No Winners in Thailand-Cambodia Border Dispute
- Thailand and Cambodia have escalating border tensions marked by armed clashes and political disputes in mid-2025 along their more than 800-kilometer shared border.
- The recent conflict followed a May 28 border clash and a leaked June 15 phone call between Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen, sparking political turmoil in Thailand.
- Cambodia closed its border and imposed bans on Thai imports and media, while Thailand restricted crossings and affirmed sovereignty claims over disputed sites like Ta Muean Thom temple.
- The International Court of Justice ruled in 1962 and reaffirmed in 2013 that disputed territories belong to Cambodia, but Thailand denies the court's authority and both await further resolutions.
- Officials from both countries resumed informal talks aiming to restore border normalcy, yet unresolved territorial claims and political distrust suggest tensions may persist.
