Sa Kaeo: The Royal Thai Army has implemented stringent regulations at the Thai-Cambodian border in Sa Kaeo Province, effectively prohibiting Thai citizens from crossing into Cambodia to work in casinos and entertainment venues located in Poipet. This measure has been in effect since 8:00 a.m. today.
According to Thai News Agency, the Royal Thai Army has been managing the operations of border crossings between Thailand and Cambodia since June 7, 2015, to align with the security needs of the region. These efforts are coordinated by the Burapha Force, which oversees Sa Kaeo Province, as well as by the Suranaree Force, which manages areas in Buriram, Surin, Sisaket, and Ubon Ratchathani.
The latest update, effective from 8:00 a.m. today, has seen the Burapha Task Force implement further restrictions. These restrictions apply to all permanent border crossings and designated trade relaxation points in Sa Kaeo Province. The new measures specifically prevent Thai citizens employed at Poipet's gambling dens, casinos, and various entertainment venues from leaving Thailand. The intent is to ensure the safety of both Thai and Cambodian citizens residing in the border regions.
The Royal Thai Army has advised the public to remain informed about the situation by following updates closely. Information is available on the Royal Thai Army's official website and their social media platforms, including Facebook pages 'Royal Thai Army' and 'Royal Thai Army Spokesperson Team'.
