(BangkokPost.com) - Hundreds of supporters of People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) gathered in front of the Foreign Ministry on Wednesday morning to demand the government to clarify the Preah Vihear temple's borders.
The move came after the cabinet approved the new map of the ancient temple, clearing the way for Cambodia to propose the temple to Unesco as a World Heritage site.
The temple has been a magnet for conflicts in decades as Thailand and Cambodia have fought over its ownership.
About 200 police officers were at the ministry to step up security.
Traffic in front of the Sri Ayutthaya was heavily congested as the protesters blocked the four-lane street.

Let's not allowed the stupid 4 sqKm to keep everyone under poverty, shall we, brother Khmer-Thai?
What is Thailand trying to do? does Thailand respect court's decision?. If Thailand still wants to go, Cambodia will go on also about Cambodian's land which was up to Bankok. Think about, too.
typical thai or siem's trickery. be wary, cambodia!
