BANGKOK, 30 April 2011  – The majority of Thai businesspeople in Cambodia have not been affected by the Thai-Cambodian border clashes, according to the Minister of Commerce.

Ms Pornthiva Nakasai said she had checked with the Thai commercial counselor attached to the Thai embassy in Phnom Penh and found that Thai business activities were carrying on normally despite a series of artillery exchanges at the Thai-Cambodian border.

According to the minister, most of the Thai businesses in the neighboring country are located opposite the northeastern Thai provinces of Sa Kaeo and Trat while the clashes usually take place in Surin and Buri Ram.
