On September 29, 2025, Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul revealed plans for a referendum to address a long-standing border dispute with Cambodia. This decision comes after heightened tensions and violent clashes earlier in July, which resulted in significant casualties and displacement. The proposed referendum seeks to gauge public support for revoking a memorandum of understanding that has governed border issues since 2000. While Charnvirakul believes this will help avoid further conflict, political analysts caution that simply revoking the agreements may not provide a solution. They emphasize the need for a clear alternative that both nations can agree upon. In addition to addressing the border issue, Charnvirakul's government is also focused on economic reforms and the establishment of a new democratic constitution, with elections anticipated within four months.
