Khlong Yai: The Khlong Yai District Chief, Trat Province, led administrative forces to inspect the readiness of five schools along the Khlong Yai border district. They found that the bunkers were still ready for use. Each school was ready to evacuate at any time in the event of an incident.
According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Cherdsak Chumnaseaw, the District Chief of Khlong Yai, led the administrative team to inspect the readiness of five schools along the Khlong Yai District border: Ban Hat Lek School, Ban Ta Nuek School, Ban Nong Muang School, Ban Mai Rut School, and Ban Khot Sai School, in case the border situation becomes tense again. The inspection found that the bunkers were still in a ready-to-use condition. Each school was ready to evacuate at any time in the event of a real incident.
The atmosphere of entering and exiting the Chong Sangam border remains strictly controlled. For the permanent Thai-Cambodian border crossing, the Chong Sangam checkpoint, Tambon Phrai Phatthana, Amphoe Phusing, Si Sa Ket Province, will be open only on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 08.00-15.00 hrs. On the Cambodian side, the checkpoint opens at 09.00 hrs. It appears that more than 200 Cambodians from Siem Reap, Kampong Thom, Kampong Cham, and Phnom Penh provinces who were waiting to cross the border had to stay overnight on the Thai side. All of them are patients and families who traveled to receive treatment at Thai hospitals. Only those with proper documents and clear hospital appointment slips will be allowed to enter and exit Thailand.
Security, military, police, administrative, and customs officials have set up integrated checkpoints to strictly inspect vehicles and people traveling in and out of the Chong Sangam permanent border crossing today. The goods that entered Thailand on Cambodian carts were mostly mushrooms, puffballs, and insects, which Thais would wait to receive at the border crossing.
