BANGKOK, Feb. 5 (Xinhua) -- More than 5,150 villagers residing near the Phu Ma Khua military base west of Preah Vihear temple were evacuated after military clash between Thailand and Cambodia erupted Friday afternoon, Thai TV station Channel 9 reported Saturday.

Thailand's eastern Si Sa Ket province bordering Cambodia has provided temporary shelters for the evacuees.

The report said that the province will provide 30,000 baht (976 U.S. dollars) for the owners of home damaged by the artillery shelling and 50,000 baht (1,627 U.S. dollars) for the family of the dead.

Meanwhile, at Kantharalak district, another spot that one soldier was killed and the other 4 were wounded in a fresh clash early Saturday morning, about 3,605 villagers have already been evacuated. Provincial officers are providing dry food and temporary shelters to the villagers affected by Saturday morning's attacks.

Thailand and Cambodia first started artillery shelling and shooting on Friday afternoon around the disputed border areas near the Preah Vihear temple, the latest flare-up in an ancient row over the controversial land plot adjacent to the 900-year-old Preah Vihear temple.

i said it earlier that after they (khmer & siam) popped some fire crackers, now it is time to evacuate.

next, the tycoons and oknhas from both sides offer their bids to the government for developments - tourisms. all about their pockets!

don't worry about siam! the other side that khmer should be worry! I mean really, really worry, because our Khmer ancesters had always remind us, and still echoe in our mind and heart that "Don't you ever trust Yuon!" Look, how they have been survived. They would do anything, I mean anything, including using their women to get what they want - Champa, Khmer Kampuchea Krom, Lao, and now, they have been inside Khmer homes. Do Khmer have any plan to counter their plans. Khmer need to think about new leader, not later, NOW!

4:57 PM,

I think you are rights! Those people are Khmer ancestors and I don't think the Thai give them any education or give them proper infrastructure for development! They are look no better that the Khmers' village now under the Hun regime...look how they so submissive!

If Khmers continue to be under Hun's regime for another decade...more than 70% of Khmer population will be all look like this!...Khmer "new rich" if you want to know how your khmer brothers and sisters look like in the next decade ...just look at these Thai village people.
