NONTHABURI, June 28 (TNA) - Tension along the Thai-Cambodian border should ease following Saturday’s talks between Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, according to Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, who spoke on Sunday.
Mr. Abhisit said Mr. Suthep had already briefed him on discussions made with Mr. Hun Sen in the Cambodian capital.
The discussions had helped both sides gain better understanding of the problem, Mr. Abhisit said, noting that it is expected that tensions at the Thai-Cambodian border should ease.
“We will wait to see whether troops deployed at the border should be reduced,” the prime minister noted. “Now, it is hoped that both countries will resolve the border problem through peaceful means as agreed earlier.”
Mr. Suthep told journalists upon his return from a one-day visit and talks with Mr. Hun Sen that Cambodia pledged to try to ease tensions along the border to create a good atmosphere to foster the bilateral economic cooperation and good relations.
It was agreed that the previous border incidents, particularly near Preah Vihear temple, would be considered as “past and like a nightmare, and that now the two nations should look ahead without looking back.”

Don't just think and wait Abhisit, because Thailand is the tension creator by sending the troop to Cambodia's territory.
In a position of the present Thai leader, you have to order your troop from the Khmer land. Therefore, the tension between the two nations not just eased, but resolved.
Abhisit doesn't stand a chance. Yingluck will win the election. Nice to see him being positive but, thank heavens, Thailand won't have to put up with him much longer.
