Tensions between Thailand and Cambodia are raising concerns from members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

Indonesia, says the dispute has to end, and the bloc must return to the usual path of friendship within ASEAN.

Marty Natalegawa, Indonesian Foreign Minister, said, "Tension between Cambodia and Thailand is something we're following extremely closely with a great deal of concern, to be honest, because it affects two fellow members of ASEAN, and we see the deterioration of relations to be in total disconnect with what ought to mark how ASEAN member countries ought to engage with one another."

This is a bilateral issue between Cambodia and Thailand, so ASEAN don't lose sleep about it. It's the game that the Thais
has been playing all long with Cambodia about Preah Vihear issue, so now it's Cambodia's turn to play the Thais' game with our
friend Thais.....it's nothing new.....don't be alarm.....it's just Bangkok misunderstands the situation.
