SI SA KET, Jan 26 (TNA) – Thailand’s Khao Phra Viharn national park closed on Tuesday after a Sunday clash between Thai army rangers and Cambodian troops in an area disputed by both countries.
The army rangers are stationed at the national park entrance and the public is not allowed to enter for safety reasons. Thai authorities are monitoring Cambodian radio and television news to report to their superiors.
Thai Army Rangers clashed early Sunday with a unit of Cambodian soldiers near the disputed 900-year-old Preah Vihear temple. No casualties were reported.
Lt-Col. Nut Sri-in, commander of Suranaree Task Force Unit 163, said the fighting took place while a group of Thai rangers were patrolling and confronted Cambodian soldiers and some civilians who were felling trees in Thailand’s Kantharalak district bordering Cambodia.
The troops exchanged gunfire for over 20 minutes before the Cambodian soldiers withdrew into Cambodia, he said.
After negotiations later in the day, Thai and Cambodian army officers said that the fighting early Sunday was due to misunderstanding and they agreed to jointly find a solution to ease the tensions.

Thai are twisting the story, first said Khmer army felling down tree , now with civiliens and withdrew back in Khmer soil.
No shame , Siem are showing the tail.
Never heard Khmer army crossed the border to other side.
Dead to Siem
Of course, Thais never admited about their guilts or any wrong doing? but i do believed in our soldiers, they will never fire a shot first...never! i can gurantee that for 100%!
Hey guy, that the type of sand bag that i'm talking about, our troops should use this same kind of sand bag with the right color'military' i seen Khmer soldier used white color sand bag or blue color? i'm not trying to blame our soldier, but the stupid khmer commander, supposed to know all these shit! i knew our soldier just do what they can to survive or protecting from the bullets..
Those Khmer commanders are uneducated people, no educations background, no schooling, nothing?, they only have some war experienced, but they should know about these alittle things..?
don't be an idiot in a war you don't need education or schooling background cuz you not going to sit in a aircon office,all you need to know is to hit the target and kill.few people keep complaining about everything but they never achieve anything.

I am sure you are Thai or third class Thai citizen "uneducated people are trustfully. Look at Thai people are all hight and well educated, but the are very stupid and barbarism.
Only stupid men want to fight allowing others to make millions and millions of USD, staying in big houses, scratching asses, fucking their beatifull wifes.
How much longer will Thailand continue playing its unfriendly or so called traditional enemy card with Cambodia? Shouldn't it be enough by now? Should Thailand come to term with what are factual and stop using Preah Vihear for their political purposes once and for all? Because it will not benefit anybody going that route and it also hurt Thailand's creditability to say the least. Stop taking advantage on Cambodia at its vulnerable situation.
Guy, just to let Thais Gov't know that Khmer don't need schooling, just to kills Thais invader...
