JAKARTA Feb 22 (Reuters) - Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to allow Indonesian military and civilian observers to monitor a disputed border area that has been the scene of bloody clashes since 2008, a meeting of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) foreign ministers said on Tuesday.
Marty Natalegawa, foreign minister of Indonesia which is the current chair of the regional bloc, told a news conference that the observer plan would be prepared for final agreement within hours.
An international court awarded the temple to Cambodia 49 years ago but Thailand also lays claim to a 4.6 sq km (1.8 sq mile) patch of land near it.

Why do Kos Trol, sea and lands proximately over 10 000 km2 have been lost to Vietnam by who treaty? Why don’t Cambodia goverment transparencies explain to Cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?
Cambodian armies are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 and what's about over 10 000km2 of Cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian armies you are decide the fate of your nation, Cambodian army as well as Cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?
Kos Trol, Sea and lands over 10 000km2 have been lost to Vietnam by who treaty at 1979 to 1985 treaty! Treaty! Cambodian army at front line as well as all Cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are Cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protect a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group rather in the real name of protecting Khmer nation?
Cambodian army at front line suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition, their families have no health care help, no securities after they die but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning with young girls message, have super health care from oversea medical treatment, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make Cambodian people suffer everyday as Cambodian people know already.
Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that result lost over 10 000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why don't they transparency inform all Cambodian and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't include Kos Trol (Kos Trol size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen and bigger than Singapoor with heap of great natural resources) in education system in Cambodia.
Look at Hun Sen families, relatives; friends are billionaires, millionaires where do they get the money from if we all just get out of war with empty hands? Hun Sen always say in his speech Cambodia just get up from war, just get up from Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% innocent Cambodian people are so poor struggling with living every day.
Smart Khmer girl Ms. Rattana Keo,
ខ្មែរមិនគួរយកអ្នកសង្កេតការតែម្នាក់ទេ គឺត្រូវទាមទាររកគ្នាច្រើន យើងចាញ់ល្បិចសៀមហើយ។
The key word is "ceasefire" But there is no permanent ceasefire. so Thailand is in upper hand to manneuver.
And what Cambodian troops are going to react when Thai troops walk into the Temple either Preah vihear or Wat Sakrivaram. They don't start fire but Cambodian troops do fire first because Thai's troops still keep coming.
Technically Cambodian troops break the ceasefire first. Can Indonesian observers agree that Cambodian troops have no other choice to stop Thai troops encroaching???
I could see Indonesian observers are not going to sleep and sit well at the hot spot since there is no ceasefire there.
I hope this issue has been raised at the Asean Meeting.
I agree with you on that, but the detail have to nail out.
As part of the cease fire, there is no troop movement on both sides that should take care of your concern.
