Poipet Port on the Thai-Cambodian border is the largest land route between Thailand and Cambodia. Since the outbreak of a new round of border clashes between Thailand and Cambodia, the Poipet port has been completely closed. The port used to be full of traffic, but now all that's left is military police and silence. Nearby small towns that use the border economy as a lifeline have also come to a standstill. The impact of the conflict on the economy is even colder in data from the Thai Ministry of Commerce. From January to May 2025, the average monthly border trade between Thailand and Cambodia stabilized at 16 billion baht. After the conflict broke out, trade volume fell cliff-style from July to September to an average of only 11 million baht per month, less than one-thousandth of what it was before. Among them, Thailand's import data to Cambodia fell to zero in September.
