BANGKOK, Feb 9 (MCOT online news) - Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva telephoned United Nations secretary-general, reiterating to him that Thailand has exercised utmost restraint in dealing with its neighbour and that Cambodia had began firing at the Thai troops first, according to a senior foreign ministry official.
Chavanond Intarakomalyasut, secretary to the Thai Foreign minister, said the Thai premier called UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon Tuesday evening.
During the 20-minute talk, Mr Abhisit reaffirmed to the world body chief that Thailand has used the utmost restraint in negotiating with Cambodia on the border dispute, but the clash occurred because the neighbour opened fire at Thai troops first and Thailand had to retaliate proportionally.
On the contrary, Mr Chavanond said, the premier told Mr Ban that some 16,000 Thais living along the border have had to evacuate their houses as they were targeted by Cambodian troops, but Khmer people are not the target of the Thai soldiers.
Mr Abhisit also urged the UN chief to reconsider the listing of the ancient Preah Vihear temple as a World Heritage Site of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as it ignited the conflict between the two kingdoms, said Mr Chavanond.
Mr Chavanond stated Mr Abhisit told Mr Ban that if the World Heritage agency goes ahead with the management plan, it will intensify the tension, saying that the UN chief reaffirmed that he will discuss the incident and its solution with UNESCO to prevent further tension.
The secretary-general added that the Thai prime minister also informed Mr Ban about the talks between Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya, his Cambodian counterpart Hor Namhong and Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa to encourage bilateral talks to resolve the problem under the support of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)
Mr Chavanond said the UN chief said he would also discuss resolving the problem at the bilateral level with the United Nations Security Council, which Cambodia has petitioned regarding the latest fighting.
In response to Cambodian moves in international arena, Mr Chavanond said, the Thai foreign ministry will dispatch former Thai ambassador to the United Nations Assada Chaiyanam, in his capacity as chairman of the Thailand-Cambodia Joint Boundary Commission (JBC), to Paris to clarify and create better understanding about the matter with UNESCO.
Mr Assada will bring all related documents and evidence to present at UNESCO and is scheduled to leave Bangkok on Friday, said Mr Chavanond, adding that a special representative will also be appointed to talk with 21 nations who are members of the World Heritage Committee.

The Khmer soldiers will not afraid to protect the Khmer-Hindu temple with their life and to show their great respect for Hindu religion!
Many great monuments big and small are built in dedication to Hindu God and it is clear evident all over Cambodia even in Thailand and Laos which were once part of Khmer empire!
It is the Siem military thugs who are destroying the Khmer-Hindu temple by firing directly at the temple with mortars and guns and to show their great disrespect for Hindu religion!
The young siamese leader musts pay the price. first he has to assure in his power to stay in his position, secondly, the king has been prepared a coups attamp again him, only if he fails to capture Khmer's Prasat Preah Vihear, this is always about Siamese politic, trying to diverse the bad Siamese face then restart to have a new soft relation with Khmer with a new Govt face.
In this reason he musts ignoring any Cambodian right of ownership to Prast Preah Vihea, in order to capture it ilegally then he will embrace by the King phumibol his name becomming a Siamese leader horo in the 21th century. I am telling you fithing with Khmer should think twice, otherwise you're always becomming a COYOTY!
Down to you Ah Siam!!!

Started a war with Cambodia, bombarding temple of Preah Vihear (if I Thai can not have it, created an opportunity to destroy itt), and yet Thai firmly told UN they are restrain. Folks, we have to be united, be educated, be economically and financially strong or we will be pushed around forever. Thai is a creature that only pick the fight with someone smaller and weaker. Their soldiers have been killing un-arm civilian around their borders, and this is not restrict just Khmer, but other refugee such as Burma/Myamar for as long as i can rememer.
