The Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department on Tuesday declared three border districts of Surin province emergency disaster zones as a consequence of the fierce fighting near two border temple ruins between Thai and Cambopdian troops.
Department chief Wiboon Sa-nguanpong said the latest border clashes along the Thai-Cambodian border near Ta Muen Thom and Ta Kwai temples in tambon Bakdai in Phanom Dong Rak district prompted provincial authorities to declare three districts - Phanom Dong Rak, Kab Choeng and Prasat - disaster zones which are at risk of attacks from outside armed forces.
The disaster zones cover a total of 142 villages in the three border districts, said Mr Wiboon.
So far, a total of 25,835 border villagers have been evacuated to 22 temporary shelters since the fighting erupted last Friday.
The department has deployed 66 officials, three drinking-water trucks, five electric-generating trucks, 14 water trucks, 423 tents, two transportation trucks and 60 mobile toilet trucks at the temporary shelters, he said.

Too bad for HUN SEN government! If Hun Sen buy some good weapons for the country it will not got this far. And plus Thai got nothing from Khmer and YUON got almost everything all around the Cambodia borders plus Koh Tral and mass sea surfaces. Koh Tral probably bigger than Singapore and Hun Sen said nothing to YUON and why he is acting tough with 4.6km2??
Plus this stupid Prayuth Chan-ocha had stated that the government was currently discussing whether or not to go to war with Cambodia over the disputed border.
This is a sign of declaring war with Cambodia. Hun Sen needs to get a few missiles from N. Korea and aim them to Bangkok, this will shut the Thai up for good.
Khmer Koh Kong,
Nimth Chaosen,
Thailand should use Cluster Munitions to pray on Hun Sen' Thugs!
Thailand should use Cluster Munitions to spray on Hun Sen' Thugs and your family!
Thailand creating disaster on themself, not Cambodia. They sent in the troops to pick a fight. They're invaders, not peaceful and trusted neighbor. They're playing with deadly game. They can start/stop the war whenever they want too since they're reacher and better equipped army than Cambodia. Yet Cambodians are united and stand firm to defend their motherland and fight to the last drop of blood. Thailand are not serious about peace.
Lucky for you, the damn Thai. You only have 3 districts to declare as disaster zones.
Cambodia has the whole country as disaster zones, the Viet are everywhere, and they keep on coming as friends. But soon or later they will be the enemies, and the Khmer have nowhere to run.
I think I believe in something; I believe I'm shooting a soldier of another human being, this makes a lot of common sense to me or I be killed by him.
WHY THE HELL YOU GUY WANNA MAKE HUN SEN LOOK BAD.. HUN SEN DOES NOT WANT WAR,,HUN SEN WANNA REBUILT CAMBODIA FROM A YEAR ZERO..
IF HUN SEN WANTS MAKE A WAR WITH OUR NIEGHBOURING COUNTRIES HE'S JUST ASKS NORTH KOREA AND CHINA FOR THE NUKE..HUN SEN DOES NOT WANNA KHMER PEOPLE TO SUFFERING LIKE IN POL POT REGIME ANYMORE..
WHO'S EVER DIDN'T BELIEVE JANUARY.7.1979..KHMERS WERE SAVED LIFE BY VIETCONG AND HUN SEN GROUP..YOU'RE MUST BE AN IGNORENCE KHMER AND YOU'RE NOT A BUDDHA BELIEVER..A BUHHDA BELIEVER IS ABOUT A GRATTITUDE TOWARD ONE ANOTHER..
LONG LIVE HUN SEN DYNATY..
It is time to retake all Khmer provinces back!!!
Ah hypocrite Vietnamese tactics to use Preach Vihear as a battlefield as a pretext to turn away Khmer and the world attention from its strategy to swallow Cambodia. It is possible to a point that Viet Soldier come back to Cambodia as a pretext to help Khmer troop. Khmer army cannot compare/ resist to Thai Army with 6 fresh modern Jas 39 (Gripen) from Sweden and more than 100 F16. Those BM 21’s Ah Hun Sen cannot last more an hour face to Thai air force. The Preah Vihear conflict, if we want to end it, It is very sample is to bring that case to the UN Security Council. What is the result from ASEAN? In that today situation, why didn't Ah Youn Ho Nam Hong bring that case to the international judge? Everybody knows that it will be effective based on the Paris peace accord. Why Ah Ho Nam Hong and CPP gang backed by Ah Youn leave as an unfinished conflict?
Ah Hun Sen is a real Puppet. Has Ah Hun Sen Answer to the Boeung Kak Case? Have Ah Hun Sen Answered to Prey Lang Case? Has ah Hun Sen Answered to the Youn’s encroachment? And many more…
The bottom line ah Hun Sen Is AH KBOT JEAT.
Lucky for you, the damn Thai. You only have 3 districts to declare as disaster zones.
Cambodia has the whole country as disaster zones, the Viet are everywhere, and they keep on coming as friends. But soon or later they will be the enemies, and the Khmer have nowhere to run.
All Khmer Surin say they are Thais people...brainwashed by too much watching Thai TV and the used of Thai products. Real Khmer need to sent them back to Thailand and let them stay them if they say they are not Khmer living in Khmer land.
LONG LIVE HUN SEN DYNATY..
KILL ALL THE KHMER FOR ME..

You should give credit to the Thai gov’t for making Khmer Surin loving them.
Unlike the corrupt and incompetent Khmer gov’t who cannot even make Khmer liking them.

BURNING ISSUE
Thailand needs to reconsider its position
Published on April 27, 2011
The latest border skirmish between Thailand and Cambodia at Ta Mouan Thom temple is solid proof that Abhisit Vejjajiva's foreign policy and diplomatic skill towards Cambodia are absolutely wrong and have failed to help bring peace with its neighbour.
Many soldiers and civilians have lost their lives in recent years since Thailand opposed Cambodia's plan to get World Heritage listing for the Preah Vihear temple in 2008.
The latest clash at Ta Mouan and Ta Kwai (known in Cambodia as Ta Krabei), some 150km west of Preah Vihear, is just an extension of the conflict in February, which was caused by Cambodian disappointment at Abhisit's policy.
The issue became complicated and very difficult to resolve as the current Thai government mixed everything up. Thailand and Cambodia's conflict these days are a combination of boundary issues, military arrangements at the border, management of the World Heritage plan, as well as local and international politics.
The root cause of the problem began when Abhisit's government linked the World Heritage management plan with boundary demarcation of areas near to the temple. This government would use all means to block the management plan for Preah Vihear if demarcation of the boundary is not completed.
But even a schoolboy knows that boundary demarcation is time-consuming work and it could be separated from the management of World Heritage property. Legal experts agree that World Heritage listing should not cause Thailand to lose rights of sovereignty over territory adjacent to the temple - if that land really belongs to this country.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen also knows that Abhisit wants to use this issue to delay his plan for Preah Vihear.
Abhisit has felt compelled to do this, as he has been pressured by conservative and nationalist groups, which have camped near his office for months now.
A plan to make permanent peace at the border was also deferred because the Thai military hesitated to receive Indonesian observers at the border. The government has stalled on this since it agreed to the proposal in February. No observer from Indonesia has set a foot on the ground since the last clash at Preah Vihear in February.
Perhaps it's too shallow to think that Cambodia attacked Thailand simply because it wants to 'internationalise' the conflict. Would anybody think twice on why Phnom Penh might want to do this? And why Thailand was so scared of a multilateral forum wanting to resolve the problem?
Abhisit insists from time to time that existing bilateral mechanisms should be used to strike a deal with Cambodia over the conflict - as though he never knew that such a method would be ineffective at settling a contemporary dispute.
It sounds very na๏ve to call local commanders on both sides for a ceasefire when everybody knows that only Prime Minister Hun Sen can make such a decision. So the question is why doesn't Abhisit, as head of government, call his Cambodian counterpart to get a ceasefire?
If the government has no diplomatic capacity to convince Cambodian leaders to settle the conflict, the only option is for an acceptable third party. So, if Thailand has nothing to hide, having foreign observers at the border to monitor a cease-fire should not be a worry.
In this context, Asean, which is now chaired by Indonesia, is available and ready to enhance its role in solving the problem for its two member states.
Phnom Penh is also ready to comply with Asean's line, as it called for observers. But the problem has been on our side.
Time is running out and the situation is escalating. Perhaps the original plan to dispatch only 15 Indonesian observers on each side is not enough now. If Thailand wants to limit the size of the problem and find a solution, it needs to adjust its position and make a decision now.
it's phnom dongrak, not phanom or whatever in siem thugs' ugly tone, ok! learn khmer language for a change, ok!
it good, let them learn how war like.
Cambodia will become Vietnam if CCP clan exist, and fighting with Thai means dying for Yuon.
stop using youn and siem excuse on cambodia, ok; for your information we do not trust nor like either one of them, ok! what part of khmer don't people understand?
I think KI should not report or quote Thai's newspapers as these are bias and may confused the international views on their invasion into Cambodia.
siem newspapers are the world most biased newspapers i've ever seen. good idea to never quote from them!
siem newspapers, even the english ones are all about siem, talk about bias, really! i stop reading it a long time ago, you know!
the fighting at the border will going on and live of Khmers from both sides of the border continue to loss until two top guys from Cambodia and Thailand out of power.
Unfortunately the pro-democracy parties in Cambodia doesn't know how to win even majority peoples in their side...sad sad sad for Cambodian.
khmer basac
CTN, CTV and Bayon TV media is not informing or telling the Khmer people the truth about the country. Same crap with the kings government. They afraid one day the Khmer Citizen will know the truth. who's run the country alway sell Us Khmer people out for money or power.
Thais are serious of invading Khmer land.....I wouldnt sent my kids to died for this useless Hun Sen government. CCP alway care for theirs personnel gain and money.
Thai officials (crooks or thieves) are trying to play the tricks or games by rejecting an offer to have U.N. peacekeeping troops being sent to the area after the clashes erupted in February. I think the UN would send troops to the borders anyway, but Thai officials will act like a childish or three-year-old kid. Thai officials would respect that the UN have made the decision on both sides. Thai officials always want to do it alone with Cambodia to join the bilateral cooperation between the countries without the UN intervention. However, ASEAN's intervention is so far not going anywhere.
What is wrong with flip-flopped Thai officials?
Again, Preah Vihear and the dispute area surrounding it are not belonged to Thailand. Danm it, Thai officials.
why? khmer so afraid of vietnamese
come on,, come on be strong,
it good,that, we can have support
we not afraid of siem, why ? we afraid of vietnamese
God bless all Khmer around the world. We must put out difference aside and stand united to defend our country from all enemies. The thai has looked down upon Khmer throughout history. We always fought but lost many of our provinces,like Khmer surin and many more. Stand united, fight hard and maybe we'll take surin province back.
First round in kick boxing Khmer is a loser, Thai is a winner and Vietnamese is a referee.
Vietnamese will take everything from a Khmer loser.
In a full scale war Hun Sen is an under dog soldiers no comparison to Thai in everything.
Hun Sen is the most stupid and dumbest in Southeast Asia and he is also a prisoner of Communist masters of Hanoi. He is the one who wants to be a PM of Cambodia and then will will see Cambodia to become disastrous and polluted by Communist Hanoi masters, CPP Yuon and illegal Vietnamese people living in Cambodia.
He is going to be very sorry and then he will commit suicide later.
This is what war is about Mr. Prayuth Chan-Ocha!!!
From reading all your comments, I feel that we're have mixing feeling about both Cambodia and Thai leaders on a long journey of playing this game. It's more like they are playing a political game to fool their people and the world community. However, whether they are playing a political game or not, this violent military confrontation must be stopped. They should not play their game with innocent citizens' lives. ASEAN and UN must do something to stop them at once. Also, ASEAN and UN must treat both sides fairly because I do understand that Thai is having an important role in ASEAN and UN. We, the world community know that ASEAN is yet being treat both sides fairly. Thai seem to have some control on ASEAN decision.
can you say phnom dongrak in khmer! stop that ugly siem accent when talking in khmer, ok! for your information, khmer language has no tonal like siem thugs', really!
