"And Thailand closes it's border with Burma (Myanmar).

This is not what my copy of the Bangkok Post says and it is not what the online version says.  Both versions use the word "seal" not "close".

Little bit of further information from Tales of Asia..

FYIO..

March 9, 2003

The troubles between Thailand and Cambodia took a turn for the worse this past week....however.

Just to clear up a point for any would-be tourists, the borders ARE OPEN to non-Khmers and non-Thais and this squabble presents NO DANGER to any of you.

Please do not place additional hardship on the Cambodian people by staying away from Cambodia due to unfounded fears of personal safety or any reports you might hear from a  (travel agent, guesthouse) that tells you Cambodia is unsafe, on the brink of war, that the border is closed, that there is no transport, etc. It is not the case. Go to the northern bus terminal in Bangkok and go to Cambodia on your own.

It's not difficult.
