Phnom Penh Post - In Brief: Thailand delays artefacts' return
The
return of seven Angkorian artefacts from Thailand has been delayed by
unrest in Bangkok, Culture Ministry Secretary of State Chuch Phoeun
said Monday. The artefacts, which were seized by Thai authorities after

return the artefacts," Chuch Phoeun said.
