Thai protesters continued to prevent Cambodian motorbikes from entering Thailand via the O’Smach international border gate in Oddar Meanchey province, officials said yesterday. The gate was closed for a few hours Wednesday after Thai villagers demonstrated in an attempt to block Cambodian vehicles from transporting goods across the border.
