BANGKOK, July 19 (Xinhua) -- Thailand's Supreme Commander of Royal Thai Armed Forces Boonsrang Niumpraditt Saturday expressed confidence that Thai and Cambodian troops would not clash although the troops have been built up along the disputed border line near Preah Vihear temple.
Speaking on a Bangkok radio station, Boonsrang said there will definitely be no violence.
Boonsrang said the Thai military will not employ violence to solve this problem. Instead, the military would use peaceful means in solving the border crisis.
He said the deployment of troops along the border would not affect the scheduled meeting of the Thai-Cambodian General Border Committee on Monday either.
Boonsrang has been assigned by Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej to lead the Thai delegation to Monday's meeting of the Thai-Cambodian General Border Committee at Sa Kaeo on the Thai-Cambodian border to discuss issues concerning the Preah Vihear temple situation with Cambodia.
Both countries have claimed sovereignty over a 4.6 square kilometers area adjacent to the temple, which the International Court of Justice awarded, together with the land it occupies, to Cambodia in 1962. The decision has rankled the Thais ever since.
The security situation around the temple deteriorated after three Thais were briefly detained by Cambodian soldiers after surreptitiously crossing into the disputed border area on Tuesday. The three people were released on the same day.
According to reports, both Thailand and Cambodia have reinforced their troops at and near Preah Vihear Temple, which 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.

Tell me what so Supreme about AH Boonsang Niempradit? Can this motherfucker walk on water? Can this motherfucker fly in the air? Can this motherfucker take the bullet in the head? Of course not!
Khmer leaders need to stay put because there is nothing to negotiate with the Thaicong on Khmer sovereignty! If these fucken Thaicong can get their fucken arse onto Khmer land and they can certainly move their fucken arse out of Khmer land! It is simple as that!
Tell AH Boonsang Niempradit that he is looking at the wrong map and tell him to get his wanted to be hero Thaicong soldiers to get the fuck out! Otherwise Cambodia will have to open a new border conflict like the North Korean way(not the Burmese way)!
Fear no Thaicong!
Supreme Baboon is talking like the whole world is not aware of the Siam hypocrisy.
This Boosrang will try to fool Cambodia again with with their dishonest scheme.
Be careful Cambodia we want the Siam troop out of Cambodia with no conditions at all.
If they don't agree we will ask for the ICJ to act through the UN to force them out of our territory.
Down, Ah Greedy Monkey from Cambodia!
look, thailand's military will say whatever they want to try to convince the UN to believe them. but seeing is believing. obviously, their troops is already in cambodian territory in accordance to the 1904 - 1907 treaty and the icj verdict. this is in real violation of the international law! cambodia will demand the UN to get involved in mediation or telling thailand to get out of cambodian territory in accordance to the franco-siamese treaty of 1904 - 1907 and the icj verdict of 1962. thailand has no right to invade cambodia. this is an invasion of cambodia by thailand, believe or not, in accordance to the above treaty and the icj verdict.
