PHNOM PENH, July 16 (Xinhua) -- Thailand has stationed around 200 troops at the border area with Cambodia over a land dispute around the Preah Vihear Temple, according to the provincial authority of Preah Vihear Wednesday.
The Cambodian side insisted that the Thai force entered its territory, while the Thai side denied.
Both forces were in armed situation, the provincial authority said.
Cambodian Information Minister Khieu Kanharith said Tuesday night that 170 troops and Thai civilians crossed into the Cambodian territory, but couldn't say how many civilians were among them.
He denied any tension, but said that Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen ordered the Cambodian troops to withhold firing unless being fired upon first. Negotiation was going on, the minister added.
Earlier Tuesday, three Thai protesters were arrested for jumping an immigration checkpoint to reach the temple. Thai troops then came to fetch them, thus triggering the face off.
"The Thai troops could leave the Cambodian territory only after they signed documents to admit their incursion," local newspapers Wednesday quoted him as saying.
The protesters trespassed the border with intention to reclaim the 11-century classic Khmer-style temple, which the International Court of Justice awarded, together with the land it occupies, to Cambodia in 1962, a decision that rankled the Thais, according to the newspapers.
The temple straddles the Thai-Cambodian border atop the Dangrek Mountain and was listed as a World Heritage Site on July 7 by the UNESCO's World Heritage Committee.

3 thai activists walked into the overlapping area, that stupid khmers said never exist.
a bunch of khmer soldiers fool enough to capture these thai citizens in the overlapping area
and not return them when thai army asked them nicely.
so thai troops entered into the overlapping area, and khmer soldiers get the shit up their heads, afraid that they will be hurt, so they foolishly decided to keep 3 thais as their hostages.
khmer soldiers ain't even on Cambodia soil and acted like a bandit. what a shame to Cambodia and khmers!
we'll keep adding our thai troops until you release our people and apologize for taking them as hostages...
you khmers, always back stab others like snakes
Mr. Hun Sen must sent the troop more this border!!
Hun Sen must spend all cost including diplomacy by calling back our khmer ambassador from Bankok, complaint to ASIAN, UN, ICJ and fighting to protect our land from A Siam thief!! if you do like this, you will become a hero of Cambodia. My vote for you if you follow this idea.
Now our country faces the biggest problem with A Siam thief. Please all khmer people joint with us to make demonstration infront of Thai Embassy to protest this problem!!
Boycott the thai product!!
Down A saim!!
khmer neak snea ha cheat,
What do you know. were you there?
Refrain from commenting on events you know nothing about.
All that hatred in you only increase the mistrust in the thais within the international community.
Soon you also will have a civil war. watch out before you incite hatred.
You Thais need good neighbours, seems like you're running out of friends now, looking for china to back u up? burma and khmer will come to ur door step soon.
Mr. prime minister, now it's the time to mobilize our Cambodian troops for a potential conflict with a whore country.
I hate Ah Siem the rest of my life. You have stolen our Khmer land. You are the thief for centuries. I will boycott all of my vacation to Ah Siem Arch Kri.
You! thai people are trying to make problem. What the fuck you are doing right there to claim something that are not your???
Only you who should say that words to yourself. What a shame on you, Thai people.
Thai is trying to lower down its reputation to the world. They are stealing Cambodia land but trying to fool the world..
That a poor action, you thai people is doing. Wake up!!! Slap your face and your friend face, thai people.
Thai people makes enemy with neighbors country like Cambodia, Myanmar, Malaysia and trying to fool international comunity
Remember United Khmer People,
Don't forget Khmer Isan, Khmer Surin, Khmer Krom, and Koh Tral. Must return back to Mother Land. Vote for me 2033 Thank You
Let's keep cool and keep calm, fellow Cambdians, and Thai brothers.
There is absolutely no point highten this tension. A judgment by a British court in a surrogate mother case may serve as a model solution.
A woman was hired to bear the child of a couple whose wife was not able to do so. They implanted the embryo from the couple in the womb of the hired woman.
When the baby was born the surrogate mother refused to give the baby to the couple. This couple did not use force to get their baby but filed a complaint to a court of law.
That court of law heard the case and, as the surrogate mother was not the natual mother of the baby and had born it on a contract, ordered her to give the baby to its natural parents. However, the court added in the judgment that, since the surrogate mother had a strong sentimental attachment to the baby, ordered the couple to allow her to visit the baby whenever she wanted.
Preah Vihear Temple is like that baby, Thailand like that surrogate mother(althiough it occupied the temple by force)with striong attachment to the temple, and Cambodia those natural parents.
Can we appreciate our Thai bothers' attachment to the temple and welcome them to visit it as much as they wish? And also welcome other visitors going to the temple through the Thai access road.
Let's choose such a high moral ground.
LAO Mong Hay, Hong Kong
Dear Dr. LAO Mong Hay,
Your writting is very meanful, but I dont know weather Siam think in positive way or not.
Soon Bangkok will collapse if the Thai people still continue like this.
I understand your idear Dr. Hay. I am also a Cambodia people who is living in Phnom Penh now.
That is true and really true. That why our beloved ex-king permitted Thai national come to visite the preah vihear temple with out fee when we just won the court at ICJ.
But now it is very different situation. they do not know we are sympathy to them. they turn back, bark and want to bite us. What should we do? I think the best way is to do deplomatically. Call the Thai Ambbassador in Phnom Penh to summon our complain first then tell South East Asian countries and the world organization the situation now.
Dr. Lao, you need to stop calling these hellish Siem creatures as "brothers". They are no brothers of ours. They are THIEVES, and thus they are criminals. Thus, they must be dealt with. They are not the caretaker of our temple of Preah Vihear. For crying out loud, they can't even pronounce the real name of the temple correctly. Remember all the provinces they detached from Mother Cambodia since the 13th century and on to the 18th century. These memories of these hellish Siem creatures must be immortalized in the hearts and minds of all the Cambodian people for many generations to come. How can you even preach laws with them criminal Siems. The only laws they understand is death and hell and blood. So be it.
Thanks Dr. Lao

Do you love Preah Vihear....?
No..No...No...No...No...
-They never want Preah Vihear to became the world heritage as they try to stop...(they don't love the temple but they just want to own temple...do you...? siam by criii)

Thanks to reader....mostly to siam people and tell you relative to know the love story...
MAKE LOVE NOT WAR!
LOVE THAI PUSSY!
Thai troops enter Cambodia in escalation of temple feud
Jonathan Manthorphe, Vancouver Sun
Published: Wednesday, July 16, 2008
Several dozen Thai troops crossed into neighbouring Cambodia on Tuesday as a smouldering dispute over ownership of a 900-year-old temple has been fanned into flames by political turmoil in both countries.
It appears that up to 100 Thai soldiers were detained by Cambodian troops after crossing the border at the site of the Preah Vihear temple.
Cambodian forces have been ordered not to shoot unless fired upon, but one Thai soldier was badly injured by a landmine.

Font:****The Thai troops were part of an effort by local governor Seni Chittakasem to gain the release of three Thais -- a man, a woman and a monk -- who had crossed the border to protest Cambodia's ownership of the 12th-century Hindu temple.
Ownership of Preah Vihear, which was awarded to Cambodia by the World Court in 1962, has been a matter of dispute between the two countries for 100 years.
The issue resurfaced recently because of controversy surrounding the listing of the temple last week by the United Nations as a world heritage site.
In Cambodia, Prime Minister Hun Sen is in the midst of a election campaign to secure a return to the power he first achieved as a surrogate for invading Vietnamese forces in the 1980s.
Hun Sen is never shy about using any weapon that comes to hand to undermine his opponents' campaigns and the Preah Vihear UN listing, together with Thailand's evident discomfiture, have been a great political gift.
But political agitation of the Preah Vihear issue is most potent in Thailand where the government elected in December is floundering under a barrage of street demonstrations, an economy in turmoil, and a re-invigorated parliamentary opposition.
Thailand's foreign minister, Noppadon Pattama, was even forced to resign last week over the Preah Vihear temple issue.
Noppadon quit after the Thai Constitutional Court ruled he acted unconstitutionally when he endorsed Cambodia's application to have the temple registered as a world heritage site by UNESCO.
But Noppadon was also the lawyer for former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who has large business interests in Cambodia. Critics say Noppadon's attempt to support Cambodia's campaign for Preah Vihear's listing by the UN was in reality an effort to protect Thaksin's business interests.
Thaksin was ousted in a military coup in September 2006. The coup was mounted by traditionalists with strong loyalty to Thailand's monarchy who disliked Thaksin's presidential style, which stems from the self-assurance of having built the country's largest corporate conglomerate.
Thaksin and his party were barred from contesting elections when democracy returned last year. However, the election victor, Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej and his People Power Party, are generally held to be fronts for Thaksin.
Although Cambodia's ancient Khmer empire and its glorious temples such as Preah Vihear and the more famous Ankor Wat complex are symbols of Southeast Asian culture, the dominant countries of the region for hundreds of years have been Thailand and Vietnam.
The claim to own Preah Vihear and even Ankor Wat held by many Thais is based on Thailand's overthrow of the Khmer empire six hundred years ago.
Khmer ultra-national
You Siam people..must back to home now....preah vihear is not yours..
from the past untill now preah vihear is the same is located in the land of Cambodia and made by Khmer ancient people...siam didn't have ancient people...you siam is the small group just move from parth of china in the end of 11 cuntury...and this temple is build from the 9 century....please you siam people know the history and don't be silly...
Hi. Siam people...
you siam don't have any document to shpow preah vihear belong to you siam.
We Cambodia have million of documents to show that preah vihear is belong to Cambodia.
Don't try such crazy way as you do now siam people
That's why we Cambodia can win the court at CIJ and newly the UNESCO world heritage also agree.
You siam people please thing that 21 countries in the world meeting in Canada is not crazy. only you siam is crazy. they 21 country is agree...
You siam stop to dream more about preah vihear.
Cambodia must consider double their troop to exceed any Thaicong troop at the borders! Cambodia must have at least 50,000 troops at the border to resist any Thaicong incursion and eventually will have to reach 100,000 troops ready for full battle field!
The Thaicong are begun to play troop number game with Cambodia in trying to intimidate Cambodian officials with their 200 troop! The 200 Thaicong troop station at the border must not be allowed to scare any Cambodian officials! Since the Thaicong have 200 troops and there is no reason why they can't stop any Thaicong protesters from entering Cambodia illegally! And eventually bullet will fly and the blood will flow!
My number one weapons of choice is the use of more landmine, and anti-tank landmine, RPG, rockets and missiles…and machine guns,
Fear no Thaicong!
1:17 PM
let's just say that i have the right information, on which parts of lands are in dispute, which is not.
and I can confirm you that the 3 thais didn't do anything, like your press lied, ie. trying to put the thai flag inside the PVH.
look at the picture itself, they broght nothing with them.
and for those khmers who boasted about love-making, you should have know too well that there're plenty of cheap khmer whore near and inside the thai borders.
i've seen many khmer kids, selling sex for very little amount of money. to my sorry, their parents are the ones who urge them to do so.
that's the problem you have in your country and it spreads to thailand. admit it or not is my problem, the reality is as i told you.
Landmines are good for their minds, if they won't changing their from encroaching in our land.
Next time, we'll have to shoot them.
Mr. Hun Minister, we're humbly and respectfully asking you to authorize our troops to shoot to kill. And please no more hostages or prisoners. Please understand that these Thais are encroaching into our torritorial areas, and we need to do something. Again, we need you to give us a green light to shoot and kill the intruders.
HEY THAI IDIOT.
I LOVE EXPENSIVE THAI WHORES.
MAYBE THEY MAKE YOU PAY BUT THEY LOVE KHMER MEN FOR FREE.
ASK AROUND HERE IN EUROPE OR THE US.
DO YOU THINK THEY GO TO THAILAND FOR THE BEACHES OR THE CULTURE?
NO THE ONLY THING THAT INTEREST THEM ARE THAI CUNTS AND CHILDREN.
FRESH THAI MEAT
Thai meat stink even for free .
Give it to the dogs.
At this time Siamess troop in our Preah Vihear temple. I beg Mr. Hun Sen, Don't be cool like this!! they look down our nation very much!! please ordre our army fight to protect our land. Cool is not the good solution for our country!!
Why you can do only with khmer people????? Why you can not do with our enemy like A siam thief!!!
If you don't have enough army, please call me and all khmer people to joint the army, we are pleasure to be die for our nation, our land.
If you don't have ability, please get off the power. We think we will have many khmer people can give up their life for our nation!!
Please hurry up Mr. Hun Sen, Don't be calm and cool like this! you will become a hero of Cambodia if you react this problem.
Khmer Preah Vihear.
Roum Rith je suggere de prendre le Tonle Sap comme frontiere fluviale entre le THAILANDE ET LE VIETNAM .

all thai (if not A siam)... don't forget that Khmer is your ancestor!!! don't insult your own ancestors.....be a good kid
lol 7:27PM
it's so funny you khmers think you are our ancestor.
if it is true, we thais have every rights to claim that PVH is our property. why you khmers try to steal it from us, even though it's apparently that the access is in thailand.
if it is not true, why khmers love to lie and ask for something that doesn't belong to yours.
to see the real world, why don't you come to thailand, and ask if any of us think khmers are our ancestors? hahaha
6:25 PM
khmers stink even miles away.
my dogs love chasing all the khmer kids away.
Enemeies surrounding Thailand: Laos, Malaysia, Burma and now Cambodia.
Thais are too arrogant, they're being cursed, they're ruled and reigned by the killer Bhumibol from commonner family background named Chakri. Chakri was only a commonner then later became King.
Thais are thieves, jealous with others especially with the Khmers who once Khmer empire. Khmers discovered oil and Thais are dealy jealous with Khmers.
Those who pretended to be Khmer Issan and Khmer Surin etc., it was Thais who created this anymosity causing Khmers to kill Khmers just like ah Youn are doing.
When earthquake strike Bangkok as scientists discovered and Tsunami will come with a speed of 200 miles, million Thais will die from the sins they created upon others.
The killer from a commonner family, Bhumibol sitting on the throne, King Annanda Mahidol soul will haunt and force Bhumibol to admit and apologise for his crimes he committed. Bhumibol, an absolute monarch of a commonner family forced every Thai citizen to bow and crawl below his feets is a murderer, and f* his wife's young sister.
May sufferings fall upon Thailand for its sins. May Thailand be suffered for many thousand years for its absolute evild deeds.
Give us Koh Pors(snake island), we will send troops from Hanoi to help you to pull Thai troops back. hehehe
From Vietnamese commander

Not even if she paid me a million dollars. Not in a million years.
8:37 PM
what is hurt? and who should be hurt?
so far you guys always complaint that khmer girls were raped during the escape from khmer rouge.
i guess the fact should be that some of you, khmers overseas, are the illegal thai soldier offspring.
Ouch! THE TRUTH HURTS DOESNT IT?
DONT BE SO HURT, WE CAN STILL SAY KIND WORDS TO YOU. hahaha
YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH?
I RAPED YOUR MOM. YOU ARE MY ILLEGAL OFFSPRING.
YOU ARE MY BASTARD. LUCKY YOU.
You idiot Asian people need to get a real life, and stop being stupid.
Planting landmines?
Because of its suffering from landmines (thousands of Cambodian citizens, young and old, men and women, have lost their lives and limbs because of landmines), Cambdia was among the first few countries to call for a ban on landmines.
I represented Cambodia in a senior government officials' meeting in Geneva in 1995 to gather ideas to draft a international ban landmine treaty.
Cambodia was then among the first countries to sign this treaty when it was adopted. We would breach this treaty if the landmine that hurt that Thai national had been planted by our soldiers. Donor countries could suspend or cease their aid altogether to CMAC (Cambodian mine clearance organisation)for this breach.
NO MORE LANDMINES, PLEASE. THEY ARE A HORRIBLE WEAPON.
LAO Mong Hay, Hong Kong
Hey 9:08
Give me break guy. We're having fun.
HALF of Khmers has no legs, lost their organs or even died because of landmines. STILL, the new generation of khmers wants to plant more landmines.
WHAT A STUPID KHMER YOU ARE?
VERY LUCKY FOR KHMER PEOPLE.
you act no different to POL POT, very cruel but you're far lot dumber.
it's so pity that khmer can only think of landmines as a last resort.
No wonder your nation is full of handicapped.
A real khmer indeed I salute you.
hahahah
You want to plant flowers? ;,/§;:!
To 9:34PM
Hey Thaicong mother fucker! In the art of war and it is necessary to use every available weapon to kill the enemies!
The Thaicong soldiers think that when they walk into Cambodia and it is like walking to the park for a picnic? Ahhahhahha
The war hasn’t started yet and the Thaicong have suffered casualties already! Now just imagine when these Thaicong soldiers enter Cambodia and their blood will flow like a river!
Fear no Thaicong!
Let's take the first shot!
You fucking Thai retarded shit asshole.
Fuck your country and your gay king, asshole.
again, 9:57PM
we already fucked your mom or sis years ago, as you always complaint and ranted about it.
so,c'mon,illegal khmer offsprings, stop acting like the ungrateful child to you daddy's country.
I am not Cambodian nor Thai.
But, during my graduate study, I used to have many friends from South East Asia such as Laos , Cambodia, Myanmar, etc. I talked to them and it seemed none of them like Thais. They told me a lot how and why they dislike Thais.
Well, i dont know if it is true!
But I just observe that Thai people are too arrogant and despise their poorer neighbors.
I suggest Thai people change their mindset. Building a good relation with neighboring friends is important in this era. Creating tensions with neighbors surely
ends up in misery within their own nation.
Look at wealthy Japan tries to build good relations with China, Korea, etc.
Concerning this Preah Vihear case, Thais should respect international community decisions and solve the matter peacefully.
May the peace be with you all.
Yes, my Cambodian friend also fucked your mom, like it? 1:01AM
You're full of shit.
