Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to hold a December 24 meeting of defence officials aimed at reviving a months-old ceasefire, as fierce border fighting entered a third week with at least 80 people killed, Reuters reported on Tuesday (December 22, 2025).

The Royal Thai Army said Cambodian information operations have used artificial intelligence (AI) to generate a fake passport image of Thai boxing superstar Sombat “Buakaw” Banchamek, in an apparent attempt to convince Thais that he is a Cambodian citizen.

Lavaron Sangsnit, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, said the ministry is studying the imposition of a special business tax on gold trading that is primarily speculative, with an initial focus on transactions conducted via online platforms.
