Thailand Bars Citizens From Crossing to Cambodia Casino City
Thailand banned its citizens from going to work in a casino city in Cambodia, the latest curb on border movements as tensions simmer between the two Southeast Asian neighbors.
All Thais who are employed in casinos, gambling dens and other entertainment venues in Poipet are barred from leaving Thailand via checkpoints in Sa Kaeo province from Tuesday morning, according to a statement from the Royal Thai Army, which cited safety reasons.
