Cambodia’s Ministry of Information issued a statement on Thursday, June 12, 2024, asking all TV stations to stop broadcasting Thai movies and shows. The statement came into effect at midnight.
The ministry told TV station owners to take responsibility and stop airing Thai content. This decision was made after Cambodia’s leader, Hun Manet, announced that the country would stop buying internet from Thailand. He claimed that there were threats on Thai social media to cut off electricity and internet sales to Cambodia.
This move affects all types of Thai films and shows. TV stations must comply with the new rule. The ministry’s statement did not provide a reason for the ban, but it comes amid rising tensions between the two countries.
Cambodia will no longer rely on Thailand for internet services. The country is taking steps to reduce its dependence on its neighbor. The situation is being closely monitored, and the impact of the ban on Thai content is still unclear.
