There is no gain or no loss for any party here so far. The orders simply are temporary measures pending the ICJ resolution/decision of Cambodia's application for Interpretation.
The fact that ICJ ruled that it has the necessary jurisdiction/competence to ascertain Cambodia's Application for provisional measures/ injunctions, is a great win for Cambodia. This ruling is unprecedented. I would not have been surprised if the Court ruled otherwise, i.e. accepting Thai's sumbission that ICJ has no competence to accept and decide Cambodia's Application after over 50 years later of the decision (1962).
In term of the demilitarised zone coverage, the zone covers more Thai territory than Khmer's, a bit more, about 1 km from the boundary line (to the north) as depicted on the 1908 (Dangrek Section) map.
See attached maps for reference. Please note the 1st Page of this document is the Secret Map drawn and used by the Thai Govt in 2007 for submission to UNESCO for PV as World Heritage.

siem's illegal map! only the 1907 map is internationally recognized by cambodia, you know! i hope icj will order siem thugs to stop violating the international law on 1907 treaty and map from that treaty.
The maps shows the thai are crooks.
Map or no map is irrelevant. You'd better keep in mind this is only a pause before the next storm.
Khmer people, be prepared to take back our land East and West.
Dear Everyone!
I agree. That is a big win that the ICJ upholds the Cambodian Application.
Another win, though, is that the innocent peoples of both countries are the real winners as nothing can interfere and threaten their lives now. All the while, politicians at both sides were the winners on the suffering of the people living near the border.
By the way, remember So Mara's incident? The guy whose mistress was acid-attached by his cruel wife? That guy initiated every bad thing that has been happening. He signed a controversial agreement allowing the Thais to manage the Temple's tourism activities and was thereafter removed from his post at the Ministry of Tourism. I really doubt that he did this traitorous thing without a green light from the heir-apparent Sok An. Surprisingly, however, he was then promoted to a more powerful role rather than punished.
Another person of notice is Chea Sophara. Because he did something that affected political gains of both sides (by constructing a road access to Preah Vihear Temple), he was removed from his governorship at the time. He was ordered to hold an advisory position and a diplomatic position (Ambassador to Myanmar), but he bravely refused.

i think once the court look at the legal map from 1907 and the siem thugs' unilateral illegal map, by law, the court will make their decision in favor of cambodia already because this is evident that siem steal from cambodia by creating their unilateral map without despite the legal map already in existence since 1907, you know! the law is on khmer side, don't worry cambodia. keep on educating the world about cambodia, ok!
another piece of concrete evidence for the court here!
Just look at the world map today, where the line is drawn that is it. who cares about all the fake line that comes after that. which part is thai, viet or khmer all is there to see, so no need to cover up with all these fake one etc
