Job Scare in Border Closure Rumour

TNA reports a large number of Thais crossed into the Cambodian border town of Poi Pet to gamble amid renewed rumours that Thai officials would close the Aranyaprathet border checkpoint on Sunday.

The border official said he had assured traders on both sides of the border that Thailand would not close the Aranyaprathet border checkpoint.

The rumours have made Cambodian vendors reluctant to place purchase orders for Thai goods with merchants in Aranyaprathet.

More than a thousand Thais employed in the casinos in Cambodia are also worried about losing their jobs.
