Thai-Cambodian border fenced against illegal migrants

SA KAEO, Oct 9 – A 165 metre stretch of the Thai-Cambodian border in this eastern province will be sealed with barbed wire to stop illegal entry from the neighbouring country, an army officer announced today.

Burapha Task Force Ranger commander Capt Apinan Songkramchai said the border from the Thai-Cambodian friendship bridge to Rong Klua market was formerly unfenced as a relaxation for Cambodians to cross the border to work in Thai rice fields on daily basis.
