Thailand–Cambodia Border Update | July 23, 2025

According to the official Thai government website, Thailand has decided to downgrade diplomatic ties with Cambodia following a landmine incident that severely injured a Thai soldier in Ubon Ratchathani province.

This is the second such incident involving suspected new landmines. In response, all border checkpoints under the 2nd Army Area have been ordered closed, and tourists are strictly prohibited from entering the area for safety reasons.

Diplomatic actions include the recall of the Thai Ambassador from Cambodia and the expulsion of the Cambodian Ambassador from Thailand. A formal protest letter will also be issued, with further decisions on diplomatic relations pending.
