Following the detention of three Thai villagers who unknowingly wandered into Cambodian territory recently, Thailand has sort [sought?] to assure its citizens that the men are not spies and had been detained in an isolated incident unrelated to the ongoing political tensions.
Surin, the 20th of August 2010: The trio of hunters, Sanong Wongchareon, Ling Pongphet and Lan Sapsri, were arrested by Cambodian border police earlier this week after they had strayed across the border from the northeastern province of Surin.
Initial reports suggested that the group were Thai spies due to the ongoing political tension between the neighbouring countries over the Preah Vihear Temple. However, it has now been ascertained that the three men had been carrying crude homemade firearms, hunting and gathering resources in the forested region. Allegedly, they unknowingly crossed the border at which point they were detained by Cambodian authorities.
Second Army Region Commander Lieutenant General Veevalit Chornsamrit reaffirmed the public that the three arrested men, now detained in Siam Reap, are not spies and were merely hunting in the forested border region. Lt. Gen. Chornsamrit explained that the trio would now face legal prosecution in Cambodia before being deported back across the border.
“The villagers simply strayed while hunting for game,” the Thai commander said. “Recently some Cambodians were discovered crossing into Thailand, which we deported back to their homeland, according to the Thai commander.”
Thai officials are now cooperating with their Cambodian counterparts in order to bring back the three men, while residents along the extensive border have been urged to take care when moving close to the border and to refrain from entering the forested regions near the Preah Vihear Temple to avoid a repeat of the ongoing situation.
Deputy Director of the Thailand’s Foreign Ministry (Department of Information) Thani Thangpakdee, revealed that the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh had already been engaged to provide assistance to the three arrested Thai nationals.

Thai did not beat up Cambodian people who trespassing into their territory. They just shoot and kill. How many Cambodian lives so far that got murdered by Thai soldiers? There're many people that we did not have record of.
We should do the same thing to those Thai; especially, Youn Vietcong. Don't spare them.
Cambodian soldiers are brave when they beat up, torture and kill defenseless cambodian civilians. When they meet the thais, they kiss ass.
Thailand is always showing the unhumane way to Cambodia, but why cambodia is still being nice to Thailand? I have heard Khmer people died inside Thailand all the time, but never Thai died inside Cambodia at all.
Thailand should show some respect or Cambodia should retaliate and stop being so nice while the Thai are not.
