Summary: Thai warplanes have struck casino and resort complexes inside Cambodia that authorities say were being used as bases by transnational online scam networks and criminal cartels; these strikes have disrupted alleged Chinese‑linked phishing and trafficking operations and raised serious safety and humanitarian concerns for border areas.

Thai military aircraft carried out strikes on multiple casino and resort compounds near the Cambodia–Thailand border that regional reporting links to transnational online fraud rings and organized criminal networks operating scam call‑centers and related illicit businesses. The strikes are part of an escalating border conflict and were described by officials as targeting facilities used for military staging and for criminal operations.

The affected complexes have been reported in international coverage as hubs for phishing scams, forced labor and human trafficking, with victims and staff potentially trapped or displaced by the attacks; humanitarian observers warn that raids and bombardment can increase risks to trafficked persons and complicate rescue or repatriation efforts. The cross‑border fighting has already produced civilian displacement and heightened security along frontier provinces.

Travel advisory: Avoid travel to the Thailand–Cambodia border region until authorities confirm the area is secure. Travelers should defer non‑essential trips, monitor official government travel advisories, register with their embassy if already in the region, and expect road closures, checkpoints, and sudden security operations. Keep emergency contacts and documentation accessible, and exercise caution around large resorts or compounds that may be linked to criminal activity.

Key risks: active military strikes, organized‑crime activity, human trafficking, and sudden displacement. Stay informed through official channels and local news; prioritize safety and avoid border crossings until stability is restored.
