The French family and a tour guide were found and also have met with the minister of ministry of tourism who had come all the way from Phnom Penh, plus they were transferred by a helicopter to a nearby hospital. They were provided water and food immediately after they were found.

This is what they said. «ខ្ញុំសប្បាយរីករាយណាស់, ខ្ញុំមិននឹកស្មានថាប្រជាពលរដ្ឋខ្មែរ និងអាជ្ញាធរកម្ពុជា ស្រឡាញ់ពួកខ្ញុំដល់ថ្នាក់ហ្នឹង! ខ្ញុំសូមអរគុណដល់នាយករដ្ឋមន្រ្តី ហ៊ុន សែន និងប្រជាពលរដ្ឋកម្ពុជា ដែលបានយកចិត្តទុកដាក់នឹងថែទាំពួកខ្ញុំ, ខ្ញុំនឹងសរសេររឿងរ៉ាវនូវ អនុស្សាវរីយ៍នេះឲ្យពិភពលោកបានដឹងពីកម្ពុជា»។

" I am happy. I didn't expect that Cambodians and the local authorities love me this much. I would like to thank to prime minister HE and Cambodians for taking care of us. I will write this story and memories to let the world know Cambodia".

Two Helicopters, 200 People Dispatched for French Family
by Aun Pheap | August 15, 2016

Two helicopters and a 200-strong force of officials, police and soldiers were dispatched into the forests of Kbal Spean mountain in Siem Reap province on Saturday morning in search of a French family that was stranded overnight after convincing their tour guide to follow their lead.

After visiting temples in Angkor Archaeological Park on Friday morning, the family of four embarked with their guide on a hike to see the ancient carvings in the forest’s riverbeds but became lost as they attempted to find their way back to their hotel, said provincial police chief Sort Nady.
