Poipet: Keep an eye on the 9am Cambodian border checkpoint, as uncertainty remains over whether it will open normally. On the first day of heightened security, Thais crossing to Poipet experienced a line stretching over 2 kilometers.

According to Thai News Agency, at 8:00 a.m., military and customs officers opened the main gate of the Khlong Luek border checkpoint. This action aligns with the schedule set by the Burapha Forces, permitting entry and exit from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Additionally, students received an extension, allowing passage through a small gate from 6:00 a.m.

Media is closely monitoring whether the Poipet border crossing on the Cambodian side will open as usual at 9:00 a.m., following reports from yesterday evening suggesting a potential closure by Cambodian authorities.

In response to security concerns, the Burapha Force implemented strict measures starting at 8:00 a.m. today. These measures target Thais crossing to work at casinos and entertainment venues in Cambodia. Observations at the border checkpoint revealed a line extending from the checkpoint to the Rong Kluea Market, exceeding 2 kilometers.
