Despite land border restrictions, bilateral trade between Cambodia and Thailand reached approximately $239 million in April, with total trade volume for the first four months reaching $925 million. Data from the General Department of Customs and Excise (GDCE) shows that from January to April, Cambodia exported about $235 million worth of goods to Thailand, down 28.3% from $327 million in the same period last year.
Meanwhile, Cambodia imported about $690 million worth of goods from Thailand, a sharp decline of 40.8% from $1.16 billion in the same period in 2025, resulting in a trade surplus for Thailand.
Despite restrictions at land border crossings between the two countries, the nearly $1 billion trade volume highlights ongoing cross-border economic activity and strong demand for goods.
According to statistics from the GDCE report, total bilateral trade between Cambodia and Thailand in the first four months of this year fell 38.1% year-on-year to $925.4 million, compared to $1.49 billion in the same period last year.
Bilateral trade is expected to reach about $696 million by the first quarter of 2026. The latest GDCE data shows that trade between Cambodia and Thailand in April alone was approximately $239 million.
Despite Cambodia’s boycott of Thai products including fuel, cosmetics, and consumer goods, Thailand remains one of Cambodia’s major trading partners, ranking fifth in the GDCE rankings, due to strong trade in agricultural products, construction materials, and industrial supplies.
Although border restrictions and slowing regional demand have affected trade flows, the continued circulation of goods demonstrates the unbreakable economic ties between these two neighboring countries.
