The Ministry of Culture has condemned the Thai military for damaging Ta Krabei temple, one of Cambodia’s sacred heritage sites. The images are hard to look at. Ta Krabei is part of the cultural legacy our ancestors left behind, and seeing it struck like this shows a clear disregard for our shared heritage.

Preah Vihear Temple, long inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, must never be targeted in armed conflict. Any attack on it constitutes a serious violation of international law and the ethical principles governing warfare.

It is truly heartbreaking when we see the precious heritage of ancient Hindu Khmer temple is destroyed by Thailand. This sacred heritage belong to all humanity. Thailand think that it is not belong to them. I reached temple a year ago. Visit my video. https://t.co/t0jOfmZECu
Citizens resisted and used sticks to drive away the Siamese soldiers who continued encroaching to seize Cambodian citizens’ land in Ou Bei Choan commune, Ou Chrov district. We appeal to the international community and the ASEAN Chair to help stop the Siamese soldiers in this case.

Despite repeated commitments to ceasefire, Thailand continues to violate its own promises. After initially agreeing to halt attacks following discussions with the Malaysian Prime Minister on 24th July 2025, Thailand resumed firing. Last night, 26th July, even after reaching another ceasefire agreement with U.S. President Donald Trump, the Thai military launched heavy weapon attacks on Cambodian territory. Moreover, Thailand is breaching its agreement with the United States, the very supplier of its weapons, by using these arms under false pretenses and in inappropriate conditions.
There are two possible explanations for this ongoing breach. First, Thailand’s domestic politics may be in chaos, with the government and military operating on conflicting agendas. The military could be acting independently, attempting to boost its image by disregarding the government’s orders. Second, this may be a calculated tactic designed to shield Thailand from international condemnation. By shifting blame onto its military, the government maintains plausible deniability while still pursuing its territorial ambitions.
As Cambodia’s Prime Minister Samdech Hun Manet has repeatedly stressed, Thailand must first identify who truly holds the authority to negotiate and make decisions before any meaningful peace can be achieved.
