Air Chief Marshal Prapas Sornjaidee, director of the centre, led the delegation to inspect areas linked to scam operations and to review security conditions along the border. Early last month, military attachés from 20 countries, including those from the United States, Malaysia and Vietnam, as well as FBI officials, were taken to the Chong Chom border crossing. The visit follows clashes along the Thai-Cambodian border last December and was intended to provide foreign partners with a first-hand view of areas long suspected of hosting large-scale scam operations. The delegation crossed to survey locations opposite Chong Chom, facing O'Smach in Cambodia's Oddar Meanchey province, an area identified by the Thai army as a major scam hub.
