Cambodian soldiers stand guard near the bodies of two soldiers who were killed during an exchange of gunfire between Cambodia and Thai troops on Wednesday, at Sraem village in Preah Vihear province, 543 km (337 miles) north of Phnom Penh October 16, 2008. Thai and Cambodian troops fired rockets and small arms at each other on a disputed stretch of border on Wednesday, killing two Cambodians and prompting Bangkok to tell its citizens to return home. Both sides accused each other of firing first in the clash, which comes amid huge political instability in Bangkok, with protesters in a long-running street campaign urging the army to launch a coup against the elected government.

khmer blood and soul have been spilt and lost because of ah siam aggressor. Mr Sen you better do something to get justice for the families of these fallen comrades.
Dear my soldiers.
I'm thankful for ur sacrifice to defend our nation. Please rest in peace my beloved country men and may ur spirit help us defeat this Siam enemy.
My deep condolences to ur family.
Can KI label All Photos at border. So it is easy if we want to see all photo at once just click at one link.
I would like to help and support our Cambodian brothers and sisters. Please provide information.
Khmer two heroes are lying on the ground motionlessly. Please, share your generosity and donation to their families...Cambodia has to name these two soldiers as Khmer heroes.
This is a very emotional situation for their families and it is a sad moment for the whole nation.
For every Khmer out there, captured this moment in your blood to keep the spirit of our hard-fought soldiers alive.
U will be missed.
So so sad to see our brother died. Did any body know that our Khmer troops protect our Motherland or just protected some of high ranking's benefit? The reason I ask because I do not want to see our brother sister died for nothing. How many more Khmer soldier have to died before the Khmer government start to bring these problem to the United Nation? Or maybe they don't care because none of their family member
have to die. May God bless your sole and spirit my brothers and I don't know your survive family will get a good care from Khmer leader or not?

A chhkuot
May you soul lie in peace. All Cambodian people will remember what you had done for our nation. You are my hero.
I think we should use our flag to cover thier body.
I think we must creat a charity program to help thier family. CTN or BAYON foundation must think about this.
we will try our best to help thier family.

This is the politics between the former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin's brother-in-law and Mr. Hun Sen; also, of course, the PAD leaders and their followers have knowledge about this, too. In fact, you need to understand their political chess game; however, these soldiers and innocent lives will have to sacrifice in the process.
Certainly, in the end, the rich will benefit from all the proceeds from Preah Vihear temple tourism -- not the poor and underprivileged people.
12:02 You dont have to send them anything, their government taking care of that and that's what they paid to do the job.
Dont let the opportunist take the advantage on this fallen sodiers.
Dear fallen soldiers !
May your soul rest in peace.We will revenge your death one way or another.From now on ,no more friend with ah siem ever.As long as siem are around ,there will be no peace.

Khmer have to be smart with Siam from now on. We know how they are in the past and sometimes we become too friendly with these people. I appeal to all the Khmer readers in here to stop using anything Thai. Please carry that message to your families. I know you would think it won't do any damage to them but the power of masses will. There are hundred thousands of Khmer abroad alone. This would translate into millions of dollars loss once we stop purchasing Thai products when you go to the supermarket.
War against this fucking Thai can be found by you the ordinary civilians far away from the frontline too. We use the economic strategy in this one. Remember how the Vietnamese were always ahead of the French and the American in Vietnam War? They used many factors, not just militarily.
So, please stop using Thai products. There are alternatives. Thai fucking killed, pillaged, and hated Khmer. Why do you keep going and giving your hard-earned money to these people who killed and looked down on us Khmer. Fuck Thailand and stop using anything Thai. Please! Please! Please!
Now,who will pay for their wives and their children.
May Buddha bless all people khmer!
SHAME to Cambodia government treats falling soldiers body, very poor display, only just white sheet covered. They should properly display with nice coffin and Cambodia flag drapes over and a better display place than just on a piece of clothe.
They are died for Cambodia sovereignty! Ah Hun Xen.
To die of defending a country is a million times better than to live invading other country.
How much monthly salary of the two soldiers? Anyone know. I'm looking to see if I can help financially to the two families on monthly basis until their kids get through school. How I can send to them? their names and address? who I can trust?
Where is Cambodian flag to cover the heroes ???
How muck a piece of that national flag?
Thank you brother 9:43PM,these two heroes should deserve a Cambodian flag for their sacrifices.
How can we send some donations to his family?
9:21 PM and all readers in the KI. It should be a state funeral for our fallen soldiers be named heros.
To 9:21PM
Do you realy mean it? The salary is about $25 to $30 If you want to help, I can provide you a contact person.
He has direct contact with CTN (Khmer TV). CTN will take your donation direct to the family in Preah Vihear and air it on TV.
