No [Thai] troop withdrawal from Preah Vihear temple: Thai army chief

Thai army chief Gen Prayuth Chan- ocha on Monday denied reports saying that Thai and Cambodian troops have agreed to withdraw their troops from the border areas surrounding the disputed ancient Preah Vihear temple.

He said it was just an adjustment of force deployment along the border near the Hindu temple in a bid to avoid confrontation and this followed Cambodia's demilitarization.

"It was only an adjustment and there was no agreement between both countries. The military is authorized to force adjustment but troop withdrawal rests with the government," the army chief said before leaving to the neighboring Cambodia.


Along with Region 1 (North) Army Commander Lt Gen Udomdet Setabut and Region 2 (Northeast) Army Commander Lt Gen Tawatchai Samutsakorn, Prayuth left for Cambodia to pay courtesy visit as a newly appointed army chief of Thailand.

When asked whether the border dispute would be raised or not, the army chief responded not only dispute but also good relationship between both countries, particularly military collaboration and other boundary cooperation, would be discussed.

The 900-year-old Preah Vihear temple and its surrounding area has been an age-old territorial dispute between the Thailand and Cambodia for more than half a century. Even after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) decided to award the temple to Cambodia in 1962, the row over the land plot of 4.6 square kilometers around the temple has never been resolved.

The border dispute flared up again July 2008 when the temple was enlisted as a World Heritage site, triggering a military build- up along the border, and periodic clashes between Cambodian and Thai soldiers have resulted in the deaths of troops on both sides.

Government, supposed to protect and serves people. Instead, the cpp steal from the people, kills people, oppresses people.

Worst than that, the cpp do it to protect themself, and help youns ( modern term for vietnamese ).

The traitors are all low life, and thickskin.

Thai destroyed Khmer market at Thai- Khmer border never paying back.
Thai soldiers are still staying on 4.6 quare miles near Preah Vihear.
Hun Sen and Chea Dara do nothing.
They are so afraid of Thai govt.
Thai govt and Thai people are jealous with Viet;if Viet can encroach Khmer land,so can Thai.
Thai and Viet never give up to take over Khmer and Khmer land.
Read Khmer history,Viet history,and Thai history.
After the Khmer empire declined,these two greedy countries
always encroached Khmer land,and killed people.
Lao keeps quiet,but do not trust Lao.When Khmer fought with Viet and Thai,Lao got some piece of Khmer land too.Few Lao provinces,they took from Khmer.
No any countries around Cambodia are nice to her.
Khmer must stand up tall like Israel,if Khmer want survive as Khmer.
