Navy steps up 24/7 Trat patrols to monitor ceasefire compliance
Navy chief orders 24-hour deployments at key Trat border points as the Thailand-Cambodia ceasefire takes effect at noon on Dec 27, monitoring for violations
Rear Admiral Paraj Ratanajaipan, Royal Thai Navy spokesman, said Thailand and Cambodia reached a ceasefire agreement through the General Border Committee (GBC) framework, with the ceasefire set to take effect at 12.00pm on December 27, 2025, alongside measures to reduce tensions along the border.
He said the Royal Thai Navy has acknowledged the outcome of the talks and will strictly follow the Thai government’s policy, guided by a principle of reducing confrontation to maintain stability, protect public safety and support peace along the border.
At the same time, Admiral Pairoj Fueangchan, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Navy, has ordered deployments to control areas and tighten security at key strategic points, with 24-hour monitoring to prevent and check any acts that may violate the agreement or affect Thailand’s sovereignty.
The navy stressed that the ceasefire does not mean reduced military readiness. Rather, it is situation management under diplomacy and international law. The navy said it is maintaining full readiness—both combat and support forces—in the same areas as before, in case the situation changes or the agreement is violated.
Admiral Pairoj also urged the public to remain confident that navy personnel will carry out their duties with dedication and will be ready to protect Thailand’s sovereignty, security and national interests to the fullest extent.
