Original report from Oddar Meanchey province
01 October 2008
Ta Krabey temple, the smallest and most isolated of the Ta Moan temple complex, is a favorite stopping point for patrols on both sides of a continued military border build-up.
Set high on a mountain the Dangrek range in Oddar Meanchey province, the temple was built around the same time as Angkor Wat, in similar stone, with an open style reminiscent of Phnom Penh’s Independence Monument.
Both Thai and Cambodia claim the temple, which is part of a three-temple complex, and on routine daily patrols, soldiers from each side briefly occupy Ta Krabey, which perches at the end of a steep jungle path.
Neither side has claimed tension over the temple, and the rotations are routine, but Cambodian soldiers report frequent helicopter overflights by the Thai military.

9:37 AM, what do you expect, the viet is the savior, so what do you guy expect something would happen along Svay Rieng, Prey Veng, Takeo and others provinces along viet border. I hope that they both cannot change the history, the same as they cannot change the dog to bark as cat miouas. The history written down itself as it was, though the Thais try to write down it differently to teach their children to hate khmers, still look like they hate themselves, as they have khmer blood too. Jeyoo!
again, cambodia, please learn from the past mistake. this is what can happen when certain area of the nation is kept isolated for too long. my advice, do not isolate any part of cambodia again. please learn from the past. thank you and god bless cambodia.
