Khmer accepted, encroached on the Thai side before being expelled.
Khmer admitted! Three houses were built in the "Thai Territory" area of the root home before being dismantled by the sailors at the end of Sep 68, while the Navy hastened to prepare the area for border protection after expelling Khmer soldiers from the border area.
As of Sep 28, 2025, the Navy, by the Chanthaburi and Trat Border Protection Command, cleared a path to demolish three houses on the opposite side of Nong Ri, Chatrak District, Trat Province, which encroached on the Thai border.
The army also placed an accordion barbed wire on the route of Tha Tha Thang-Thom Ada, Muang Trat District, on the opposite border, Thom Ada District, Viet Long District, Bodhisattva Province of Cambodia.
After the incident, a video of the Thai military operation was published on social media, causing a lot of trouble for Cambodia, with Cambodian citizens seeing that they were losing territory to the Thai side, and there was widespread criticism of the Cambodian government.
So that the Cambodian authorities, with the 5th military region, had to issue a statement on October 17, 2025, saying that the route was "running on the borders of Thailand," did not encroach on the borders of Cambodia in any way to address the grievances of the Cambodian people.
The Cambodian government announced on October 17, 2025, that the area where Thai soldiers are operating is the border of the Thai side.
While the Thai military has always insisted that it respects bilateral agreements and has no policy of encroaching on Cambodia's territory, it will maintain its strong Thai territorial integrity by preparing the area for future sovereign protection operations.
