The clarification followed an urgent order signed by Col Nattawut Somphrom, commander of the Khok Sung Special Task Force, under the Martial Law Act B.E. 2457 (1914).
The order bars people from entering a military-controlled area around border markers 46-47, east of Sri Phen Road, in Ban Nong Chan, Non Mak Mun subdistrict, Khok Sung district, Sa Kaeo province, to prevent possible action by ill-intentioned groups.

Only local residents with farmland in the area are allowed to enter for agricultural purposes between 6am and 6pm. They must carry their national ID cards, identify themselves and register with officials every time they enter.
