Thailand and Cambodia Shut Land Crossings and Suspend Fuel Trade Amid Escalating Border Dispute

On June 22, 2025, Cambodia announced it would stop all fuel imports from Thailand amid escalating border clashes in a contested area.
The halt followed a deadly gunfire exchange last month where one Cambodian soldier died, deepening tensions between the two nations.
Thailand closed most border crossings in seven provinces affecting tourists and traders, while Cambodia blocked electricity and internet services from Thailand.
Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra said her government would tighten border controls, block casino tourists, and crack down on Cambodian-run cybercrime scams.
These actions have sparked political unrest in Thailand, including coalition partner defections and calls for Paetongtarn's resignation, leaving her government vulnerable.
