Thai-Cambodian Border Eases as PM Visits Sa Kaeo

Temporary Relief at Checkpoints

Four Crossings Reopen Partially

Thailand’s military has eased restrictions at four Sa Kaeo border checkpoints, allowing limited crossings for Thais and Cambodians amid an ongoing territorial dispute. The Burapha Task Force announced the changes on Thursday, responding to local outcry over the economic toll of border closures enforced since Monday. The move aims to balance security concerns with the needs of residents and traders reliant on cross-border activity.

Key Checkpoints Affected

Khlong Luek and Khao Din Lead

The relaxed rules apply to Khlong Luek and Khao Din, permanent checkpoints, and Taphraya and Nong Preu, temporary ones. Khlong Luek, opposite Cambodia’s Poipet, is a vital trade hub, with Sa Kaeo’s five crossings handling 330 million baht daily. Thais stranded in Cambodia can return with vehicles at Khlong Luek and Khao Din from 8am to 4pm, while Taphraya and Nong Preu allow crossings from 8am to noon.

Supporting Cambodian Shoppers

Limited Access for Goods

The task force has permitted up to 1,000 Cambodians daily at Khlong Luek and Khao Din to buy goods in Thailand from 8am to 3pm, split into three groups: 300 from 8am to 9:30am, 300 from 10:30am to noon, and 400 from 1pm to 3pm. Taphraya and Nong Preu allow 300 Cambodians with bicycles to shop from 8am to noon, fostering local trade while maintaining strict oversight.

Prime Minister’s Visit

Assessing Economic Impact

Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra visited Aranyaprathet’s Khlong Luek checkpoint on Thursday to evaluate the closure’s impact on local businesses. At a meeting in Aranyaprathet School, she emphasized finding solutions to support affected traders and farmers. Her visit, accompanied by key cabinet members, underscores the government’s commitment to addressing economic challenges while tackling cross-border crime.

Addressing Transnational Crime

Targeting Scam Networks

The border restrictions aim to curb illegal activities, particularly scam centers in Cambodia, though Cambodian officials deny involvement. The Prime Minister linked these measures to long-standing transnational crime issues, with tightened controls intended to disrupt criminal networks. Humanitarian exemptions remain, allowing medical and student crossings, with over 7,000 Cambodians already returned under these provisions.

Local and Regional Dynamics

Calls for Stability Grow

Local residents and small-scale traders have voiced frustration over the closures’ economic toll, prompting the partial reopening. Meanwhile, former Cambodian leader Hun Sen visited troops in Oddar Meanchey, signaling heightened tensions. The task force noted that the new regulations are flexible, subject to change based on security and diplomatic developments, as both nations navigate this complex dispute.
