Clashes between Thai and Cambodian troops affect trade
Clashes between Thai and Cambodian troops near the disputed Preah Vihear temple have affected trade and tourism businesses in the area, as about Bt50 million in revenue would be lost during the first few weeks, said Thanawat Palavichai, director of the Economic and Business Forecast Centre at the University of Thai Chamber of Commerce.
Thai and Cambodian troops clashed for a fourth straight day on Monday over a disputed border area surrounding a 900-year-old Hindu temple as Cambodia urged the UN Security Council to intervene.
