Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat hopes to discuss the border dispute with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on the sidelines of the Asia-Europe Summit (Asem) in Beijing on Friday and Saturday.
Mr Somchai said on Tuesday the time and date had not yet been arranged.
He hoped the talks would return the relationship to normal and ease the tension over the 4.6 sq km disputed area between Kantharalak district in Si Sa Ket and Preah Vihear temple in Cambodia.
Also on Tuesday, the Foreign Ministry protested against the deployment of Cambodian troops in another overlapping area, at the Trimuk Pavilion, which Thailand claims as part of Ubon Ratchathani province.
Director-general of the Treaties and Legal Affairs Department Virachai Plasai summoned Cambodian Charge d'Affairs Ouk Sophoin to receive the protest note.
It said the boundary in the area was still subject to tripartite negotiations between Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. The presence of Cambodian troops was causing unnecessary tension, said Mr Virachai.
The ministry says nine armed Cambodian troops have been deployed at the pavilion since Sept 18. Thailand claims it is in Nam Yuen district. Laos and Cambodia also claim sovereignty.
"The ministry delayed the protest because it wanted to the check facts first," Mr Virachai said, and called on Cambodia to promptly withdraw its troops.
The cabinet appointed Vasin Teeravejayarn the Thai chairman of the Joint Boundary Commission to demarcate the land border with Cambodia. He was nominated by Foreign Minister Sompong Amornvivat.
Government spokesman Nattawut Saikua said Mr Vasin is a former ambassador to South Korea and former director-general of the Treaties and Legal Affairs Department. He will take up the post on Nov 10.
Meetings have not been scheduled because the government wants parliament to approve the talks for fear of breaching the charter.
One of the seven Thai soldiers wounded during the fighting on Oct 15 was pronounced dead on Tuesday morning.
Volunteer paramilitary ranger Bunyarit Kantee died at Sappasitprasong hospital in Ubon Ratchathani.
He was hit by shrapnel while guarding the border at Phu Makheu, near Preah Vihear.
His body was taken to Ban Natruan temple in Si Sa Ket's Phu Sing district for the bathing rite.
Her Majesty the Queen, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn and HRH Princess Srirasm provided wreaths for the funeral ceremony. HRH Princess Soamsawali has provided royal bathing water.
A royal funeral rite will be held at the temple on Monday .
Second Army deputy commander Maj-Gen Veevalit Jornsamrit said the army has already given 800,000 baht compensation to the ranger's family.

Thai wants to claim the triangle land that cambodian armies have already occupied sine 1907 until now.
We will give another lesson if you (thai)wants some more trouble.
k.serey
As opposition Kim Sucka always said that he is BETTER PM than Hun Sen. We voters want to know how he "WOULD" be better than Hun Sen. He should have come out and OFFERED suggestion to the government, what he "WOULD" do if he "WERE" PM.
Sucka only criticize Khmer and work to ban foreign aids to Khmer, but when it comes to protect Khmer, he has no ideas. I have lost all my faith in the opposition now, after this crisis and after Sucka flip flop his pledge to boycott NA as a result of BRIBES by Kith Meng.
Now it shows why Cambodia needs Hun Sen. Sucka is hopeless useless foreign idiots.
Many people assume only he/she is the best. That's common. The news above is not above who is the best, but why Thais claimed another place.
Thieves never abandon their tactics until they are arrested or can sneak in. They want to try another frontline to test our strength. They never respect the good will of Cambodians. For centuries, they use the same strategies i.e. negotiations, invade, bribe, allies ... The only way to stop them is to request international help using the existing mechanisms.
Hun Sen should not waste his times with Somchai. He may be not Prime Minister of Thailand when returned from China.
HEY!!
ANOTHER TALKS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER TALKS. IT WILL BE ENLESS TELKS. TALKS AND TALKS UNTIL CAMBODIA WILL LOSE THE CASE IN BORDER LAND CONFLICTS.
TALKS WITH THAI PM SOMCHAI WILL BE THE SAME AS THE PREVIOUS TALKS, ENDING UP IN NEGATIVE RESULT, THE WARS OF WORDS AND MAY LEAD TO ANOTHER ARMED CLASHES.
WHY ! WHY ?
THE WHY IS : AT THE MOMENT PM SOMCHAI DOES NOT HAVE FULL AUTHORIZED CAPACITY TO REPRESENT THAILAND IN THE TALKS. WHAT MAY BE AGREED OR DISAGREED AT THE TALKS WILL USELESS AS THE PAD, THE THAI KING AND THAI MILITARY WILL OBJECT IT AS NULL AND VOID.
NOTE: AFTER THE TALKS BETWEEN THE TWO COUNRIES'S FOREIGN MINISTERS IN PHNOM PENH, THERE WAS ULTIMATUM AND FIGHTING BROKE OUT.
THIS TIME THERE WILL BE TALKS OR NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THAI AND CAMBODIAN PRIME MINISTERS. KHMER PEOPLE HOPE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE ANY LARGE-SCALE FIGHTING.
PM HUN SEN AND SOMCHAI, YOU BOTH SHOULD NOT PLAN ANY MORE FIGHTINGS AIMED AT POLITICAL REINFORCEMENT OR HELP FOR THAKSIN AND PPP.
PM HUN SEN, YOU SHOULD NOT BE FOOLED BY THE THAIS, OR FLATTERED BY BEING NICKNAMED AS "CAMBODIA'S STRONG MAN". PLS DO WHAT CAN BENEFIT CAMBODIA ONLY.
REMEBER: FOR THE LAST 9 CENTURIES, CAMBODIA HAS NEVER GAINED ANYTHING FROM THAILAND. CAMBODA HAVE LOST A LOT AND WILL LOSE MORE IF KHMER LEADERS DO NOT MAKE WINING DECISIONS IN DEALING WITH THE THAIS.
YOU SHOULD FORGET ABOUT THE PAST CENTURIES DURING WHICH SOME OF THE KHMER KINGS AND LEADERS HAD DONE WRONGS AND CAUSED DESTRUCTIONS TO THE KHMER NATIONS.
THIS TIME, AS A LEADER OF NEW-GENERATION CAMBODIA, IT IS YOUR OBLIGATION TO SERVE AND SAVE THE KHMER NATION BETTER, BY TURNING THE LOSS AND FAILURES IN THE PAST INTO THE SUCCESSES FOR THE PRESENT-DAY AND FUTURE CAMBODIA.
YOU SHOULD CHANGE YOUR HABIT OF BLAMING THE PAST TO AVOID THE PRESENT PROBLEMS OR TO WASH YOUR HANDS OFF THE ISSES. IT IS NOT TIME TO BLAME THE PAST, BUT TO SETTLE THE CURRENT PROBLEMS BY SEEING THE FUTURE.
BLACK CAT
Cat,
You don't understand the dept of the entire problem. The past yields understanding the real reasons why the Khmers are furious every time a new territorial quarrel surfaces. It is a reminiscence of what had occured in all these past centuries between the Khmer and Siam. We Khmers will never forget the bitter past and the glorious past our ancestors had achieved and maintained through their hard work. A nation that committed criminal deeds will lose in the end. How? Only time can and will tell.
At the near future all people siem is become to Prime Minister, because a few Prime Minister Stand for is a resigning from the king of Siem.
hello dear khmer fellows;
I have been paying my attention to the thai-khmer border conflict,(over a dispute area as thailand claimed),very closely and read all avialable news on line,khmer & english news.I told the preah vihear situation to my family members including the 3 years old son and nephew.i also told them about the talks between cambodian and thai leaders to solve the dispute or at least reduce the border temperature in the past and in the upcoming one.You fellow not gonna believe what my 7 years old nice told me about the talk.SHE TOLD ME THAT,IF SHE WERE THE LEADER OF CAMBODIA SHE WON'T WASTE ANYMORE TIME TALKING TO THE THAI.I am amazed by her opinion.Well, i told everyone about the border issue in detail.My 13 years old son had also told me that,if cambodia can not efford to buy the jet fighter to counter thailand,all cambodia need to buy is 5 SAM for every one of thailand aircraft to cover cambodian sky and 10 surface-surface missiles for each of thailand air base.He also said if cambodia still can't efford that,then just china if cambodia can make payment to them.I told him that chinese weapon is cheap that is not that good,then he sais,well their milks/cream and candy bars are lethal,you think their weapon is not??then why taiwan don't invade them??...It is amazing that these young kids can have some kind of these idea.I used to read your people comments in here most of the time but i never post it until i heard these from my kid and nephews and nice,i thought i should share it with all of you.
