Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has rejected calls from the People's Alliance for Democracy for Thailand to boycott a World Heritage Committee meeting in Brazil, saying its absence would not do the country any good.
Mr Abhisit said yesterday the Thai delegation must be there to raise objections if Cambodia proposes a plan to unilaterally manage the Preah Vihear world heritage site.
Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suwit Khunkitti is taking the Thai delegation to attend the 34th session of the WHC, part of Unesco, in Brazil.
Cambodia is expected to propose a management plan for the Preah Vihear temple and its buffer zone at the meeting, which ends on Aug 3.
The suggestion to boycott the meeting was made to force a postponement of WHC consideration of Cambodia's proposed management of Preah Vihear temple, as Thailand is among the commissioners.
"It doesn't do us any good if we boycott the meeting. If [the item] is tabled for consideration, we'll make an objection as we see it," the prime minister said.
Mr Suwit had told him that Cambodia would proceed with its unilateral management plan for the surrounding areas of Preah Vihear temple.
He said the minister - who met the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation director during a stopover in Paris - made it clear that Thailand would object, even though the proposal is said not to show the border demarcation between Thailand and Cambodia.
Mr Abhisit has asked Mr Suwit to keep the government informed about the WHC meeting so it can act promptly if the Thai delegation needs support.
"We have to lobby the international community on the issue and follow the meeting closely. I have also told Mr Suwit to inform the cabinet if he needs its support," he said.
The Thai delegation could meet the Cambodia delegation and inform them of the Thai government's stance.
Mr Abhisit said Thailand and Cambodia may compete for the chance to host a WHC meeting in the next two years. He said Thailand will propose to host the WHC meeting.

Mr.Abishit,you and your nation are so ignorance and annoying monkeys... "Preah-Vihear belong to Cambodia,it's on our land".It's on our land..Do you understand?
Preah Vihear is in CAMBODIA. How about Cambodia protest how Thialand manages Thialand. This is all a smoke screen issue in Thialand to distractt the people as to what is really going on. The Thai government is corrupt in all issues. Cambodia, do not rely on the UN. It is just as corrupt or more. Be prepared to stand on your own.
Thailand is not stable to hold any kind of meetings... This is country is fucked up now. There is no moral leadership in this country anymore... They have been a spoil brat and more of trouble maker than a peace maker in the neighborhood, now it is time the world body to let Thailand knows how we feel about them...
Abhishit jivava dog...SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE!!!! Khmer can do whatever we wanted, it's inside our lands dumbfucken shit!!!!!!!!!
Abishit just a jackass, that's it.
AH Abishit just say it just to get more vote so he can stay in power just a little longer!
At this point in time, any object from Thailand AH Abishit illegal government to Khmer sovereignty over proposed management of Preah Vihear temple is irrelevant!
First AH Abishit can't turn Khmer Preah Vihear temple into another Vatican city because Khmer Preah Vihear is located in Cambodia!
Second AH Abishit can't claim something that doesn't belong to Thailand in the first place!
Third the international map showed that Khmer Preah Vihear temple is located inside Cambodian territory!
This is the fact!
Since Hun Sen was a Khmer Rouge commander, now a Khmer Rouge leader and had many of his political opponents and journalists assassinated, I wonder if he have any plan to assassinate the Thai Prime Minister (Ahbullshit Vejjajiva)?
It has been more than 50 years already that Thailand didn't appeal...so, it too late!! 10 years had pass and gone!! Abhisit Vejjajiva can cry until his King drop death!!!!
Sue Thailand for abusing human right law. Thailand must stop discrimination against Cambodia.
