Pongpol Adireksarn, chairman of Thailand's World Heritage Committee, Monday expressed concern that Cambodia may ask the United Nations to list Preah Vihear as a risky area.

Pongpol said such classification would allow the UNESCO World Heritage Committee to step in to preserve the ruins and supervise its management.
