The army has deployed a battalion of troops backed by heavy weapons near Preah Vihear temple in Si Sa Ket province in case of further clashes with Cambodian soldiers.
Army chief Anupong Paojinda had ordered the Lop Buri-based artillery to send the battalion of troops with 12 large artillery weapons to Pha Mor E-Daeng Cliff national park, a source said yesterday.
Gen Anupong also ordered a company of special warfare troops to guard the border area in the northeastern province with a battalion of infantrymen as reinforcements. There are now 3,000 infantrymen securing the border.
The source said the additional troops and weapons were not sent to provoke clashes with Cambodian troops but were there as back-up. Thailand had a clear policy not to use force to solve border disputes with Cambodia.
The wrangling over the historic temple ruins and recent strong reaction from Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen had sparked speculation of more clashes between the two countries.
The army commander will today fly to the border area in Si Sa Ket, the source said.
The Foreign Ministry has expressed concern that Thailand's objection to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation's listing of Preah Vihear temple as a World Heritage Site last year could have a negative impact on border talks.
Vasin Teeravechyan, head of the Thai-Cambodian Joint Boundary Commission, said Thailand's position could obstruct border negotiations, including the 4.6 square kilometre area claimed by the two countries close to the temple.
The commission will wait for a response from the World Heritage Committee on the Thai position in Seville and the outcome of talks between Cambodian officials and Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban in Phnom Penh this week. Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suwit Khunkitti has travelled to the Spanish city for talks with the WHC.
If the talks in Seville and Phnom Penh do not go smoothly, it could disrupt the collaboration pledged by the Thai and Cambodian prime ministers, Abhisit Vejjajiva and Hun Sen, during Mr Abhisit's recent visit to Cambodia on June 12.
The Thai World Heritage Committee last week informed the Thai cabinet about its decision to oppose the registration of the ancient Hindu temple.
It said last year's listing had violated the registration process and increased conflicts along the Thai-Cambodian border instead of promoting cultural conservation and tourism between the peoples of both countries.

Now, get the fuck out of my face, asshole.
Pi Anh: PPU
Hahaha..Well done PPU.
I just wondered did why that asshole pretend not to be a Khmer??
"CLEAR POLICY" does not make sense since they never respect any agreements or accord.
Due to Cambodia-Thai military conflict, The Forth Indochina War will be stating soon. Cambodian may have a chance FREE themselves from Vietnamese Puppet government.
Cambodian will Thanks Thai as our
2nd Fathers, Mothers, Brothers and Sisters, rather thanks Vietnamese.
uncle Hun: screwed the useless talks, don't waste anymore of your time.
Dear Mr. Abhisit,
It is ridiculous that such in the powerful position as the PM of a country, you dare to try to claim a share of ownership with Cambodia on Preah Vihear. Please answer these questions, Mr. Abhisit:
1. Does Preah Vihear belong to Thailand?
2. Who has the rights to register Preah Vihear as the world heritage?
3. Did the UNESCO NOT know anything about who is the owner oh Preah Vihear?
4. How many state members voted for Preah Vihear Registration and stated this world heritage in the territory of Cambodia?
5. Do you think the UNESCO did not have any thorough study on the site before deciding to register Preah Vihear as the world heritage?
6. Do you have a real degree from Oxford?
7. Have you ever had a mental problem?
8. How did you manage to become the PM of Thailand?
If registering Preah Vihear as the world heritage involves the regional peace and stability, why don't you cry for any other registered heritages such as Pyramids in Egypt, the Great Wall of China, or Taj Mahal in India? I advise you to do the following so that you can claim some more world heritages from other countries. You, Mr. Aphasit should send some troops to fight Egypt, China or India and cry out to UNESCO that the fighting breaks out and there is no peace in the region and the world, so you ask the UNSESCO to reconsider the registration of Pyramids, Great wall, and Taj Mahal. It could be possible you may get one for your country interest.
Oh My God! Mr. Abhisit.! Please go to school again.
These days, the sins Thais have committed for along time against the Cambodians have splashed back to all stupid Thais. These are Buddhist curses:
1. The stupid Thai leaders became greedily unaware of the international laws and agreements/MOU
2. Tsunami has hit this Country.
3. In the southern part of Thailand the Muslim people stand up for their freedom and independence.
4. Thailand is known only for sex industry esp. in Pattaya.
5. Thailand tries to be hostile with all neighbors such as Myanmar (badly treating Burmese ethnics), Laos (fierce fighting in the 1980s), Malaysia (alleging Malaysia for supporting the Muslim rebel, and Cambodia (trying to claim Cambodia-owned Preah Vihear)
6. The bloody hatred between the Yellow-shirt and the red shirt supports in the BKK.
7. The crazy yellow shirt demonstration leader (who said during the demonstration that occupying the international airport in BKKwas fun?!?...) became the Minister of FA.
9. The country leaders usually come to power through the coups or street demonstrations.
10. The country has the most cases of H1N1 (about more than 500) in ASEAN region.
Thailand claims as a Buddhist country but disregards the Buddha teaching: Avoiding cheating people, avoiding telling lies, avoiding greed, and showing sympathy…..
May Buddha bless Cambodia!
May Buddha help Thailand turn as humans!
Cambodia
Mr. Abhisit,
The greedier you are, the more dangers you will encounter. You remember, you were almost killed in a plane clash in Cambodia. That was why you delayed your trip for five hours back to your country. Your plane has a technical error!!
Another thing you must remember too is that about three or four weeks ago, your FA Minister Kasit was almost killed by a lightning strike in Koh Kong when he was trying to come to take the road to PP. Another Person who was almost shot dead in BKK a month ago was Sondhi who unusually shows unreasonable hatred to Cambodians. Take Care, Mr. Abhisit!!
HBO, Cambodia
I know why Thailand keeps fighting.
Preah Vihear. The Thais are afraid of losing Sisaket province to Cambodia. By the way one of Siam King ruled and reigned Siam was Khmer.
And believe it or not million Red Shirts pro Taksin are Khmer decent and some Hmong or Laos. I read Dr. Giles Ungpakorn speech of his Marxist revolution.
You may not believe it, Dr. Giles further said King Bhumibol is weak and he lacks of character or lacks of courage. Bhumibol reigns with Military dictators who ruled. Dr. Giles said, unlike Bhumibol King Sihanouk has the courage, intelligence and the gut to do to save his nation and his people and is not afraid of being blamed by the critics who heading their asses up high cursing him.
To the posters who said Thailand will be a next Yugoslavia. You keep dreaming. The US and UK will fight at all cost to keep Thailand as its based in SEA against China.
Thec same as the US did in South Korea. View the documents at North and South Koreas' border you will see pure American troops stand there with the tall South Koreans army in a full alert.
Kknow why? hundred to thousand secret tunnels from North Korea into deep in South Korea.
I am not surprised if secret tunnels of China go deep into Hanoi.
Hey asshole 3:06pm,
You don't have the money to buy B2 or B52...so shut the fuck up and go fuck your brother, shit head.
WHO SAID YOU NEED MONEY TO FIGHT A WAR 10:58? WE GOT OIL SOON, THEN WE CAN USE LOVE AND CONDOMS FOR YOUR LADYBOYS TO SUBMIT TO OUR SEX DRIVE.
5:18 is a Siem.
