Thai “gangsters” have been harassing Cambodians crossing the border into Thailand at Koh Kong’s Cham Yeam border crossing, resulting in the crossing’s temporary closure, Cambodian officials have said. The crossing has now reopened after a discussion with Thai authorities.
Sang Sokun, Cambodian Cham Yeam crossing chief, said yesterday that Cambodian authorities had locked the gate at the Cambodian-Thai border May 19 to prevent Cambodians entering Thailand for security reasons after suspicions were raised by a menacing group of “12 Thai gangsters” involved in “irregular activities” on the Thai side of the border.
The 12 Thais behaved rudely, slinging insults at high-ranking Cambodian government officials and normal Cambodians entering Thailand, said Sang Sokun, adding that the group also took photographs of cars carrying senior Cambodian officials.
“After the irregular activities, [border] officials asked permission from the relevant higher authorities to close the border crossing temporarily and requested a meeting with [Thailand’s] Trat provincial governor and other relevant Thai officials to discuss the activities of the Thai group,” said Sang Sokun.
Rin Sopha, a Cambodian border official also present at the meeting, said the Cambodian authorities requested the Thai authorities ban such behavior, otherwise Koh Kong provincial and border authorities would again close the border crossing.
Thai authorities promised to prevent such a situation recurring in future, Rin Sopha claimed.

Dear compatriots Ah Siamese is step by step declaring war with Khmer Nation. They are now mobillizing their militaries gangsters(the black clad) including civllians a long the Siamese& Khmer border to harrasse and boollying us all. This psychopath nation must pay the price with their villainous acts; they are really theives of Khmer nation, this nation must respected Laok Kru KHMER. This nation should go back to learn Khmer History before they're mumbling to reclaim anythin.
for those who didn't know any better, the thai so-called "black clad military personnel" are actually a group of thugs or gangster that exists for the purposes of stealing and harrassing khmer people at the border areas. i think cambodia ought to have a serious talk with the thai authorities about these thugs who are constantly bullying and harrassing innocent khmer civilians who have rights to do businesses or travel back and forth between cambodia and thailand as there are bilateral agreement between the two countries. it's about time these thugs get dissolved permanently as before cambodia forms a similar group in retaliation along our common borders. talk about trouble-makers!
I do agreed with you 1:17am Siamese is setting up politically the group of gangsters, Voyou to do some special task, as you said the black clad gangsters are for harrassement Khmer inocent along the Border; this is a strategy planning for these purposes, such an old villainous tactic how thy could still our land back then.
May lord Budha bless Khmer people.
