អាជីវកម្មថៃទាមទារជំនួយ ១០០ ពាន់លានបាត ជុំវិញការជាប់គាំងព្រំដែនកម្ពុជា





 Thai businesses are demanding government aid, warning that the ongoing border closure with Cambodia could cost the economy an estimated 100 billion baht by the end of 2025.


The requested relief package includes financial support such as tax cuts and low-interest soft loans, the establishment of alternative logistics routes, and measures to protect national supply chains.


The border standoff is already causing significant economic damage, blocking an estimated 15 billion baht in monthly import-export trade.


Despite requesting aid, private sector leaders support the government's tough diplomatic stance, which demands Cambodia withdraw heavy weapons and crack down on scammers.




Private sector leaders urge the Anutin government to implement tax cuts and soft loans, warning that the prolonged border closure could cost the economy 100 billion baht.



Thailand's private sector has presented three urgent proposals to the Economic Cabinet, demanding immediate relief measures as the ongoing diplomatic and border closure with Cambodia threatens to cost the economy an estimated 100 billion baht by the end of 2025.


Sources at Government House revealed that Minister of Foreign Affairs Sihasak Phuangketkeow recently met with key business groups, including the Thai-Cambodian Business Council and the Thai Chamber of Commerce, to address the crisis.


Although industry leaders expressed support for the government’s tough stance—insisting that Cambodia meet conditions to withdraw heavy weapons, clear landmines, and crack down on scammers—they warned that the economic damage is escalating.


The closure is currently blocking an estimated 15 billion baht in monthly import-export trade.

The private sector is pushing the government to enact immediate relief across three main areas:




Financial Support: Businesses are requesting tax reductions, lower utility costs, and the introduction of low-interest "Soft Loans" to ensure affected entrepreneurs maintain the necessary liquidity to stay afloat.


Logistics Alternatives: Once the border situation improves, they urge the government to open up port and shipping routes in Trat Province as an essential alternative for goods transport.



Supply Chain Protection: They have requested special measures to allow the emergency import of essential goods via land crossings to prevent critical disruptions to national supply chains.


The Foreign Minister reportedly promised to immediately submit these three aid proposals to Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul for swift consideration.


The fallout from the border tensions is already creating knock-on effects across other sectors:



Labour Shortage: Labour Minister Trinuch Thienthong reported that the construction and agriculture industries are facing a sudden labour shortage after some Cambodian migrant workers returned home.


The ministry is attempting to mitigate this by opening registration for undocumented migrant workers residing in Thailand to enter the formal workforce.


Tourism Safety: Government Spokesperson Siripong Angkasakulkiat issued a warning that the conflict could create safety concerns for foreign tourists.


He urged officials to launch an aggressive public relations campaign to reassure the public that Thai tourist areas remain safe for travel.


Meanwhile, Prime Minister Anutin cautioned that the border situation could complicate sensitive tariff negotiations with the United States.


He stressed the need for careful diplomatic planning, particularly ahead of the ASEAN Summit 2025 scheduled for later this month.

 The 72-year old’s border conflict theatrics and peace prize pandering aim to deflect scrutiny from a regime that can now add child sextortion to its list of malign economic interests. Cambodia’s long-time leader Hun Sen may have entered his supposed retirement back in 2023, but he remains the region’s unrivaled master of grand political theater and cunning sleight of hand. This has rarely been more apparent than in the unfolding of the Cambodia-Thailand border conflict in recent months. Back in June, he took a step that effectively reset the optics of the entire dispute. Cambodia’s opposition, which has hammered Hun Sen over the years for being too close to neighboring foreign powers, was forced to fall in line after he released audio of his call with Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, directly interfering in Thai domestic affairs and putting the nail in the coffin of her floundering premiership. What began as a liability – accusations of softness toward Thailand – was re...

 And What It Means for Washington’s Indo-Pacific Strategy Chinese President Xi Jinping smiles next to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen in Phnom Penh, October 2016.  When Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen claimed a landslide victory in the country’s July 29 elections, most international observers quickly denounced the results as rigged. Given that the election has helped consolidate Hun Sen’s 33-year, increasingly authoritarian hold on power, these accusations are troubling. Even more troubling, however, may be Hun Sen’s recent tilt toward China and the increasing local and regional benefits Beijing is receiving from its relationship with Cambodia. For myriad reasons, Washington has long considered Cambodia a strategic lost cause. Yet the country’s Chinese turn should serve as a warning of what China’s growing economic presence, especially in authoritarian countries, will mean for Southeast Asia and Eurasia more broadly. To respond effectively, the United States and its allies n...

 China’s handling of Myanmar’s border incursions and efforts towards the Cambodia-Thai ceasefire stand in stark contrast to the US approach With US President Donald Trump’s unabashed claim of ending eight wars in eight months hogging the limelight, China’s handling of both intrusions along its border with Myanmar and the Cambodia-Thailand border dispute has gone relatively unnoticed. In stark contrast to America’s dramatic and forceful brokering of peace deals, Beijing has adopted a calibrated and generally reactive response to Myanmar’s border intrusions and supports Asean taking the lead on the Cambodia-Thailand border dispute resolution. The Myanmar military has intruded into China on a number of occasions. In August 2009, an artillery shell landed in Yunnan, killing one Chinese and injuring several others; another in January 2013 caused neither death nor injury. A more serious intrusion occurred in March 2015 when a bomb discharged from a Myanmar aircraft killed five Chinese ...
