The governor of Si Sa Ket province says he plans to approach his Cambodian counterpart for talks on reopening the Preah Vihear temple site to tourists, a Thai news report said.
Governor Somsak Suwansucharit said he plans to discuss the matter with the governor of Cambodia's adjoining Preah Vihear province, which encompasses the ancient ruins, the report said.
The only normal tourist access is through Thailand.
Since July 23, Si Sa Ket provincial authorities have allowed tourists to visit the Pha Mor I Daeng cliff, close to the Preah Vihear temple, and Thai tourists are arriving at the cliff observation point to admire the carvings there as well as the twin pagodas on Khao Phra Viharn mountain, he said.
The attractions had been closed for over five months becausder of the border clashes between Thai and Cambodian troops.
Visitors can enter the cliff area, which is part of the Khao Phra Viharn National Park, free of charge for the time being. Their presence is under heavy protection by Thai soldiers.
Visitors must leave their ID cards at the gate of the national park. Motorists must park their vehicles, including motorcycles, at the entrance of the park.
Administrators of Kantharalak district, which directly connects with the disputed area, had talks with officials of the Khao Phra Viharn National Park on Monday afternoon about measures to supervise local operators and attract more visitors to the Pha Mor I Daeng cliff.

The only normal access is from Thailand??? This is Thailand mouth piece... I say don't deal with them. Show them how we can achieve without Thailand... I have had enough of their smart ass...
If Khmer really care about Preah Vihear temple and really want to avoid future conflict with Thailand and especially for Khmer future generation, they have to cut off and sacrifice this tourist access and income from the Thai side at all cost. They have to build wall, seal it off, or do something. Khmer King Sihanouk should've done this when they won in 1962. Otherwise, Thai people will still think its their or overlapped zone. Why can't Khmer leaders stop being selfish and start to build something like this. After they achieve this, then concentrate on building bridge or car cable to bring people up to temple.
At last, some people are starting to talk sense.

siem have to accept the law, like it or not, ok! good that tourists are coming back, however cambodia must put in place a good management system ov collect revenues, developments in the area, etc so the money can go back to social development and keeping of the temples, etc, ok! no more isolation on the khmer side of the border, ok!
Koh Tral Island must not be forgotten
By Ms. Rattana Keo
Why do Koh Tral Island, known in Vietnam as Phu Quoc, a sea and land area covering proximately over 30,000 km2 [Note: the actual land size of Koh Tral itself is 574 square kilometres (222 sq miles)] have been lost to Vietnam by whose treaty? Why don’t Cambodia government be transparent and explain to Cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?
Cambodian armies are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 on the Thai border and what's about over 30,000km2 of Cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian armies you are decide the fate of your nation, Cambodian army as well as Cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?
Koh Tral Island, the sea and land area of over 30,000 square kilometres have been lost to Vietnam by the 1979 to 1985 treaties. The Cambodian army at front line as well as all Cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are Cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protecting a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group but disguising as protecting the Khmer nation?
The Cambodian army at front lines suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition and their families have no health care assistance, no securities after they died but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning system with message from young girls, have first class medical care from oversea medical treatments, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make the Cambodian people suffer everyday.
Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that resulted in the loss over 30,000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why they are not being transparent and brave enough to inform all Cambodians and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't they include Koh Tral (Koh Tral size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen and bigger than Singapore [Note: Singapore's present land size is 704 km2 (271.8 sq mi)]) with heap of great natural resources, in the Cambodian education system?
Look at Hun Sen's families, relatives and friends- they are billionaires, millionaires. Where did they get the money from when we all just got out of war with empty hands [in 1979]? Hun Sen always say in his speeches that Cambodia had just risen up from the ashes of war, just got up from Year Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% of innocent Cambodian people are so poor and struggling with their livelihood every day?
Smart Khmer girl, President Ms. Rattana Keo, (I like it in the ass)
I totally agreed with 10:11 and 10:34. We must do whatever it takes to keep separation from Thailand so they must not confused with this Cambodia's land again. Bridge would be right fit the area of the temple and restore ancient stair case so people and the ancient path as if they are in that time and gardens of course in its proximity...
Khmer Kings did not build this temple for Thailand!!!
of course, thailand did not built the temple, ok! so, stop stealing from cambodia, ok!
