The Ministry of Foreign Affairs warns Israelis who are in Thailand

As of today, at least eight people have been killed since the beginning of the clashes, according to reports from both sides. The fighting has spread to other points along the disputed border, with allegations of rocket attacks and drone strikes in some areas. About 400,000 people living along the border dividing the Southeast Asian countries were evacuated.

The Thai Foreign Minister, Sihasek Phuangkatkao, hinted that the conflicts could escalate, and claimed that military action will continue “until we feel that sovereignty and territorial integrity will not be undermined.” Donald Trump, who was responsible for the broken ceasefire agreement, indicated that he was expected to talk to the countries in an attempt to calm the spirits.

As far as tourism is concerned, the border area between the countries is not considered very touristy, but it still has sacred areas. In the meantime, Ta Krabi Temple, a sacred cultural site in Cambodia, suffered a lot of damage due to the use of bombs and heavy attacks by the Thai army.

Yesterday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a recommendation to Israeli citizens to avoid arriving and staying near the border line between the two countries, including in Sisaket district and in the Phu Phra Lek and Phlan Hin Paet Kon areas close to the border line. Most of the border crossings in the area are closed to traffic, and the area is not suitable for tourist visits at this time. In addition, listen to and follow the instructions of the security forces and authorities as they are published in the local media.
