The army has donated 300,000 baht [~$10,000] to Cambodia to provide assistance to families of festival-goers killed and injured in a riverside stampede on Monday night.
Army chief Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha handed the donation to Col Tea Sorachhay, the Cambodian military attache to Thailand on Friday.
The army also offered its condolences to the victims and their families.
Panic spread through a crowd using a bridge to reach an island in the Bassac River in Phnom Penh for the annual festival marking the reversal of the flow of water between Tong Le Sap lake and the Mekhong River, resulting in a stampede which killed 347 people and left hundreds more injured.
