The US State Department has issued an advisory for its citizen, asking them to avoid travelling to areas within 50 kilometres of the Thailand-Cambodia border.
The advisory comes as the Thai-Cambodian border tensions quickly escalated on Wednesday.
Noting that the Royal Thai Government has ordered a full shutdown of the border crossings in both Chanthaburi and Trat provinces, including both land and maritime routes, the State Department advised its citizens over the travel to these areas.
The advisory said that American citizens living or travelling in the affected region should adhere to the directions from the Thai security services and consult local government authorities for the latest information.
Both Thai and Cambodian military forces continued to exchange heavy fire on Friday, with at least 16 people losing their lives in the border battle so far.
