries discussed troop withdrawals from another disputed site, Prasat Ta Muen Thom temple in Surin province, an indication of ongoing territorial tensions. The current standoff serves as a reminder of the complexities and sensitivity surrounding these border disputes and the importance of diplomatic channels in seeking peaceful resolutions.

Bangkok Banks closing accounts of some non long stay visa holders
Can you be a bit more specific? Were the questions related to you in particular or were they the kind that might be asked of any foreign customer? The reason I ask is that I know several Krungsri customers and nobody has received such an inquiry.
