Phnom Penh - Cambodian border officials Monday accused Thailand of disregarding agreements to move back from three border temples in northern Oddar Meanchey province, but said they would not act until after bilateral ministerial talks in a week.
After negotiations Tuesday, Thai troops agreed to pull back from the Ta Moan group of temples, but moved back into the area Saturday, said a senior border official who asked not to be named.
'We have held four rounds of negotiations with the Thais and they just don't respect any agreement,' the official said. 'They have not built a barricade at the temple - that has been there for a long time - but they are making it bigger.'
However, he said Cambodia refused to react until after talks between the nations' foreign ministers scheduled for August 18.
'We will not be drawn,' he said. 'We await the orders of Prime Minister Hun Sen and he has ordered peaceful negotiation.'
The English-language Cambodia Daily quoted provincial governor Pich Sokkin as saying about 20 Thai troops were now at the temples, with 70 more stationed nearby, and said they were fortifying barricades.
Thailand moved troops into the disputed border area on July 28, further worsening relations over a spat concerning the Preah Vihear temple, which was recently listed as a World Heritage site, about 150 kilometres east of Ta Moan.
Preah Vihear's listing by UNESCO on July 7 came despite protests by Thailand, which complained the surrounding border area remained in dispute and Thai troops moved in not long after. Later that month the spat spread to Ta Moan.
Cambodia has repeatedly said it has proof that the Ta Moan group of temples are sovereign territory but has stressed it seeks a peaceful resolution to the dispute.

Thais, please go back to your Nanchao and do research of your Tai root and create your own Tai background and proud of your own Tai. Stop stealing Khmer creations, Khmer lands and claimed as your own Thais.
You are using Khmer letters, Khmer vowels and Khmer numerals as your Thai official language in Thailand; you never give credit to Khmers as the creator, but to destroy Khmers who helped you from the Mongol killing.

Stupidly people!!
Who came from Nan Chao? Your historical knowledge is very poor.
Besides, we use the Tai-Kadai root langauge, not Mon-Khmear
Look at your palace, it copy from Bangkok's palace!!!
Soooo stupid.
With the similar Culture tradition, and civilisation, Khmers almost forgot the past issues with Siams e.g wars invasion etc..we loved siams.. as we had many reminders in the past 3 decades of civil wars, some khmers as refugees are camped in thai territory prior to fleeing to 3rd countries, thais had some support to cambodia to restore the country after the wars and internal turmoil....
But sine July 15th, Siams obviously have waken up all khmers to remeber the historic tragedies occured ......and nationalistic Moral;
war is unavoidable "the must.." patience/peaceful means are limited..
No one can stand quietly to watch the Siam & (perhaps) Khmer current leaders to play like this.......
Patience is always limited only Buddha or M. Ghandi who are always..always patient with their ennemies.....

Poor Khmer soldiers. No shoes no money eat like animals. How come sdach dek chhork hun sen don't see or talk about? Why his government try to raise the money from all Khmers people why not his cabinet take a good care of poors Khmer's army? Widraw all of your corruption money and provide to the troops. So shame as Khmer citizen. Don't you see siamese's soldiers? Eat good sleep good dress up nice with the best armunitions. Of course we are Khmer people who love our troop but we can only do so much to help.
Sdach dek chhork you must take a good care of our troops that is your responsibility also it is your first priority to act. You must not act bad thing to your own people. Who will praise you if you only know how to kill you own nation? Hope you change for your own sake.

How long it does it stand ??
It is a shame !!!!
The fucken Thaicong are using the diplomacy of speaking softly and carrying big stick! And I can’t believe that AH HUN SEN mother fucker falls for this fucken Thaicong diplomacy piece of shit!
I say if the fucken bilateral talk between Cambodia-Thailame fail and Cambodia should go to war to reclaim what belong to Cambodia and drag these fucken Thaicong mother fucker to hell! I would rather see Malaysia, Myanmar, and Lao advance economically than the fucken Thailame!
My beloved Khmers!
According to the Khmers' soldiers complaining, " This is not Khmer-Siam war, because we Khmer see the enemies standing, chatting, drinking, and eating in front of us, we cannot shoot them. Therefore, this is a PoliSickal War!"
Hi 8:55AM. You are not scholar, and also Khmer Empire existed long before the ethnic Thais came. The real Thais migrated from Black River and million of them are still living in North Vietnam. Do more search so we all can learn who we are.
8:55AM good try popy, you must obey your laok KRU THOM, which is: Khmer Nation. Could you tell us or prove the world where were you before 13th century???, don't you? you were many years being Khmer slaves. Your Julalongkon U is only for the radicalst Siamese young generation like you and your grand parents not credible woldwide. If you don't mind, in order to reduce tension amongst Siameses internally, and the neighbour you should tell your grand children to attend Prasat Preah Vihear University learning about our two Nations true History. The Preah Vihaer U will teach solely history especially our two Nations History, and the world. It will be funded sometime after Siamese GVT's detoxication, it means free of drug from their brains, and the bodies fuctional system. I will tell you differently when your brain growing maturity; that mean there is no more lices on your head as you're today. Ask 11:28PM whether he/she allowe you to call Laok Kru Khmer!!! COW JI MI???? Down! to Ah Siameses Paper Tiger troopers Down!!!
So ridiculous people!!!!

When the time you need to prove your ancien identity, then you come up with the words (The wold don't care any country) that mean you support the idear of Siamese invation of someone land don't you?. I know you support the KHER & SIAMESE History's book Edited , and Modified by one of Siamese royal's radicalist which is now exiled to INDEA have ordained as a monk in Calcuta CITY after 1937. His book is causing Ah Siamese radicalist ofsprings to tear down your Country as it is righ now slowly!!. One more Word I should add, that Khmer have no OVERLAP TERRITORY Khmer need to reunited our brothers and Sisters as a MOHA KRUORSAR one again. A messege to my Khmer nation! Pleas do not bove to any neighbouring national flags, and do not allow youself to serve and protect Neighbour interest by turn the guns to your Khmer Nation spirits any longer!!, help one another to creation our big family!. Down to Ah Siamese!!! PL.K
Oh just know that It's very hard to explain the normal knowledge to the Kamphuchein stubbon people who think they know everything the best!!
Your historical knowledge background are so poor and out of dated.
Crazy on your nation the Greatest Khmear, only the great genetic of mankind, never lost the time to the killing field, the Khmear who kill their own brothers and sisters!!
I cannot understand when I was young why my neighbor country like yours have genocided yourself.
It had happened because you are always thinking about blamed on the other not yourself like the case with Thai.
Instead of scolding thai people look at yourself.
You always ruined your country...
