CAMBODIAN soldiers in Preah Vihear province are taking the first steps towards rebuilding a market near Preah Vihear temple that was destroyed by Thai rocket fire in April.
Cut timber is currently being brought to Preah Vihear temple in pickup trucks, officials said.
Because the roads are poor, soldiers have needed to carry the timber partway to the site where the new market will soon be assembled.
"Everything is cut before it is sent to the construction site," said Hang Soth, general director of the Preah Vihear National Authority. "We will just raise the timber, connect them together and it's fixed."
Prime Minister Hun Sen earlier this month said the market should have been completed by July 19, though Hang Soth said at the time that that deadline was unrealistic.
Due to inclement weather, authorities did not want to predict when the market would be completed.
"I don't know when it will be finished because now it is the rainy season," said Sor Thavy, the deputy governor of Preah Vihear province.
Ros Heng, deputy governor of Preah Vihear's Choam Ksan district, said the market could bolster tourism when the border dispute with Thailand calms down.
"The market will serve all tourists," he said.
Hang Soth said the market would be constructed with wood, zinc and thatch, and that its style would be in keeping with that of Preah Vihear temple itself.

we right they fight........
Don forget to build the restrooms first. Happened every time, when the schools, temples, .. were built, the bathrooms either didn't exist or lacked of sanitary products like toilet paper. If tourists smell urinate every corners and see shit dump on the rocks. They will look down on Khmers.
any development along the common border is good for cambodia because it act of a landmark and dis-isolated our country. because the concept is the same as letting someone stay home and gard the home so thieve will be deterred from stealing and robbing the house when the owner is home. same concept with borderlines! they must demarcate and develop properly our common borderline by using lawful international treaty map, etc. the case of preah vihear, the thai are obviously wanted to steal it from us by making illegal claim that the surrounding lands was theirs or whatever, however, but we scrutnize the international treaty map, the surrounding lands they claimed were actually belonged to cambodia all along since the treaty of 1907, whether they like it or not! the lands actually belongs to cambodia along with the ancient khmer temple of preah vihear. it would be ignorant on the part of anybody to not know that and violated that! some people needed to be educated about cambodia more from the look of this! people, stop being so bias toward cambodia already. just because thailand is better known internationally, doesn't mean cambodia is less deserve than thailand or whatever! we've been a country for more than two thousand years plus, and we are more than the killing fields, poor economy, some political bickering, etc, etc... i suggest the world get educated and get to know cambodia and our beautiful khmer people better from now on! god bless cambodia.
Agree with 1:18AM! bathroom, restroom is the high priority issue. it's disgusting when tourist has to line up along the roads taking a release...
