THE Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on Tuesday rejecting accusations from Bangkok that railings constructed near the Ta Krabey temple in Oddar Meanchey province were built in Thai territory.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Koy Kuong said the statement was prompted by a note sent last month by the Thai ministry of foreign affairs to the Cambodian embassy in Bangkok.
“They claimed that the temple of Ta Krabey and the surrounding area are in Thai territory,” Koy Kuong said Tuesday. “They accused us of building the railings in their territory.”
In a response to the Thai ministry of foreign affairs dated last Friday, the Cambodian embassy in Bangkok said the railings in question had been constructed 500 metres away from Ta Krabey temple, well inside Cambodian territory.
Ministry of Defence spokesman Chhum Socheat said the railings had been constructed to help transport supplies up the steep hills in the area for
Cambodia troops patrolling the border.
“We built the cabin rails for transporting food, equipment and especially water to the soldiers patrolling at the top of the hill,” Chhum Socheat said, and added that the now-complete project began about five months ago.
A similar project in the Phnom Trop area, near Preah Vihear temple, drew Thai anger last year, Chhum Socheat said, though Cambodian officials stood firm on the issue.
Thai and Cambodian troops exchanged fire last month near Phnom Trop after, Cambodian troops say, a group of Thai soldiers got drunk and began firing recklessly into Cambodian territory.
Phnom Trop, along the contentious border between Cambodia and Thailand, also became a flashpoint in January, when commanders from both sides met to discuss troop movements in the disputed area. Troops stationed nearby exchanged fire briefly on January 24, four days after the meeting, though no one was hurt and a new round of negotiations followed.
Thai government spokesman Panitan Wattanayagorn referred questions to officials at the Thai ministry of foreign affairs, who could not be reached for comment.

They claimed that the temple of Ta Krabey ... [is] in thai territory.The allegation that Cambodia had breached Thai sovereignty in the area was “baseless”, the embassy added.

Down Ah Siamese!
WHy would we care what damn siam said what we construct in our land . one it is the thief siam ;it 's still the thief just like yuon.
cambodia must tell siem thieves to get lost because if it's up to siem, they would steal all of cambodia.
Ta Krorbei is Khmer's word which is translating from Siamese's word that had been translating from Khmer calling this Prasath as PRASATH DORGWAAY, then Siamese had translated it as her closest word is KWAAY=KRORBEI in Khmer word. Therefore Khmer people not know much about it then continously repeated calling after Siam always.
Do you remember when was the Thai lady singer name PHIM PHUONG sang a song, Said OH! YES, OH YES!, She pronouned OH YETT!, OH YETT! instead,it's annoyingly a lady Khmer singer at this day is singing after her OH YETT! OH YETT! instead of OH YES!( Khmer has no problem to pronoun YES word, why she has to repeat after the wrong one?)in Khmer version?, I don't get it at all. This is a similarity to Prasath Ta-Crorbei.
Do it right The prize will come!!
K.O
interesting! yes, khmer language can pronounce any word the way it sounds originally. i know siem can't pronounce khmer words, thus twisted it. so, the young people who are not familiar with the word repeat it after what they hear. good for pointing it out here. yes, we need to educate the world and young generation to know the truth and speak it correctly, not like siem, ok!
believe it or not, both youn and siem always change khmer names by translating it into their language. and for westerners who are uneducated about khmer history, language, etc, they think it's all youn and siem and no khmer. so, all khmer people now have to re-educate the world about our country, etc... khmer people always knows somethings about our own culture, our own ways, our country, our language, etc... don't be surprised if a lot of siem places names and youn plances names were translated directly from khmer names for those places, really!
Cambodia is our country and we all have the right to protect our beloved country Cambodia.
With the support of the Khmer people around the world, the Cambodian Government then will have more power to protect our country again all foreigner aggressors,
Cambodian Govt should tell Thais that Bangkok and the whole Thailand country are belonged to Khmer Empier..not just Prasat Ta Krabei, Thais called Ta Khvay? i still upset, why we did'nt take good care of Prasat Ta Mouan..and allowed Thais to stay there...?? it's inside our territory, why don't we use force to push Thais bastards out.!!!!!!!!!!??????
Hun Sen Scared...F16 and F18 hornet!
Khmens are bunch of turtle inside the shells...they do needed Thais to rescue them from Viet-leeches..
Khaopaddyadoungchhai lumpperttoimaidounng
modern day cambodia look beyond youn and siem. unlike during the dark age era, there are many more countries in the world, so, don't assume khmer people look to youn and siem again. cambodia don't need youn and siem!
