Phsar Krom Market located at the staircase of the Preah Vihear temple which was destroyed by Thai shells during the armed clashes on the 3rd of April is being rebuilt under the order of Prime Minister Hun Sen.

Cambodian troops began transporting building material and timbers to the site, but Mr. Sor Thavy, Governor of Preah Vihear province, admitted that he does not know when the construction will be completed because this is a rainy season. A few weeks ago Prime Minister ordered that the market construction must be completed within one week.

Mr. Ros Heng, Governor of Choam Ksan District where the market is located, said the construction of the market will boost tourism to the temple when the border disputes with Thailand eased.

Mr. Hang Soth, director of the Preah Vihear Authorty, said the market will be rebuilt by using timbers, corrugated iron and thatches.
