The Burapha Task Force, which oversees the Thai-Cambodian border, issued an order today further restricting border crossings via all five checkpoints in Sa Kaeo province, which lead to Poipet town, targeting Thai nationals working in entertainment and gambling establishments in Cambodia.
The new order, which takes effect immediately and remains until further notice, cites safety concerns over Thai migrant workers.
The military has also introduced new travel measures at several checkpoints, including changes to opening and closing times, in response to rising border tensions between the neighbouring countries.
There are five checkpoints in Sa Kaeo, which link to Battambang and Banteay Meanchey provinces in Cambodia.
