Thailand's Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya will brief the UN Security Council next week on a deadly border dispute with Cambodia.
Both countries have been invited by the United Nations to explain the situation.
Mr Kasit's secretary Chavanond Intarakomalyasut says a meeting with Cambodia's foreign minister Hor Namhong in New York was "possible", without providing more details.
The two last met on Friday, just hours before the fighting erupted.
Cambodian government spokesman Ek Tha says he is not sure on who will represent Cambodia.
He also says Cambodia's government does not have confidence in bilateral talks with Thailand.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has contacted both governments offering to help negotiate an end to military clashes near the ancient temple of Preah Vihear.
Thailand has said it sees no need for third-party mediation.
There's been a lull in the violence since three Thais and eight Cambodians were killed in clashes that started last Friday.
At least 34 Thais and 55 Cambodians have been wounded.

Now UN take the issue to solve, but it will be a long way. Thailand will press hard, not too accept any resolution if the council issue any. And then Cambodia might try to have ICJ to clarify the verdict, because Thailand has argued the 1962 verdict was only for the temple but not the boundary. And as previous claim by Thai foreign ministry that the clarification of the verdict is not a legal bidding. that means Thailand will obey. Everything will depends on diplomatic skill of Cambodia government.
[correction] * that means thailand will not obey.
