Bangkok: The Eastern Border Command has initiated a 24-hour live stream to confirm that border checkpoints remain completely closed, directly countering circulating rumors about their reopening. This measure is intended to dispel misinformation suggesting that checkpoints have secretly reopened, allowing Cambodians entry into Thailand for educational purposes.
According to Thai News Agency, the Eastern Command has taken the proactive step of installing CCTV cameras at the Thai-Cambodian border. This live footage is accessible to the public around the clock, ensuring transparency and allowing individuals to verify the status of the checkpoints themselves. The Eastern Command has firmly stated that these closures are in strict compliance with security measures and no unauthorized access has been permitted, contrary to the claims circulating online.
Authorities urge the public to exercise caution when interpreting information and to rely on official announcements for accurate updates. They also appeal to individuals to share verified information to prevent misunderstandings and curb the spread of misleading content on social media platforms.
