A young boy plays on a rusty old artillery gun outside the ancient ruins of Preah Vihear, a long-disputed temple on the Thai-Cambodian border May 30,2006. The Hindu influenced temple, which is only easily accessible only from Thailand where it is known as Khao Phra Wihan, is a sacred site for tourists from both countries, attracting some 10,000 visitors a year.The temple, located on a rocky escarpment that marks the Thai-Cambodian border, was once used as a base by Khmer Rouge rebels until their surrender to government forces in the late 1990s. The temple was given to Cambodia in 1962 by the International Court of Justice. But the land around the temple complex has been in dispute since then. REUTERS/Sukree Sukplang
