Cleaning up the border

It seems the village at the foot of the Preah Vihear cliff will soon be relocated. To make way for a tourism complex when the row with Thailand about the border will be settled and now that it takes only 6 or 7 hours on good roads to get there from Phnom Penh or three from Siem Reap?

CAMBODIA. Sra Em (Preah Vihear). 18/11/2009: Small village at the foot ot the Preah Vihear cliff, it became prosperous with the Angkorian temple becoming UNESCO World Heritage, the border dispute with Thailand and the subsequent influx of tourists and soldiers. The inhabitants will soon be relocated, probably to make way for a tourism complex.
