Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has ordered the release of three Thais being detained in Siem Reap after they were arrested for entering Cambodia illegally.

The villagers are expected to return to Thailand within days. They are just awaiting some paperwork to clear before they are released without charges, Chavanond Intarakomalyasut, secretary to the foreign minister, said yesterday.

The decision came after Surin governor Raphee Phongbuphakit contacted his counterpart in Siem Reap to seek the release of the villagers: Sanong Wongcharoen, Lim Puangpet and Lan Sapsri.
