Thai-Cambodian border fenced against illegal migrants

[News Bandit]

SA KAEO, Oct 9 – A 165 metre stretch of the Thai-Cambodian border in this eastern province will be sealed with barbed wire to stop illegal entry from the neighbouring country, an army officer announced today.

Burapha Task Force Ranger commander Capt Apinan Songkramchai said the border from the Thai-Cambodian friendship bridge to Rong Klua market was formerly unfenced as a relaxation for Cambodians to cross the border to work in Thai rice fields on daily basis.

The section of the boundary has been fenced in the wake of escalating illegal entry which is detrimental to Thailand’s security and affects local employment, he said.

Residents of both sides of the border can travel through the permanent checkpoint at Ban Klong Luek in Aranyaprthet district, and three trading checkpoints at Bung Takuan in Ta Phraya district, Ban Nong Prue in Aranyaprathet and Ban Kao Din in Klong Had district—all in Sa Kaeo.

Burapha Task Force deputy commander Col Kukiat Srinaka said the border will be closed unless state agencies otherwise impose measures to prevent the illegal entry of Cambodian labour. (MCOT online news)
