Cambodia has accused Thailand of escalating border tensions by imposing new restrictions that have blocked almost all land crossings, especially for tourists heading into Cambodia

Thailand is imposing new border restrictions including blocking tourists from entering Cambodia as the two countries engage in retaliation in their border dispute.

More than 5,000 Cambodians are leaving Thailand every day for home as the military standoff in the Emerald Triangle continues to fester with Phnom Penh “permanently closing” two border posts and imposing a ban on all imports of Thai oil and gas.
