On 7 April 2026, the Joint Information Center on the Thailand - Cambodia Situation (JIC) led a delegation of the media, including 28 journalists from 15 foreign media outlets, on a site visit to Surin Province, accompanied and facilitated by officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During the visit, the foreign media had the opportunity to observe areas affected by the clashes between Thailand and Cambodia, and received briefings on Thailand’s military operations, which had consistently been conducted in strict compliance with international law and international humanitarian law.

The delegation also had the chance to observe various buildings in a former scam compound in the Chong Chom border area of Surin Province. They were briefed on how the various buildings in the scam compound had been used not only for illegal activity but also as a military base for Cambodian forces, which constitutes a violation of international law through the use of civilian buildings for military purposes. In addition, they were able to witness firsthand how transnational criminal networks operate as a global threat at industrial scale causing huge losses on populations both within and beyond the region.

Due to additional interest, the Information Center has organized this field visit for foreign media for the second time to provide them with first-hand information based on empirical evidence, reflecting the transparency of Thailand’s actions all along. This demonstrates Thailand’s commitment and role to raise awareness and advance international cooperation against online scams. Thailand hopes to count on Cambodia’s serious and sincere cooperation in suppressing these criminal networks, in order to strengthen mutual trust and promote confidence in Southeast Asia as a secure and stable region.
