Cambodian and Thai troops have on 27th April engaged in chest-pushing at Ta Krabey temple located in Thmor Daun village, Kork Morn commune in Banteay Ampil in Oddar Meanchey after news that a group of Thai ultra-nationalists, led by the firebrand Veera Somkwamkid, plans to travel to uproot the border post near Ta Krabey temple from 2-3 May, reports Cambodian Express News.
A Cambodian military source from Battalion 42 based at Ta Krabey temple said the chest-pushing happened when nine heavily-armed members of the black-clad Thai Royal Guards from Company 2606 based at Phnom Dangrek district in Surin province had attempted to cross into Cambodian territory. The Cambodian troops based at a hill nearby tried to stop them from entering Cambodian territory and both sides started to push each others' chests with their hands and chests to chests. However, armed clash was averted when commanders from both sides met and reached an agreement.
But, at 11:30 am on 28th, a group of 20 Thai Royal Guards from the same Company 2606 came to threaten Cambodian troops based at border pillar number 22A in Thmey Daun village, Kork Morn commune, Banteay Ampil district in Oddar Meanchey province. However, those Thai troops withdrew after Cambodian troops, who had taken up positions around the areas, issued a stern warning that they will launch an attack if those Thai troops do not withdraw.
Other reports said that Thai jets had flown in reconnaissance over borders in Oddar Meanchey province in Thmor Daun and Choup Ongkounh villages and over Ta Krabey temple. As for the tracks at Thmor Daun, Choup Ongkounh and Ta Krabey temple where Cambodian troops used to patrol have been occupied by Thai troops and they would not allow Cambodian troops to pass through like what they used to do in the past. Thai troops had also constructed a wooden military camp with corrugated iron-roofing at Ongkounh village.
On 16th April, the Thai-lauguage Matichon newspaper reported that a group of Thai ultra-nationalist, led by the firebrand Veera Somkwamkid, will march to Ta Krabey temple and uproot the border posts which were planted temporarily by a mixed Cambodian and Thai border officials awaiting the discovery of the original border pillar number 23 planted by Franco-Siamese Border Commission in 1907 which currently went missing.
