STORY: Thousands of Cambodians in Thailand were seen gathering in front of the border gate in Chanthaburi Province on Monday (July 28) morning, as they continued to cross back into their home country amid an ongoing border clash between the two nations.

Tensions between Thailand and Cambodia have intensified since the killing in late May of a Cambodian soldier during a brief border skirmish. Border troops on both sides were reinforced amid a full-blown diplomatic crisis that brought Thailand's fragile coalition government to the brink of collapse.

The latest hostilities broke out last Thursday (July 24) and have escalated into the worst fighting between the Southeast Asian neighbours in more than a decade. The death toll has risen above 30, including more than 20 civilians, while authorities report that more than 200,000 people have been evacuated from border areas.

Leaders of the two countries are scheduled to hold ceasefire talks in Malaysia later on Monday.
