Fighting between Cambodian and Thai forces persisted on December 22, 2025, despite impending ceasefire talks. The conflict, occurring along the Cambodia-Thailand border, has created contrasting realities in the two countries. Communities in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, are experiencing fear and economic hardship due to the ongoing violence. In contrast, life in Bangkok, Thailand, appears to be largely unaffected by the border clashes.
