Thailand will begin constructing a 1.3km fence along its eastern border with Cambodia in Chanthaburi province next month. The project, approved by Cambodia, aims to improve security and provide reassurance to residents following deadly clashes between the two countries last year. According to the Royal Thai Armed Forces, the fence construction is not related to territorial disputes. The area has been cleared of landmines and a paved road has been built on the Thai side. The project is expected to take 45 days to complete.
