Sources from Preah Vihear said that at about 9 am on 14th May, about 25 Thai soldiers had entered Cambodian territories at Chak Chreng area north west of Ta Sem Pass in between Kor Eight area and Preah Vihear temple, reports Deum Ampil newspaper.

Gen. Srey Doek, commander of the Preah Vihear precinct, had ordered his troops to meet with those Thai troops, but after the talks those Thai troops refused to withdraw by saying that they will have ask permission from their superiors before they can withdraw because their map put the area in Thai territories.

According to Deum Ampil, Gen. Srey Doek had ordered his troops to tell those Thai soldiers that they are given three days to withdraw. If they refused the Cambodian side will send the Cambodian troops to the area by bringing the maps agreed in the Franco-Siamese Treaty in 1904-1908 which were recognised by the International Court of Justice in 1962.

According to the same source, at 11.30 am on the same day, there were 2 Thai jetfighters flying in reconnaissances over the areas where the 25 Thai troops had entered, says Deum Ampil.
