ARANYAPRATHET, (Thailand): Dozens of tourists and workers, some carrying children, were left stranded on Tuesday (June 24) at Thailand's main land crossing with Cambodia, after the army stopped almost all border traffic in an escalating territorial dispute.
Thailand has closed crossing points in all seven border provinces to everyone except students and those seeking medical treatment, after a long-running row erupted into military clashes last month in which a Cambodian soldier was killed.
