Bangkok: The Royal Thai Army has confirmed that there were no Cambodian soldiers blocking the entrance to the Emerald Triangle. The army emphasized the importance of relying on government sources for accurate information.
According to Thai News Agency, the Royal Thai Army responded to reports from the Sri Saket News page, which claimed that armed Cambodian soldiers were preventing Thai troops from accessing the Emerald Triangle in the Chong Bok area to conduct road repairs. The situation reportedly led to ongoing negotiations for the second time at 12:45 p.m.
Maj. Gen. Winthai Suvari, the army spokesman, clarified that their inspection revealed no such blockade by Cambodian forces. He urged the public to consider government-issued information as the primary source or consult the army directly for case-specific inquiries. He further clarified that the road in question, used for troop supply, is entirely within Thai territory, a fact acknowledged by Cambodia.
