Thailand-Cambodia border conflict

Cambodia accuses Thailand of taking over border village

Cambodia accuses Thailand of annexing the village of Chouk Chey on the border between the two countries, writes AFP.

The two countries signed a ceasefire on December 27, in which they promised, among other things, to freeze all troop movements.

– Cambodia will not recognize any change in the border by force, says the country's Information Minister Neth Pheaktra.

According to the Bangkok Post, the Thai military denies the accusations, claiming that it has only taken back areas that rightfully belong to Thailand.

The border conflict – the point

• Fighting between Thailand and Cambodia flared up again in December 2025 after previous ceasefires were broken and both sides accused each other of attacks.
• At least 60 people were killed and over half a million people were forced to flee their homes during the worst weeks of the conflict.
• The Swedish Foreign Ministry expanded its advice against travel to border areas in Thailand, which led to travel companies canceling trips to Koh Chang and Koh Kood, among others.
• On December 27, 2025, Thailand and Cambodia signed a new ceasefire agreement that has held for some time since.
