The Royal Thai Army has responded to Cambodia's claims concerning the border area, affirming that Thailand will not use military force to redefine its borders. The Army wishes to provide the public with accurate information about the situation in the area.

In addition, the Army reiterated the installation of barbed wire fencing along the border, stating that it is a measure to prevent encroachment into Thai territory. The Army affirmed that these actions are carried out to maintain security and protect the area as it should be.
The issue of the border between Thailand and Cambodia remains a matter of public interest. Residents in border areas and those following the news should await official information from the relevant agencies in order to accurately understand the situation.
