Thailand–Cambodia border clashes pose no risk to Kazakh tourists - MFA
Recent Thailand–Cambodia border clashes remain far from tourist destinations and do not threaten Kazakhstani citizens, Qazinform News Agency reports, citing the Official Spokesperson of the Kazakh Foreign Ministry, Aibek Smadiyarov.
Aibek Smadiyarov noted that around 3,000 Kazakh nationals arrive in Thailand every day. However, since most of the citizens of Kazakhstan visiting the country are tourists, fewer than 150 people are registered with the consular office.
“The clashes are far from resort areas. Therefore, our citizens have no reason to worry. Nevertheless, our embassy is monitoring the entire situation in regular mode. For now, everything remains calm. Resort zones are hundreds, even thousands of kilometers away from the conflict area,” the Kazakh MFA's Spokesperson said.
He added that visitors should still avoid entering restricted zones.
Given the distance and stable conditions in tourist areas, Kazakhstan's Foreign Ministry refrained from issuing any recommendations for its citizens currently in Thailand.
As previously reported, Thailand's military launched air raids along its disputed border with Cambodia after clashes that killed one Thai soldier and four Cambodian civilians, with both governments trading blame for the escalation.
