Thailand has imposed restrictions on all travellers going from Thailand to Cambodia, including tourists.

People will not be allowed to travel by road into Cambodia from Thailand. People will also not be able to fly from Thailand into the Cambodian tourist hub, Siem Reap.

Relations between the two countries are at the lowest point in the last decade. This comes after a border clash in May left a Cambodian soldier dead.

This has seen the two countries place punitive restrictions on each other – for example, Cambodia has banned the import of Thai fruit and vegetables and Thai films and television series.

Tensions have spiked at various times over the past century, with there still being a dispute over a border drawn up more than a century ago by French colonial authorities.
