Cambodia accuses Thailand of registering occupied temples to bolster border claims
Cambodia’s Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts has strongly condemned Thailand’s decision to register several ancient temples along the Cambodia–Thailand border as Thai national monuments, accusing Bangkok of attempting to create a false legal basis for territorial claims over Cambodian sovereign territory.

"Ownership cannot be established while a prior claim remains contested. To seize property by force is not an act of possession, but a blatant act of theft."

Merci au Premier ministre cambodgien @Dr_Hunmanet_PM pour sa participation au One Health Summit hier à Lyon et pour nos échanges aujourd’hui à Paris.
Entre le Cambodge et la France, notre histoire est profonde et se renforce dans les domaines de l’énergie, la santé ou encore du patrimoine.
Par la Francophonie, aussi, nous poursuivons notre route : après le Sommet de Villers-Cotterêts en 2024, le prochain rendez-vous est fixé à Phnom Penh où j’aurai le plaisir de me rendre en novembre. Une occasion supplémentaire de renforcer plus encore les liens qui nous unissent.
On April 1, 2026, renowned Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie visited Samlot High School in Battambang Province, Cambodia.
She received a warm welcome during her visit, which aimed to observe students’ learning conditions and the progress of the school’s dormitory facilities.
🦇 Cambodia has a real-life “Batman cave” — and it’s wild
Every evening at sunset, hundreds of thousands of bats pour out of a cave on Phnom Sampeau hill, forming a dense, river-like stream in the sky.
That’s why people call it the “Batman cave.”
The bats fly десятки kilometers and devour huge amounts of insects overnight — including pests that damage rice fields.
So it’s both a surreal show and a natural pest control system.
