The cabinet has told the Culture Ministry to inform Unesco that Thailand would not agree to it sending a team to inspect Preah Vihear temple at this time, acting government spokesman Panitan Wattanayagorn said on Tuesday.
Mr Panitan said the message would be passed on when special representatives from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) visit Thailand on a cultural exchange mission.
Unesco also plans to send officials to inspect what damage was done to world heritage site during the recent fighting in the disputed area between Thai and Cambodian troops.
The spokesman said the Thai trade exhibition would still open in Phnom Penh on Feb 17, when Deputy Prime Minister Trairong Suwannakhiri would have a chance to meet Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen to exchange opinions.
The cabinet also assigned Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suwit Khunkitti to attend the World Heritage Committee meeting in France, where he would stress that Thailand wants the listing of the Preah Vihear temple as a world heritage site put on hold.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva reported to the cabinet on the United Nations Security Council's call for Thailand and Cambodia to settle their conflict and reach a permanent ceasefire agreement.
Mr Abhisit expressed the hope Cambodia would resume cooperating with Thailand under various bilateral mechanisms - including the Joint Boundary Committee and Joint Committee on Thai-Cambodian cooperation, Mr Panitan said.
PM's Office Minister Ong-art Klampaiboon reported to the cabinet on the damage caused toThailand by the recent border clashes.
The prime minister assigned the interior and defence ministries to build more bunkers to shelter border villagers and to improve communication procedures and routes for emergency evacuations.

If the Thai government has the power to stop UNESCO to visit Preah Vihear temple, maybe they can prevent UNESCO to visit the Eiffel tower also. The Eiffel tower belongs to the Thai according to their katoey mindset.
KI Why don't you talk more about Kos Trol, Sea and lands that have been lost to Vietnam by who teaty.
Please educate khmer more about our real history. At Cambodia'school they don't teach about that at all.
Put more pictures about Kos Trol every week at least.
Ah Stupid Hor 5 Hong rejected Ban Ki Moon to close the UN office related to Khmer Rouge Tribunal in Phnom Penh for being tried in court as being a former Khmer Rouge Beung Trobek prison chief and now he will be rejected by UN Security Council for his broken English. This old Khmer Rouge fart needs to retire!!!!
Thai govt committed
faults in damaging Preah Vihear and surrounding it,but Thai did not admitt
that she was wrong.
Thai govt denied not
to let UNESCO to inspect the damage,
she just ignored.
How anyone in the world teach Thai,
Khmer,and Vietnam
to quit their bad
behaviors?
These three nations
have had evil deed toward each other for so long.
Cambodia should not hold any bilateral with unfaithful party because it has been done many rounds in the past and yield no result. Why continue talking with the crook. Cambodia is seeking trilateral talk this time. Let's see how it goes.
