Negotiations between Thailand and Cambodia over Preah Vihear have stumbled over the spelling of the name of the famed ancient temple.
A Thai official said yesterday officials of the Thai-Cambodian Joint Boundary Commission were trying to find a way around the problem so border negotiations could proceed.
Vasin Teeravechyan, who chairs the commission, said a solution acceptable to the two countries would be found.
Thailand insists on using "the Temple of Phra Viharn-Preah Vihear" on documents used in the negotiations. Cambodian officials strongly object, saying Preah Vihear is internationally accepted.
Mr Vasin, who is a retired Foreign Ministry official, said the name proposed by Thailand was very common in international negotiations on the issue.
The Temple of Phra Viharn-Preah Vihear has been approved by parliament for the framework negotiations with Cambodia. Thailand will use it in documents to be signed with Cambodia.
The meeting will be concluded today.
The two countries have been unable to settle on a plan to reduce troops in the disputed area which covers 4.6 square kilometres between Kantharalak district in Si Sa Ket and the Cambodian province of Preah Vihear.
Mr Vasin refused further comment on the issue. But earlier he said Cambodia had told the meeting it had no soldiers stationed in the area.
The Cambodia delegation is led by Senior Minister Var Kim Hong.
Despite the disagreement over the name of the temple, the two countries will set up another team to survey the borderline for demarcation between Nam Yuen district in Ubon Ratchathani and Phu Sing district in Si Sa Ket, which is 195km long.
Thailand and Cambodia have already formed a survey team to study the disputed area near the ancient temple which was the scene of a military clash last year.
A plan to reduce the number of soldiers near the disputed area is expected to be included in talks when Defence Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan visits Phnom Penh on Friday.

This should be for Khmer on the mountain (the owner) to decide, and as we all know it, they wanted to called it, "Phra Viharn".
PREAH VIHEAR is a Khmer Langauge and If Thai want to change to PHRA VIHARN in Khmer it's mean DUMB FUCK.
7:29 AM,
People who wanna call the temple as Phra Viharn, are not human being. Because they can't pronounce the human being's word "Preah Vihear"..
Usually Monkey and Beast can't spell the human language so well...
If the Thais want this temple to be called Phrah Viharn, they are ones of those monkey or beasts..
Use Preah Vihear. F a Thai.
Khmer should tell Seim to change Bangkok to Bang-Kock that would suite to A Kateuy-Thai.

Those Thai gays should learn how to use Internet to find out which word is common...
I think they are so gay, coz they bargain like a girl in the market...
If Var Kim Hong let they suck his dick, they will agree with us with the word "Preah Vihear"..
It doesn't matter with they called the temple on the internet, but the rightly owner on the mountain what to called it, "Phra Viharn".
Fuck Thais and Royal of Thailand,
PRAVIHEAR is belong to Cambodia and the whole world aready known this fact, and your troops move to this poor Country' soveregnty, Thai should be ashamed your bad behavior. How do you want the people around the world do with your bad activities? Please let this country live in peacefully.
If khmers change Preas Vihear to
Preas Viharn word, mean that khmer sell this ancien temple to Thai. Is it right?
Please preven our property.
9:05 AM,
You live on the mountain and in the jungle, that is why you are so ignorant.
Many Khmers living in the houses, so they know that this temple is called Preah Vihear.
The term "Preah Vihear" are only used by cultured and civilized people, while the word "Phra Viharn" are using by barbarian. You know why? because the Thai were barbarian before 13 Century...
There are no mountain Khmer, middle Khmer..There is only one KHMER and we call the temple " Preah Vihear". Others are the barbarian Siameses who called the temple "Phra Viharn".
I like to call Prasat Khmer Preah Vihear.
and then I can remember Prah Vihear where Thai took innocent Khmer to force down onto landmine. You Thai can put this name on your document to proof what you have done to your neighbour.
Long live Preah Vihear, Long live Prasat Khmer Preah Vihear!!

Ah Pleu (9:05), the temple is on the mountain, the community is on the mountain. If you don't live in the community, you are not entitle to any voice. So Shut the fuck up, alright.
Thank you Cambodia that you stand firm on this issue.Thai and viet are smart in cheating and tricking,please be prepared for the up coming confrontation.
Cambodian help Cambodian
thank you
11:11, how does a mountain and cave dwelling community like yours get wired to KI?
Stop being such a pathetic Siam cry-baby. The temple never belonged to you and it never will so get over it!
Don't even pretend to speak for people you never it met. Go back to your BangCock hole from which you came.
How we eat and sleep is none of your business, Ah Slave (12:27).
The temple was build on the mountain for us who live on the mountain, not you people on the flat land. So stay out of our territory.
Fuck pra chao you hour.
This is a test for Cambodia government. Will government accept the document with mentioning pra viharn?
Actually, the question should be will the government try to rape Khmer Leu's lands and temple?
I am so sorry for we thai trying to steal more land from you khmer. we thai monkeys were brain washed by the PAD since the primary school to the University. Yes I agreed that the temple should be called Prasat Khmer Preah Vihear.
Hey folks on the mountain listen up ,there are no such thing exist on the mountain(khmer on the mountain)?
There only the monkey up there and you are one of them, stop talking none senses okay khmer people not fool ok is you are so hungry Preah Vihear is not available for your monkey greed but my banana is and a lot of juice now monkey on the mountain can get down then suck it is free BUT PREAH VIHEAR hell NO censor .
Hahaha...I like that 2:14Pm..That dude is confused! (Khmer on the mountain?) Stupid fool! Obviously he ain't khmer cuz he wants the name to be thai and not khmer. Behead the Thai!
The donkey siameses could not speak human languange clearly, therefore; they wished to change sound of Preak Vihear to the donkey sound Preak Viharn. I hope Khmers are not animals as Siameses.

Oh shut the fuck up, Ah Khmer Leu Wannabe (9:21)!
I suggest the In'tl news medias write about this story so the world would know the truth intention of the THAI government. Clearly, THAILAND is the trouble maker who is relentlessly trying to cause trouble for Cambodia and the region.
not unless they agree to change bangkok to boeungkak in khmer, it's original name as the area was khmer to start with! i like the previous suggestion to change bangkok to bang cock, that sounds better than bangkok!
No problem, the soon you get the US to change Washington DC to London 2.
