Many residents in Si Sa Ket province wore yellow yesterday, ostensibly to help protect Thailand from black-magic spells cast by Khmer "wizards" who met at Preah Vihear during the solar eclipse yesterday.
Bun Rany, the wife of Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, led Buddhist monks and soldiers to the ancient Hindu temple yesterday morning to call upon their ancestors to protect the temple.
"The first lady called upon ancestral spirits to chase away the enemy," Min Khin, chairman of Cambodia's festival committee, told reporters after the ceremony.
Thai media reports said that the mysterious black-magic spells by Khmer wizards would not only protect the temple but also weaken Thailand. Some astrologers urged locals to wear yellow yesterday to deflect the spells.
Tensions have been running high since Thailand deployed troops in the disputed area on July 15, and Cambodia responded by doing the same. The dispute began when Phnom Penh applied for World Heritage Site status for the 900-year-old Hindu temple.
Things got worse when Thai protesters stormed into the complex in a bid to blame Samak Sundaravej's Cabinet for the loss of sovereignty over land in Preah Vihear's vicinity.
In 1962, the International Court of Justice ruled that the temple was situated in a territory under Cambodian sovereignty, but Thailand said the ruling never indicated that 4.6 square kilometres of land around the ruins also belonged to Cambodia.
Foreign Minister Tej Bunnag yesterday spoke with Laurent Bili, the French Ambassador to Thailand, urging France to help bridge relations between Thailand and the former French colony.
Ministry spokesman Tharit Charungvat said Tej had told the ambassador that France, which colonised the country in the mid-18th century, could join tri-party talks. Tej also econveyed Thailand's concerns over Phnom Penh's move to take the stand-off to the United Nations Security Council.
Tej had agreed with his Cambodian counterpart Hor Namhong on Monday to redeploy troops in the area, but no changes were made on the ground.

Dear Brothers Thai,
You see you should know that the Cambodians are good in putting spells. We don't need F-16s. You will get diarrhea in the next few days if you continue to stay in Preah Vihear.
Last night, I dreamed that Preah Ko (the sacred ox) chased your troops with his horns and thousands of Thai troops died instantly.
To avoid this disaster, please pray for peace and Preah Ko will forgive you.
A prophet of Preah Ko
This is the time when SIAM comes to be wiped out from this world.
Go Dechho HUN SEN!!!!!!!
Mr. Hun Sen must complain to UNSC and ICJ as soon as possible because Ah Siam want to prolong the time for their occupy illegally, and want to share manage our temple together.
Don't believe Ah Siam theif!!
Boy Cotte all ah Siam Product!!!
Fucking Ah Siam !!!
This is a joke to stir up some ignorant Thais to serve the Pad political agendas and breed more hatred between Cambodians and Thais.
Mrs Bun Rany did a good deed for us Khmer. Chase the Thai bandits out of our territory.
But I agree with 7:28, we are loosing our time. We must go back to the UN security council or the World court ASAP. The new Thai foreign minister Tej Bunnaj is very smart. Watch him out. He wants to delay our only legitimate legal actions supporited by most of the civilized World. Now he wants to get the French on the Thai side. This guy is dangerous.
go to hell bun rany....what else uuuu give to thailand for power...another island....is it enough...more to yuon....
may god cast his spell to doom thailand forever. thailand had committed karma against cambodia. may god punish thailand and their twerp people!!! god bless cambodia.
thai you are chicken
9:10am!
How could you called THAI << chicken?>>. I think khmers are chicken.We occupy your country and you can't do a shit about that.
You, Thai, are chicken because you are not brave enough to go to face with Cambodia on the international court.
Go to the hell and fuck you, Thai!
"We occupy your country and you can't do a shit about that."
Just from the word you said, you were already a theft and an invader!
Go to the hell, man, with all of your people! Fuck you!
Cambodian Strong man..But weakest one with Foreigners.." .. Peaceful/patient non-violent means= mean Cowardice..."
Cambodian parts do not mind so much about territory.. main thing is Power among Cambodians... Positions within ministries which will be appointed soon after election.."
WE have USED ALL FORCES MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY, FINANCIALLY TO FIGHT WITH OUR COMPATRIOTS ESPECIALLY IN ELECTION... TRICKS, MEANS, TACTICS HAVE BEEN USED TO GAIN THE POWER... WHEN FOREIGN ENNEMIES ARRIVED NOTHING TO USE TO PROTECT OUR LAND.. JUST PRAY....
THIS IS THE ROOT OF SO_CALLED STRONG MAN.."
" THAI USES THE SAME TRICKS AS CAMBODIAN AUTORITY USED TO GRAB LAND FROM POOR AND WEAK CITIZENS IN CAMBODIA..."
Excellency Bandit General Samdach ACHAR Okhna KNOY
It remind us "... when Poor Cambodian People's Land are Grabbed by the Cambodian Tycoons, Powerful /high rank officials etc... Poor people have no/or could not afford for legal means or physical means to protect their land Just USING Margic Spells e.g in Neak Ta Dambang Kronhung/ Battambang and any where in Cambodia etc..(BUT THEY ARE FORBIDDEN BY AUTHORITY) NOW Look at The Pictures those High/Elites women use MARGIC SPELLS TOO..."
