Bangkok - The Thai-Cambodia border situation was improving but it remains too early for people who were evacuated from the area to return home, the Thai prime minister said on Sunday.

If there are no more clashes over the next couple days, people can begin returning to their homes, Abhisit Vejjajiva said on his weekly Sunday address.

Thai officials said more than 30,000 civilians had to flee.

The most recent clash ended Saturday morning and left 10 Thai soldiers wounded, the Thai army said. That was the second breach of a ceasefire agreed to by local field commanders and then approved by their superiors on Thursday.
