Thailand eases Thai-Cambodian border restrictions in Sa Kaeo for 7 days

The Thai-Cambodian Border Situation Management Taskforce announced on Sunday (June 29, 2025) a temporary relaxation of cross-border transport restrictions for a period of seven days, following an order from the First Army Region and an urgent directive from the Burapha Task Force.

The temporary measure, which takes immediate effect, is aimed at alleviating the impact of heightened border controls on local communities and businesses. It will facilitate the clearance of goods transportation vehicles stranded on both sides of the border, particularly those already registered in the customs system before June 25, 2025.

Key implementation guidelines include:

Nong Ian–Stung Bot permanent border crossing, Sa Kaeo province:

• A maximum of 100 vehicles per day (50 inbound / 50 outbound)
• Operating hours: 8am–4pm

Khao Din permanent border crossing, Sa Kaeo province:

• A maximum of 100 vehicles per day (50 inbound / 50 outbound)
• Operating hours: 8am–4pm

Nong Prue temporary trade crossing, Sa Kaeo province:

• A maximum of 40 vehicles per day (20 inbound / 20 outbound)
• Operating hours: 8am–12am

Under these conditions, outbound vehicles will be permitted to return to Thailand, but must not carry any cargo on the return journey. 

All activities under this temporary arrangement must be completed within the seven-day window from the date of this announcement.

Authorities emphasised that the measure is intended purely as an economic relief effort and does not represent a full reopening of the border amid ongoing security and diplomatic concerns.
