Three Thai nationals are still under detention in Siem Reap because Prime Minister Hun Sen's instruction to release them remains unclear.
The three Surin residents - Sanong Wongcharoen, Rim Phuangphet and Rain Sabdee - were arrested last week while hunting for food in the forested area along the Thai-Cambodian border.
Surin Governor Raphee Pongbuppakit said on Tuesday that Hun Sen had ordered the prisoners' release now that diplomatic relations have been normalised.
However, the Foreign Ministry's deputy spokesman Thani Thongpakdi said on a radio programme yesterday that the three were still in Siem Reap prison, because their case had not yet been put through the court. He added that Thai authorities were working to get them released.
