269 passengers of the Jupiter Cruise ship linking Sihanoukville and Pattaya were not allowed to enter Thailand on 25 December, in spite of the normal situation.

269 tourists including 257 Cambodian were denied access to Thailand on Christmas Day even though they hold proper visas and passports, the Cambodian ministry of Foreign Affairs indicated on 08 January.

“208 of the passengers held visa issued by the Thai embassy in Phnom Penh, 27 held diplomatic or service passports, and 22 held foreign passports,” Long Visalo, the Foreign Affairs secretary of state, indicated during a press conference.

Five of the passengers held passports without visa.

The British skipper of the cruise ship was informed by the Thai authority that his passengers were not authorized to enter Thailand, unless they [each] post a $1,500 bond deposit that they can collect back after three months just in case any of these passengers cause “trouble” in Thailand.

“Thailand violated the Memorandum of Understanding by refusing access of these passengers to its territory. The Cambodians did not try to cross the border illegally. Why did the Thai embassy issued visas to them if it is afraid that these Cambodians would cause trouble?”

Ung Sean, the Foreign Affairs secretary of state, sent a protest memorandum to the Thai embassy.

Among the passengers, there were a Cambodian Senator and Benson Samay, the notary guild president.

The Cambodian ministry of Foreign Affairs was not informed about this incident until 06 January, and the passengers did not bring any complain.

Yeah, why don't we just stop going to such unsafe land in the world? If I had money like them, I would rather go to visit other destinations in Asia.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it is a casino boat!!
It is still moored in Sihanoukville ever since the incident. That must cost the Khmer, Australian and swiss partners a fortune.

All,
Thais tortured, raped, robbed, killed Khmer refugees since 1975. Hun Sen and Vietnameses weren't even existed at that time. This recent events are related to the sickness of Thai people. Your accusation to your own people have lost its credibility.....

The Combidians; How many of you have been working and earning in Thailand? You are starving and having problems, you better curse your leader whom has been co-operating with a fugitive from Thailand. Stupid.

As I read some of those reactions, I see the Thaï autorities were right to deny entry ...

It seems -once more- that hatred is self-fulfilling !

It's your fault, Khmers dogs shouldn't think to come to Thailand. Cambodia's diplomats or ordinary people, they are the same, fucking low-class human-being....hahahahha
These Khmer dickheads can cause trouble. So Thai authorities did the right thing to reject them. Just live in your shithole country and fuck with your garbage children...Okay??
