The death toll from three days of clashes between Thai and Cambodian troops over a disputed border area housing two ancient temples has reached 12, according to military officials.
The two latest deaths occurred during an outbreak of fighting late on Sunday.
On Monday, a precarious calm was holding but troops from both sides remained on high alert.
Indonesia's foreign ministry said its head Marty Natalegawa was in "intense" talks with both sides to mediate the conflict. Mr Natalegawa was due in Cambodia on Monday but the ministry said the trip was postponed because he is still negotiating terms on sending in military observers - a move Thailand has vehemently rejected.
Mr Natalegawa is the current chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
