Cambodian border military officials said border gate to Preah Vihear temple will be opened on 5th December, after diplomatic relations between the two countries had improved.
Border crossing and gate to Preah Vihear temple had been closed after Thai troops invaded the temple surrounding areas on 15th July 2008, a week after Unesco inscribed Preah Vihear temple as a world heritage site.
The same military official said Cambodia agreed to re-open the border crossing because the bilateral relations between the two countries had improved and after Thailand had agreed to redeploy troops in the areas by cutting troop number in the occupied Wat Keo Sekha Kirisvarak pagoda to the most minimum number.
Before the Thai occupation in 2008, Preah Vihear temple can only be accessed from the Thai side of the border. However, after the occupation, the Cambodian government had built roads and now the temple can be accessed from the Cambodian side also.
The re-opening of the border crossing at Preah Vihear temple came after Cambodia had reached an agreement with Thailand to exempt visas for tourists who visit either countries for less than 14 days. The visa exemption will start from 16th December.
