Border Restrictions Leave Surin’s OTOP Market Deserted
Thailand’s Chong Jom border checkpoint in Surin Province has scaled back operations to just three days a week, leaving the nearby OTOP market unusually quiet. Local vendors, like 62-year-old Mrs. Wandee, say Cambodian shoppers can’t cross, hurting sales. She urged both nations to resolve tensions peacefully for the sake of livelihoods and regional harmony.
