A senior Cambodian border official asserts that even unofficial maps produced by Thailand demonstrate the Khnar Temple is situated within Cambodian territory. The temple, located in Oddar Meanchey province, has been under Thai military occupation since December of last year. The official’s statement challenges Thailand’s claims regarding the temple’s location and justifies Cambodia’s position in the ongoing border dispute. This revelation suggests Thailand’s own documentation contradicts its current actions. The unilateral nature of the Thai maps—meaning they were drawn without Cambodian consultation—further underscores the contentious situation. The official believes this evidence strengthens Cambodia’s case for the temple’s return. The continued occupation remains a point of significant tension between the two nations.
