Crime Gunfire at Border as Officials Clash with Labour Smuggling Gang
Picture courtesy of Amarin. Tensions flared in the early hours of the morning of 21 June, when security forces clashed with a group smuggling Thai workers across the border into Cambodia. A lookout was injured in the gunfire and nearly 20 people were arrested as they attempted to cross the border illegally near Ban Saensuk, a natural crossing point close to the Thai-Cambodian frontier. The incident occurred at approximately 00:30, when military personnel from the Burapha Task Force, working in coordination with local police from Khlong Nam Sai Police Station, intercepted a convoy suspected of trafficking Thai labourers into Poipet, Cambodia. The operation was part of a broader security crackdown launched on 17 June following government orders to halt all illegal movement of Thai nationals seeking work in Cambodian casinos and entertainment venues. Authorities believe that smugglers, reacting to the tightened controls, have increasingly turned to unofficial and dangerous border routes. Security teams had been conducting surveillance in high-risk zones when they detected movement from a group of vehicles, believed to include at least three or four sedans and pickup trucks, dropping off workers near the border. During the interception, one man, later identified as 37-year-old Mr. Krai Jantha, attempted to obstruct officials and create an escape path for the smugglers. Officers opened fire with a rifle, wounding him in the left side of the torso with three bullets lodged internally. Emergency responders from Aranyaprathet Foundation transported him to Aranyaprathet Hospital for urgent medical treatment. Authorities estimate that more than 30 individuals were involved in the illegal crossing attempt. Nearly 20 were detained along with their luggage and personal belongings. The remainder fled into the night under the cover of darkness amid the chaos. Following the incident, village leaders, subdistrict officials, and local defence volunteers arrived to support the operation. All those apprehended were transferred to Khlong Nam Sai Police Station, where legal proceedings are now underway. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Amarin 2025-06-22 -

Transport SRT Closes 112 Illegal Railway Crossings in Nationwide Safety Drive
Picture courtesy of NBT The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has closed 112 unauthorised railway crossings across the country as part of an ongoing campaign to improve rail safety and prevent accidents. Mr. Veerish Amrapal, Governor of the SRT, announced that efforts to eliminate so-called “illegal crossings” , which pose a significant safety risk, are progressing steadily. A total of 793 unauthorised crossings have been identified nationwide across 43 provinces. So far, 112 of these have been closed and 63 have been fully restored to their original track condition. In the 2024 fiscal year, 105 crossings were shut down, with 7 more completed in 2025. The breakdown of the 112 closures is as follows: • Central region: 80 crossings in 8 provinces — Bangkok, Kanchanaburi, Nakhon Pathom, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Prachin Buri, Rayong, Ratchaburi, and Samut Sakhon. • Northern region: 9 crossings in Nakhon Sawan, Phichit, and Sukhothai. • Northeastern region: 8 crossings in Nakhon Ratchasima, Buriram, Lopburi, Si Sa Ket, and Saraburi. • Southern region: 15 crossings in Chumphon, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Phatthalung, and Surat Thani. The remaining 681 unauthorised crossings are currently under review by provincial and district-level screening subcommittees. The SRT has set an ambitious goal of reducing accidents at railway crossings to zero. A key part of this strategy involves raising public awareness about the dangers of using unauthorised routes and encouraging use of only official crossings, which are equipped with standardised barriers and warning systems. “We appeal to all citizens to avoid unauthorised crossings and instead use designated points that are properly monitored and controlled,” Mr. Veerish said. “It’s a matter of safeguarding your own life and property.” The SRT’s campaign comes amid ongoing efforts to modernise and expand the railway infrastructure, where safety remains a top priority.
