A Cambodian official told CEN on Saturday 2nd April that Cambodian authority had prohibited Thai authority from constructing a customs and tax office at a location near border No. 36 at Thailand's Taphraya district opposite Cambodia's Boeng Trokuon village, telling them to wait until the border demarcations in the area are completed first.
Mr. Nu York, chief of Boeng Trokuon Checkpoint, said if Thai authority still go ahead with the construction while border demarcations have not been completed yet, there will be armed confrontation.
Mr. Prak Sam, police chief of Boeng Trokuon, said a forced planting of the border post in the area is unavoidable if Thai authority does not want to compromise and wait for the completion of the demarcations in the area. He said on Friday, 1st April, that Thai officials came to inform Cambodian officials at Boeng Trokuon Checkpoint that Thai authority had sent workers and construction equipment to the area already and said that they will start constructing Thai customs and police offices at the location from Saturday, 2nd April. However, the Thai plan has been shelved for the last 3 days.
On Saturday morning, Mr. Im Phorn Sophal, Deputy Governor of Cambodia's Banteay Meanchey province and Mr. Sanit Naksouksri, governor of Thailand's Sakeo province, have met to discuss about the issue but both sides did not reach any agreement, just made reports to their higher authority to make the decision on the matter. The Thai side begged the Cambodian side to agree to their construction plan, saying that the Thai government had allocated the funds and that they had given them until September 2011 to complete the construction or the funds will be returned to the national budget.
In a letter dated 11th March 2011 to Mr. Sanith Naksouksri, the Cambodian Border Commission stated that the location of border post No. 36 is still in dispute, so Thai authority must not construct anything in the areas until the border demarcations have been completed.
Cambodian Border Commission claimed that many border posts had been moved deep inside Cambodian territories because Cambodia's borders had not been manned properly due a protracted civil war from the 1970s to the 1990s.

Go ahead, Siam! You're so greedy to realize your country is a sin country now. You don't spend much effort dealing with disastrous flood. You just want to steal more land from Cambodia.
Cambodian government must be firm or Thailand will chip away Cambodian territory bit by bit. Thailand has no shame, they took advance to encroach on our lands when we were busy fighting the Viet invaders in the 1980s.
I used to remembered Phnom Chhat was(khmer rouge military base), Chum rum kok kjoong, Chum rum rea hue, Chum rum thmey, all khmer serey ka soldiers staying there...But now Thai soldier occupy the area...though?
5:55 AM, you are right. Most of the military camps of the Cambodian resistance fighters in the 1980s are now occupied and taken over by Thai troops. The camps were in Khmer territory. Kork Tyuong is now called Kok Soong in Thai and a Thai village is established there. Nong Chan is now also become a Thai village. Chumrum Thmey, Chumrum Chas etc, are also occupied by Thai troops and became Thai villages now.
