BANGKOK, Feb. 5 (Xinhua) -- More than 5,150 villagers residing near the Phu Ma Khua military base west of Preah Vihear temple were evacuated after military clash between Thailand and Cambodia erupted Friday afternoon, Thai TV station Channel 9 reported Saturday.

Thailand's eastern Si Sa Ket province bordering Cambodia has provided temporary shelters for the evacuees.

The report said that the province will provide 30,000 baht (976 U.S. dollars) for the owners of home damaged by the artillery shelling and 50,000 baht (1,627 U.S. dollars) for the family of the dead.

Meanwhile, at Kantharalak district, another spot that one soldier was killed and the other 4 were wounded in a fresh clash early Saturday morning, about 3,605 villagers have already been evacuated. Provincial officers are providing dry food and temporary shelters to the villagers affected by Saturday morning's attacks.

Thailand and Cambodia first started artillery shelling and shooting on Friday afternoon around the disputed border areas near the Preah Vihear temple, the latest flare-up in an ancient row over the controversial land plot adjacent to the 900-year-old Preah Vihear temple.

I don't believe this report for many reasons:
1. Thailand call for Cambodia to negotiate first.
2. Cambodia arrest more Thai soldiers when Thai soldiers have never arrested Cambodians. (Assume, Thai soldier arrested and killed Cambodians on spot. Maybe the 5 Thais captured by Cambodia were later killed too, but they were freed in a health faces).
3. The Red House was burned out, but no any media in Thailand reported about it.
4. Why more than ten thousand of Thai flee, if Cambodian soldiers are just a potato chip?
5. In Cambodian's routine (as I always see), when there are soldiers died, Cambodians will raise fund through media, broadcasting network, newspaper, ..etc. But, now, it's so quiet. Why those TVs have never so far call for funds to support the family of dead soldiers?
.............
Over all, I might analyze just wrongly. But, Hehe not stupid enough -:D
