On the morning of August 8, 2025, many more Cambodian workers left Thailand and returned home through the Doung International Border Checkpoint in Kamrieng District, Battambang Province.
The workers’ return journey was met with coordination and a warm welcome from Battambang Governor Sok Lou, his spouse, and all relevant authorities. Governor Sok Lou and his spouse also greeted the workers, asked about their well-being, and provided them with snacks and water.
Governor Sok Lou stressed that Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet had looked after the workers and provided hundreds of buses to take them safely to their respective hometowns.
The Cambodian workers said they felt happy and warmly welcomed on returning home, and that the Royal Government had taken good care of them. They said they hoped to find jobs in Cambodia and no longer planned to return to Thailand for work. They thanked Prime Minister Hun Manet for his continued concern for their well-being and for providing free bus transport to their hometowns.
