Thai soldiers have been put on full alert along the disputed border with Cambodia and been warned that an armed clash is possible, Second Region Army commander Viboonsak Neepal said on Thursday.
Lt-Gen Viboonsak said the Cambodian army had begun deploying more troops and artillery, including 10 large cannons and six tanks, near Preah Vihear temple.
The new Cambodian troops were dressed in new uniforms and armed with new rifles. They had set up camp about two kilometres across the border from Chong Sa Ngam in Si Sa Ket.
Thai troops stationed along the border now had units on alert around the clock, he said.
"If there are bullets coming from the other side, the Thai army is ready to retaliate by any means necessary.
"I have ordered all troops to show patience but be alert, and reminded them not to underestimate the situation," he said.
Meanwhile, Cambodian villagers continued to buy goods at the Thai market as usual.

New uniforms? New rifles. Anyone have any idea what the article is talking about?
War is coming??????
PPU, where are you i need you on yahoo. thanks. serenity
Yes disarm those AK47 soldiers. You have duperior weapons and finance with the strong support from our US ally, you will have no reason to lose this war.
Bring down this Communist Khmer, and support SRP and put them under US's umbrellar all together.
Thai will fire first to Cambodia, because it wants to show the UNESSCO and the world that it is strong and can distroy what it needs, include the Preash Temple of Cambodia.
UN and UNESSCO must punish thai about its bad mood, and buld peace border together.
Thai, itself should be ashamed what it had done with Cambodia.
If I understand Abishit clearly, this time has got nothing to do with Cambodia, it is between Thai and UNESCO. Put it in other word, if Thai not happy with UNESCO, Cambodia is not the target but UNESCO, Thai want to have war with UNESCO.
But as usual, Thai is very coward, using all the tricky word and action and waiting for bullet from Khmer to start war, keep dreaming, I heard your king is very dissapointed with Abishit that is why he is shamelessly pulling all the tricks.
Down ah siam,
Long live Kingdom Of Cambodia, Country Of Wonder.

Put under US umbrella? Ah Chkei kbot cheat. Who is your father? Ah Brot Chet Lon Nol? That traitor sold Cambodia to the US. You must be the left over Lon Nolist that wants to see Khmer under colonialism again.

disarm AK47, putting cambodia under the US umbrella, blah blah blah. All you morons probably never even touched or seen an AK47 pieces in action. Under the U.S umbrella? I should kick your thick real skull hard with my boots because it deservs that
2:35 is a Siem perpetrator. His link to network in Thailand.
We will continue to see the THAI failure for this ambition. They kept getting turn down nationally and internationally.
Cambodia is in a good stance, we got all support nationally and internationally.
Even the war going to happen, they will be doomed. Khmer has all kind of experiences. Now Khmer united and we will might be able to reclaim the surrounding provinces back for Cambodia. If we meant to fight them we better of retake our provinces back.
Thai will fail!!

It is clearly show me that Cambodia is really acting more professional now than the Thai. The world is really disgrace with Thai's ambitious behavior. Cambodia just got out of war the other day and acting educated that the Thai. On the other hand, Thai said their country is well stability but instead of being the roll model they acting very uneducated and unprofessionally.
Well done Cambodia!!!!
It is a fool for Khmers to think about breaking out of war between Thailand and Cambodia.
War for what? for stupidity of the Khmer or Thai?
Thai bothering Khmer because Khmer giving land and sea to Viet. Thai just want a share of weakening Khmer under Viet domination.
Will Viet fight for Khmer? ... Not likely in this situation. Viet is not stupid to fight war....
Maybe Viet suggesting to Khmer to compromise with Thai?
9:12 is the same person as 2:35. He is the Siem perpetrator.
don't understand why any "Khmer" person would want Thailand to invade Cambodia's territory in full fledged and destroy their own country's infrastructure so that it can be under the 'umbrella' of ghost state. U.S white well be a ghost state to Cambodia, it is oceans apart. The tiger with the tooth in this region is China.
So, I think the Khmer patient should run out a long time ago. It's time to drag this matter to the U.N to seek justice against this aggressive incursion!
9:16 uneducated, this is typical mentality of blind guessing.
The Fourth Indochina war will irrupt soon-- Thai will over run Cambodia to capture Phnom Penh then change Hun Sen Regime, and install New Government
These people are Siem perpetrators. They network IP address is not in Cambodia.
