Thai and Cambodian soldiers will remain entrenched along the border, following talks among military commanders from both sides that failed to bring about any kind of withdrawal or cooperation Thursday.
Thai and Cambodia military commanders met on the Thai side of the border near Preah Vihear temple in a four-hour meeting Thursday, as the Cambodian death toll rose by one following a brief skirmishes Wednesday.
Ten Thai soldiers who had been surrounded at the Keo Sikha Svara pagoda, west of Preah Vihear temple, were given back their arms and will be allowed to stay in the pagoda, and all other troops will remain in their positions, said Maj. Gen. Srey Doeuk, commander of Cambodia's Division 12, who participated in the talks Thursday.
Cambodia also rejected a suggestion by Thailand that soldiers from both sides conduct joint patrols along the border, Srey Doeuk said.
Phnom Penh was quiet a day after the fighting, and Foreign Minister Hor Namhong told VOA Khmer diplomatic relations on both sides remained good, with hopes of more talks on the border dispute, which has continued since July 15.
Meanwhile, many Thai nationals in Phnom Penh were preparing to return to Thailand.
In Oddar Meanchey province, west of Wednesday's fighting, many people were seen fleeing for safety, though a small percentage stayed behind.

I like that Khmer rejected a joint patrols. How stupid is that? If both countries join, why need to patrol? Patrol to protect the border from who, the civilians? You must have enemy to deter is the purpose of patrolling, or else you dont need it.
Only with joint patrolling can we in a war against drug smugglers.
By reading Yahoo news, the 10 Thai soldiers who were captured by Cambodia force rejected that they were captured. They drank coffee with Cambodia soldiers last night.
Next time don't release them. Lock them up and show the world the invaders. Send them to Prey Sar. They never admitted their guilt.
NO JOINT PATROL PLEASE. THANKS TO GEN. SREY.
Their purpose is to joint control and share benefit of Preah Vihear
Where the fuck is Scam Rainsy, Kim Sucka? If their heads are true opposition, they should have offered policy suggestions to the government. These shit heads are hiding in the bunker, and shaking with fears from the crisis.
To all those who want Hun Sen to step down, I hope now you can why we can't trust the shit heads opposition. If they are in power today, Khmer nation will be humiliated by Thailand.
To all fuck heads supporter of Scam and Sucka, time to go fuck yourself.
There are video and photos of their capture. The truth will come out. What disappointed me was that the Khmer soldiers didn't tie them up, instead they were allow to sit like they are buddies.
Thai try to invade Veal Intry for cutting the road to Preah Vihear. Then we will be forced to let them co-manage the whole Preah Vihear.
What is wrong with that? It sounds like a win-win deal.
Is it mean that Hun Sen makes rights decision to protect that point at any cost?. Now, as Thai's purpose seem to be failed, they ask to joint patrol along the border. They are realy stupid.
How is that a win-win deal? Preah Vihear belongs to Khmer, and if we do a joint that mean Thai will make money off it also. Why do we want to share with Thai? The UN and the world know it belongs to Khmer.
Just like oil in the country. Do you want to share with Thai also?
UN IS UNDER AMERICAN INFLUENCE, AND TAHILAND IS A LONG STANDING FRIEND OF AMERICA. THAILAND'S WEAPONARY EQUIPMENTS ARE SUPPLIED BY THE AMERICA. DON'T YOU KHMERS KNOW THAT THE M16 RIFFLES AND THE BULLETS KILLED THOSE TWO KHMER SOLDIERS ARE MADE IN THE US?
YOU KHMERS ARE SO DUMP, YOU ARE WELCOME TO BRING THE ISSUE TO THE UN. YOU CAN ONLY WON AT THE UNISCO BECAUSE IT IS ONLY A SEPERATE CIVILIAN INSTITUTION FROM THE UN.
5:21 AM , YOU THINK HUN SEN will listion to them ? AH PLEUR ... and shut up , stop make KHMERS fighting each other NOW .. UNITE AGAINT AH SIAMES FIRST .. WE TALK AFTER WE FINISH WITH ASIAMES .. BOSO..
To save our motherland, leaved you confident on Hun Sen's Government then back to support CACJE campaign on 1000000 thumb print. Please get the form and petition from http://cambodiancoalition.org/uploads/48d103d5-3786-08ec.pdf
Eh, Ah coward Siem 5:33 AM, can you make win-win deal by joint control your Sisaket?
To 5:44 AM a yellow bustard Siem:
We are not dump. Your dream of US is over. This is the beginning of change that your Siem bustard will tuble like a hay blown by the big storm. Don't be dreaming no more, this is real. Loa will shoot your arss to the moon. What did loa took over in 2000 what is the island call? how about 1987, how many of your siem bustard dead, 6000 thousand, wasn't it? Where were your mighty US?
Anyway don't even dream of our Prah Vihear. That's all your siem bustard can build is Kateuy(man made holes).
Loa, Burma, Khmer these are the people that scare the shit nit your stupid mofosob siem.
5:44, you shit heads, how do you know Hun Sen will not listen to them? He will listen but whether or not he follows depend on the goodness of the suggestion. But as opposition Scam Rainsy and Kim Sucka shoulda, woulda coulda offer a suggestion on what they would do to resolve the crisis IF THEY WERE PM. Isn't that what they always wanted, to be PM? Now we need to see what they would do if they were elected in the previous election. Whether Hun Sne listen or not is not relevant. We voters want to know.
But where are they now? in the bunker shitting all over themselves. Scam and Sucka only know how to destroy Khmer, but when it comes to protect Khmer, they would be as quiet as a cat. So much for leadership change.
I repeat this: Now it shows why Cambodia needs Hun Sen. If you are opposition supporters, time to go fuck you own man hole, you fuck heads.
7.02 am, i suggest to politely, my khmer brother, ( if you really are), rainsy, kem sokha are fully behind Hun sen in defending khmer lands, on this issue. we must be united as one at the monent. have you heard rainsy, sokha attcked on hun sen on this ? no, no. they even urged hun sen to go to the wporld court at the same time. son chhay also urged hun sen to be this tough sometime back. it would have contained the problem from escalating a long time ago, had hun sen heeded the opposition.
i am an opposition supporter, but i supported all khmer fighting the siem on this front, no matter what. you hear me ?
you should learn to see some credit in having geuine khmer opposition brothers who are not your enemy, but pure nationalist, and patriots, also.
i repeat for this external enemy, all khmer must unite as one. all criticisms from other khmer are only contructive, not destructive.
a khmer lover
Do mair may United with ah Sokonk son of Ah Ho Chimin goat face mothefucker Vietnamese!!!!
