Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva is calling on Unesco to help defuse the border conflict between Thailand and Cambodia by delisting the Preah Vihear temple as a world heritage site and scrapping a Cambodian management plan for the temple.
Mr Abhisit said the two sides had come under pressure because of the listing and the management plan and this was the source of the problem.
It was therefore up to Unesco to ease the pressure stemming from the management plan, which is due to be tabled with the Unesco World Heritage Committee in June.
"I believe if Unesco manages to defuse tensions, the two sides would agree to hold talks without pressure. The two countries want their people on the border to live peacefully," Mr Abhisit said.
Mr Abhisit responded yesterday to a statement by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen that he did not want to enter into talks with Thailand over the issue and the conflict was a "real war", not an armed clash, by saying Cambodia wanted to intensify the tension because it was under pressure from its management plan for the Preah Vihear temple.
The prime minister brushed aside calls for intervention by a third country, particularly France, to resolve the border row. The conflict must be ended through bilateral mechanisms, he said.
There is no need for France to intervene as Asean is ready to play a role in supporting efforts to hold talks to end the conflict, Mr Abhisit said, adding he was confident the United Nations also wanted the two sides to hold negotiations.
Mr Abhisit stressed Thailand needed to ensure that the facts were presented to the international community.
He believed the international community would support bilateral efforts by the two countries to resolve the conflict once the facts were clarified.
Mr Abhisit said photos of Preah Vihear being used by Cambodian troops to mount attacks on Thailand would be of advantage to Thailand. The photos proved that Cambodia had failed to comply with its intention of listing the temple as a world heritage site.
Mr Abhisit said Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suwit Khunkitti and the head of the Thai-Cambodia Joint Boundary Commission (JBC), Asda Jayanama, would fly to Paris today to explain the border situation to Unesco director-general Irina Bokova.
Thailand insists Unesco should not consider the plan until a solution to the border conflict is found.
Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban yesterday denied that Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya accused Russia, India and China of taking sides with Cambodia in the conflict with Thailand. Mr Kasit made the statement at a seminar on the Thai-Cambodia conflict on Wednesday.
Mr Suthep said Mr Kasit might have talked about how divided a United Nations Security Council meeting could be in their support for Thailand and Cambodia.
Mr Suwit said yesterday the Foreign Affairs Ministry had told the Thai ambassador to France, as head of Thailand's permanent delegation to Unesco, to explain the facts to Unesco authorities.
He said he was also preparing information to explain to the Unesco director-general the adverse repercussions the listing of Preah Vihear as a world heritage site had had on relations between Thailand and Cambodia.
Mr Suwit said the listing of the temple was not in line with the requirements of the World Heritage Convention in that the border land where the temple is located is not clearly demarcated and no proper management plan is ready.
Most importantly, the Hindu temple is on an overlapping border area claimed by the two countries and the listing should have been given approval by both Thailand and Cambodia, Mr Suwit said. He also said the Unesco plan to send a mission to inspect the Preah Vihear temple must receive consent from Thailand.
Mr Suwit warned that Unesco could be seen as lacking neutrality by not obtaining Thailand's consent.
Second Army chief Thawatchai Samutsakhon yesterday said the border situation had improved since soldiers from the two countries had held their fire.
He said the JBC was expected to meet shortly for talks to find a solution to the border row and that villagers who fled their villages to escape fighting should be able to return home in the next few days.
The government yesterday issued a statement promising that it would not commit any acts of aggression and do its utmost to exercise restraint.
It said the government would take measures to help people affected by the clashes and to rebuild and repair their damaged properties.
The government said it would explain its intention to resolve the conflict peacefully at a UNSC meeting on Monday.
The government will ensure the border conflict does not affect the good relations between Thais and Cambodians.

When the fucken Cambodia-Thailand conflict was small and manageable and the ASEAN leaders take a back seat and sitting on their hand and allow the conflict to grow beyond the ASEAN ability to handle!
Now Thailand even use Cluster Bombs on Khmer-Hindu temple, Cambodian soldiers, and Cambodian people and what do these ASEAN leaders have to say? If the ASEAN leaders can’t even condemn Thailand for using illegal weapon and what is the fucken point for Cambodia to come to the table to negotiate with Thailand! Cambodia will not be victimized twice by Thailand and the ASEAN leaders!
Abhisit,you are the same ah Traitor Hun Xen!!!you say .White is black and Black is red and sooooooo!!The traitor Hun Xen always say that to his own people!!
To solve Cambodia-Thailand border conflict require the French involvement because the French kept meticulous record of the map regard to Franco-Siam treaty of 1904 and 1907! France is the signatory of the treaty and the French government have much to say in the matter regarding Cambodia-Thailand border conflict! Cambodia didn't sign the Franco-Siamese treaty of 1904 and 1907 and so Cambodia pursue any bilateral talk beside referring back to the Franco-Siamese treaty of 1904 and 1907. So it is logical to get French involvement in showing the fact about the map and the boundary between Cambodia and Thailand.
If the Thailand continue to deny the France help to solve the border conflict and it is because the Thailand want to hide the fact!
Abhisit is child, he blamed for other for what he has caused. If anyone believe him is stupid.
Abhisit is displaying childish logic with the international body. Abhisit should just talk for Thailand only, there is no pressure on Cambodian side in regard to the listing of PV, so stop being a naive nice talk that UNESCO caused the problem. Grow up Abhisit.....look yourself in the mirror it's you and your thais thugs that use this PV issue as your political tool at home. You think you can fool the world with your twisted mind and logic.....cheaters and liars think the same all your educations in oxford have come down to this blind greed of wanting what's not yours. Full of shit.
Why don't we bomb Bangkok to pieces and then call UN for Khmer to Co-run the city or nobody is live in peace!
Is this make sense of-course not. Is current Thai prime minister interfere with Khmer Preah Vihear make sense? No.
But, it is actually happen that Abhisit already calling the UN to delist Preah Vihear, now, bombing BKK is not happen yet... to be continue!

Damn sh*t, what part of don't you understand? No more bilateral talk!
ASEAN? What is that? UNSC is what we want!
If Khmer soldiers do not like F-16, shot the damn thing down!
พวกผู้นำต่าง ๆ ของประเทศเอเชีย สมองควายทั้งนั้น เขาทำอะไรเพียงแต่อยากให้เก้าอีตนเองให้ได้ยาวนานเท่านั้น
I think what Thailand want is to have this issue solving bilaterally. Any agreement during meeting between Cambodia and Thailand under Joint Border commission will need Thai parliament approval. If is not approved the JBC will meet again and find a compromised solution that Thai Parliament can accept. It is what Thai Prime Minister called the best solution for Thailand, but it might not be best for Cambodia.
Thai politicians behavior are like a small pamper kids. They thinks the world should go after their own vision.
It looks bad for Thailand under the Thai race.

This is a very good news for Sam Rainsy who is aligning with Thai Government to take control of Cambodia.
If Thai used Aircraft to support their army, and idiot HUN sen did not believe in Air power, Khmer will lose the fight.Aircraft or, the eye in the sky ,is a perfected tool used to pinpoint the artillery locations, tanks emplacement, troupe concentration, and therefore direct their artillery to strike with great accuracy on our force.
Why the fuck is my country ended up ruled by this mother fucker HUN SEN.Every time ,someone mentioned about the Thai plane, he always referred to the American planes during Vietnam War as if it's nothing.
2:31 PM, FUCK YOU and I hope that you get bomb by the Thai soon. Die FUCKEN KHMAEN.
1:44 PM, tell them Khmer used to see all old American weapon F16, F18....etc. Even American troop still be found in Cambodia. American bombardment in Cambodia is more than World War 2. Finally American soldiers still can stay in Cambodia and Vietnam. It is useless to use those to fright us.
These soldiers will soon be ghosts
Abhisit is dog of Abhimubal ayodei, when die go to the hell all.
ha ha
3:00PM
You will be shot right between your eyes you asshole by HUN SEN body guard someday, if you still support that yuon slave HUN SEN.
Hun Sen lost his ties with Vietnam as his son Hun Manet try to play a balance of powers with Korea and Japan business venture. Now that Thailand and Vietnam connection is lost.
Other players like Sam Rainsy can slay Hun Sen regime to end suffering of the people.
Yet HUN SEN YOU OWE ME MONEY YOU Son OF B***H...
Did you KNOW HUN MANET HAVE SEX WITH TEN GIRLS EACH NIGHT?
SOUNDS LIKE HE COULD DEFLOWER ALL THE VIRGINS IN CAMBODIA IN HIS LIFE TIME.... HHEHHEHEHh
PRAHA MAE BAESAIT!!!---AKA
Dear Dr. Hun Sen and Ten Thousands stars Dr. Hun Manet,
Why do you and your relatives give Kos Trol, sea and lands to Vietnam? Why? and Why?
Why do you and all of your relatives involve a lot of murder cases in Cambodia? Why? Why?
Why do you murder Cambodian K5, 1997 events and so on and so on with lost count? Why?
If you are so good why do you and your families murder Cambodians? Why? And Why?
If you are so good, why do above 90% Cambodians are so poor but you and your relatives are billionaires and millionaires? Why? Why?
Why do you try to kill people from telling the true? Why? Why?
What is the difference from Khmer Rough and you, Sir?
If you are so good why do you block KI from Cambodians?
If you are so good, why do you steal all Cambodian life such as well being, health, cut down Cambodians life expectancy as well? But you and your small group are eat well, sleep well, exercise well, have oversea doctors and best medical treatment from high class private doctors from oversea. Most Cambodians that have no money, your healthcare system left Cambodians patients to die in front of your hospital. Why? Why?
If you are so good why more than 6 millions Vietnamese are living permanently in Cambodia, right now? Why, Dr. Hen Sen? And Why
Everywhere, I walk in Cambodia I see Vietnamese speak Vietnamese every where, why? Why?
Don't you and your families scare of hell for eternity?
When you die can you bring all of your power and money with you?
Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Big ass lady and his beloved Dr. Hun Manet Please don't put us in jail or kill us for this! We want to live like you and your families do!
Khmers victim of 1997 and K5, Khmer Girl Ms. Rattana Keo
PS
If Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Hun Manet remove the tablet it is show they are extremely coward and his star are just joy stars given by his daddy not by patriotism. Dr. Hun Manet is very coward as his daddy they only aim to kill innocent Cambodians that all. Dr. Hun SEn and Dr. ten stars Hun Manet are very great at bullying Cambodians and killing Cambodians but cowardly toward Thai and Viet.
CPP are not just corrupted, CPP are extremely corrupt. They are even sell the country such as Kos Trol, Seas, lands, Cambodian people, Cambodian health and well being, all resources in the Cambodia…with lost count. You name it!
Seriously where is the win win policy of Dr. Hun Sen represent? The country is getting smaller and smaller and shame by Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Hun Manet and his families, his relatives and friends.
It would set a bad example if the Unesco pacify the THAI cry baby.
This is the most stupid thing Abhisit has ever thought of. This is a sign of how desperate and low a leader has become in terms of knowing his popularity with his own people has gone down the toilet. DELISTING a UNESCO HERITAGE SITE will solve the problem? And like you Thais can manage it better by dropping cluster bombs onto the temple and damaging it? Who are you Thais, a bunch of Talibans that have no culture and respect for monuments?
Abhisit make Thai call around the world down, please aske people in France?
JBC need to focus on the Temple area, but you heard this all the time and there was no results.
If Thai want to end the conflick, they need to speed up this process.
It doesn't take two years to do that. If there is a conflick on the map then you need a third party to break the tie.
There is no body in the world that more qualify for this roll than the French because they were the one who signed the treaty with Thailand.
They call it arbitration. This is how the civilized world do but for the jungle rules, you can use your guns and impose your wills on others. It looks like that what Thailand is going to do. They are not better than Burmese Gov. They block all International involment.
This is 1:50 PM said in Thai.
Their leaders of various Asian countries. Buffalo Degongnegn brain. He just wanted to do something themselves to nine e-lasting only.
Does it make sense to anyone ?
Abasit is threatening Cambodia and the world bodies to follow his demands or the war breaks out again. I doubt what is Thailand so important to the world while he is threatening to detroy the world law and no one do anything.
Tell to barbarian Abhisit ,khmer people use to see f16 ,F24 ,B52 USA every day before 1975,but just now khmer people want to live with peace with our neighbor,If Thai want to invade khmer country ,khmer people has no choice even we have a difference oppinion politic but we have one heart to protect our khmer ancestor land even we are near or far ,we have same heart to protect our mother land ,it's clear ?
Not too long EISEI TUMNEAY said when thai leaders lost humanity conscience and become barbarians BANGKOK break down and the blood flood every where.
Thailop Leader wants to revers UNESCO, the world body.
That is an brillient idea.
GO FOR IT!
what the fuck are these thugs doing digging trenches near our preah vihear temple, etc?
