Cambodia has agreed to dismantle its controversial breakwater built into the Gulf of Thailand while the Royal Thai Navy has rejected media reports claiming it issued demands or threats to force Cambodia to dismantle the structure.
The dispute centres on Cambodia’s construction of a 300-metre breakwater in its coastal Koh Kong province, which borders Thailand’s Trat province. The structure extends outward into the Gulf of Thailand rather than running parallel to the coastline, making it ineffective as a wave barrier and raising concerns that it could cause Thailand to lose maritime territory.
