Thai military shuts Thai-Cambodian border allowing only humanitarian crossings.
The Thai military on Monday ordered the closure of permanent and temporary border checkpoints along the Thai-Cambodian frontier, until further notice, with exceptions granted solely for humanitarian purposes.
According to a directive issued by the 1st Army Region, the decision comes amid escalating tensions following reports of Cambodian military incursions into Thai territory.
These include unauthorised patrols, the reinforcement of military outposts, and terrain modifications, as well as symbolic actions by Cambodian civilians in areas under the 2nd Army Region’s jurisdiction. These activities have reportedly jeopardised border security and contributed to rising tensions along the frontier.
In light of these developments, and in its role as the unit responsible for border security in Sa Kaeo province, the 1st Army Region announced the following immediate measures in the interest of national security and the safety of Thai citizens:
All cross-border vehicle movement is suspended.
All pedestrian border crossings by the public, including tourists—both Thai and foreign— are suspended.
G Adventures does have groups on the ground that are due to cross the Thai / Cambodian border.
For now, clients are travelling between Thailand and Cambodia by air.
We will continue to assess the situation and provide updates as necessary.
