BANGKOK, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- Thailand and Cambodia could negotiate to solve the ongoing diplomatic standoff and to prevent this bilateral problem from escalating, Thailand's Interior Minister Chavarat Charnvirakul suggested Monday.
If the two countries let the bilateral problem continue and the Thai-Cambodian border might be closed, this will affect the people of the two countries, Thai News Agency quoted Chavarat as saying.
Thailand and Cambodia are now on the political standoff after ousted former Thai premier Thaksin Shinawatra was officially appointed on Nov. 4 as adviser of Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Senand the Royal Government of Cambodia King Norodom Sihamoni.
Over the weekend, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen announced that Thaksin will visit Cambodia this week after he has been named the country's economic adviser.
On Nov 12, Thaksin will hold a briefing with over 300 Cambodian economics experts at the Ministry of Economy and Finance, Hun Sen said.
Meanwhile, the Thai-Cambodian border trade has remained normal amid rumors from the Cambodian side that the Thai-Cambodian border might be closed.
A lot of Cambodians come to buy goods, particularly foods, including water from the Thai side to stockpile.
After the appointment of Thaksin, the Cambodian government on Nov. 5 announced to recall its ambassador to Thailand in a move to respond to the Thai government's earlier recall of its ambassador to Cambodia.
Thaksin was ousted by the military coup in September 2006, in accusation of corruption, and is living in exile since then.
He returned to Thailand in February 2008 to face corruption charges, but he later fled into exile again and was convicted in absentia.

Recognizing Cambodia sovereignty over disputed or overlapped area, or whatever you want to call it, Thaksin will fade away from Cambodia. The choice is your, pal!
If the diplomatic is failled. We must use arms to result the problems.
Let the Khmer-Thai war beging!
I bet Thai will advance their forces very deep into Cambodia within an hour to take half of Cambodia. According to the 1907 map
Thai's border were at Svay Duon Keo.
Lt-Gen Weewalit Jornsamrit will command his 2nd Army Region to take Cambodia very fast and control that region within 2 hour for the most, according to his skills and strategies planning.
I will pay big money to see this 12:11am

Please try. I am sure you will enjoy the real war. Remember, this war is not the war with the Yala in southern part.
12:11AM, LOL, LOL…2 hours my ass. So, what the hell are you and gay troopers waiting for? If Thailand is so strong, why brag about it, just do what you have to do. I bet you got no ball.
Bring it on!!!!!!!! Khmer army waits for you with open arms.
11:34PM There's no overlapping area according to map recognized by ICJ. It exists only in the tais'dream.
Do not fall into their trap by using the term 'overlapping'.
12:11 AM,
Cambodia and Lao are Viet's satellites. Thai's invasion of Cambodia amount to wage war against the Viet as well. Do you think your country can win the war if the three countries are united?
1:37 AM
Sound like...you are the puppet of Indochina already right?
I looked and learnt back the history about Khmer Siam and Khmer Yuon wars, show khmer had lost to both sides and khmer just the battle field and human shield for either country. I can see the weak point of the khmer army already, they not strong as you think, because, your government doesn't have enough money to feed them, their famileis so poor, uniforms like baggar, moral like gangster and thief that's why some people in the usa, france, canada have many fund raisings to feed their troops on behalf of cambodia government.
2:19 AM,
If you are Thai, it is you who forced us to do that. It is you who make us, Cambodian, choose between siding with the crocodile or siding with the tiger. We know our country alone is weak, our army is not strong to fight with yours. However, if we united three countries into one to fight your country we are sure will win the war and when that time come you country will be placed under the Viet's domination as well. If your government and your people are smart you should treat us nicely, stop bullying us, give up ambition to take our land and when that's happened we can live in peace as neighbors, otherwise you are forcing us into choosing the Viet to counter your ambition.
The viets alone can kick the siames asses. The viets got weapns as well as experiences. The siames only got weapns with no experience...all for looks only.
Cambodia did not want to close the fucken border and close embassy? you, and your stupid Thais PM is the one that want to close everything, and threaten cambodia...Tell you what! your people is the one that suffer more than cambodia stupid!!
To Hun Sen (Leader of the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime)
Since you and the CPP assassinated, executed, killed and murdered jurnalists, political opponents, leaders of the free trade union, innocent men, innocent women and innocent children;
Do you have any plan to assassinate the Thai prime minister (Abhisit Vejjajiva)?
Are you going to send Brigade 70 (Hun Sen's Death Squad Unit) to assassinate the Thai prime minister (Abhisit Vejjajiva)?
Is it true, you only kill your own peoples, you will not kill Thai and Veitnamese peoples that cannot get enough of our land?
Is it true, you only kill innocent Khmer peoples with no weapon in their hands?
You can choose to take side with Vietcong, but thailand is US ally. If the war break out, you guys will be starved to death like KR. It will be no food for you to eat.
8:48 AM,
South Vietnam used to be U.S. ally too. But when time come, the U.S. abandoned South Vietnam to the North and this will happen to the Thai too when the war break out.
8:48 AM,
And remember, Thailand is surrounded by Cambodia, Lao, and Burma which are unfriendly to you, Thai. If the war breaks out it will be all of you who are starving to death.
