Thais face court in Sisophon

Thais face court in Sisophon

Four Thai nationals have been apprehended in Cambodia after entering the country to conduct a survey at a mine without authorisation, Sa Kaew immigration police said yesterday.

The four Thais, two married couples, are in Cambodian military custody. They have been charged with illegal entry and carrying no travel documents, police said. They were identified as Sa Kaew natives Saran Parnphet and wife Suriya, and Bai Sodajan and wife Wanwisa.

The four entered Cambodia early yesterday without notifying Thai authorities. They were due to stand trial at a court in Sisophon in Banteay Meanchey late yesterday, but no verdict had been reached at press time.
Quoting Cambodian authorities and military, Thai police said the four were travelling in two pickup trucks carrying survey equipment and generators nine kilometres inside the country when stopped by soldiers in Banteay Meanchey, adjacent to Sa Kaew province.
The four were reportedly accompanied by a group of four Cambodian border patrol police in Banteay Meanchay – but stopped by a different group of soldiers in Oddar Meanchey, where the mine, their destination, is located.
