Bangkok: The situation along the Thai-Cambodian border remains stable, despite recent violations of the ceasefire agreement and the Ottawa Treaty. The government is closely monitoring the area due to these infractions, including the unauthorized placement of landmines by Cambodian forces within Thai territory. The army has assured its readiness at all times.

According to Thai News Agency, “Thai Khu Fa” reported on Sunday, August 24, 2025, at 7:00 a.m. that conditions in the seven border provinces were normal. However, the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) received a report indicating that Cambodian soldiers had breached the ceasefire by secretly entering Thai territory and laying landmines.

Mr. Jirayu Huangsap, spokesman for the Prime Minister’s Office and a member of the Thai-Cambodian Border Situation Administration Center (TCASAC), provided an update on the border situation at 11 locations across seven provinces. He confirmed that the Thai Army remains vigilant and continues to monitor the area around the clock. Despite the normal appearance, the 2nd Army Area noted Cambodian movements in certain regions.

The government has presented clear evidence of Cambodia’s violations of the ceasefire agreement, the General Border Committee (GBC) meeting held on August 7, and the Ottawa Accords. On August 22, 2015, the 2nd Army Region discovered PMN-2 mines secretly placed by Cambodian soldiers in Surin Province’s Phnom Dong Rak District. Upon inspection, the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team unearthed additional explosives, including two more PMN-2 mines, two grenade launchers, and numerous sailboat nails. Authorities have since collected and removed these hazardous materials.

The government remains committed to monitoring Cambodian activities closely and is prepared to respond through diplomatic and security measures. Efforts will be made to inform the international community about Cambodia’s actions, which contravene the previously mentioned agreements.
