Thai and Cambodian Military Officials Hold Border Talks at Chong Sa-Ngam
Military representatives from Thailand and Cambodia met at the Chong Sa-Ngam border crossing to discuss regional security and address recent drone sightings.
On October 28, 2026, the Thai Second Army Area hosted an informal meeting of the Regional Border Committee (RBC) at the Chong Sa-Ngam permanent border crossing in Phu Sing District, Sisaket Province. The session involved the Thai Second Army and the Cambodian Fourth Military Region to facilitate coordination and maintain stability along the shared border.
According to Khaosod Online, the primary focus of the discussion was the recent detection of unidentified drones within Thai-controlled territory. Thai officials confirmed that no domestic agencies were operating the devices and requested that their Cambodian counterparts investigate units in the area to prevent potential escalations. Both sides reiterated their commitment to existing General Border Committee (GBC) agreements, emphasizing strict control over troop movements and prohibiting any unauthorized expansion of forces or changes to current positions along the border.
For residents and travelers in the Sisaket border region, these talks serve as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to maintain regional security. While the meeting was described as a routine coordination mechanism, the presence of military discussions highlights the sensitivity of the area. Travelers should remain aware that border security protocols are subject to strict enforcement. It remains to be confirmed whether the source of the drone activity has been identified or if further measures will be implemented to address the surveillance concerns.
