Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva will make an official visit to Cambodia on Friday for bilateral talks, including discussions on the continuing border dispute near Preah Vihear temple and the sea border in the Gulf of Thailand.
It will be hisd first trip to Cambodia since taking office in December.
Mr Abhisit said on Thursday he had to cancel his planned visit to Cambodia on April 18 because of the anti-government riots in Bangkok.
He will meet Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen to discuss expansion of bilateral cooperation, such as the construction of roads connecting the two countries, the development of water resources, electricity sales and tourism promotion.
Thailand will offer low-interest loans to Cambodia, and will return seven Khmer artifacts smuggled into Thailand by thieves about 10 years ago and later seized by police, he said.
Mr Abhisit said he will also meet Thai businessmen in Phnom Penh to discuss their problems and try and help them if possible.

Cambodian government is being too soft, this is making Thai look down on cambodia...
It doesn't matter low interest loan or not. The compensation must be paid!!!
From HUN Manith,
To all brother and sister in YALA! we all need to continue to fight Thai-Gov'ts until our people free from Thai abusive!! we will not give up our fight.......
God will show us the way!
Sir,
Thai government must pay the 2,13 million USD to the Preah Vihear people who lost their home by the Thai army rockets which set into blaze.
In 2003, Cambodian protesters had destroyed some parts of the Royal Thai Embassy; the Cambodian Government had immediately paid the amount of money asked by the Thai side without saying anything.
The Thai side should immediately reciprocate this issue by not talking too much of this or that.
Too much argument worth nothing to
Cambodians. As rich country, Thailand must not act like this because it is a very small money.
Thailand must have a good ambition over the matter of fact. You had burned my house you must pay me.
Please softly consider my opinion .
Thank you.
