The market located at the staircase of the Preah Vihear temple destroyed by Thai rockets during the armed clashed on 3rd April 2009 will be opened for business in the next three days after shop-owners have selected their shops.
Authority says the plan was to complete the 146 shops and stalls as soon as can be done which are vital to the livelihood of the 319 families living in and making a living from the market before it was destroyed by Thai shells.
The market was expected to be opened for business after 3rd September, after shop-owners have selected their shops. Each shop and stall will cost between $300-$400 to purchase. The authority will also allow shop- and stall-owners to build their own shops/stalls if they don't want to buy the ones built for them by the authority.
The authority says the new shops and stalls are much better than the old ones which they hope will attract more tourists.
The Cambodian government accused Thai troops of deliberately attacking the market during the brief armed clashes on 3rd April 2009 which completely destroyed the market and displaced 319 families living in the vicinity of the market. The Cambodian government lodged a $2.1 million compensation claim with the Thai government, but the compensation claim was rejected.
