Phnom Penh - The Cambodian authorities have replaced a stone tablet near Preah Vihear temple on the country's northern border after its inscription angered the Thai government, local media reported Wednesday.
The original stone tablet, which was sited near the temple last month, originally read: 'Here! Is the place where Thai troops invaded Cambodian territory on July 15, 2008, and withdrew at 10:30am on December 1, 2010.'
The new tablet simply states: 'Here! Is Cambodia.'
An anonymous Cambodian army officer stationed in the area confirmed the switch.
'I heard (the placement of the sign) was ordered by Prime Minister Hun Sen,' the officer told the Phnom Penh Post newspaper, which carried a photograph of the new tablet.
A senior Thai army official said last weekend that Thailand refused to accept the sign, and threatened to erect a similar tablet on the Thai side of the border if the offending message was not removed.
Tensions between the two Association of South-East Asian Nations members increased sharply after the UN cultural body UNESCO listed the 11th-century Hindu temple of Preah Vihear as a World Heritage Site for Cambodia. Thai nationalists claim the temple belongs to Thailand.
The replacement tablet comes just days after a group of Thai nationals - including ruling Democrat Party parliamentarian Panich Vikitsreth - were convicted of entering Cambodia illegally.
Five of them, including Panich, flew back to Thailand over the weekend. The two remaining Thais, including political activist Veera Somkwamkit, have yet to appear in court on spying charges, which carry a maximum 10-year term.
The Cambodian government has insisted the case would not affect relations between the two nations, and said the judicial process needed to take its natural course.

Its good to remove the " insulting stone". The thais have already leave the area, we don't need to put this sign insulting them. Hun sen was stupid to put this sign.
A PP resident.

Don't you and your families scare of hell for ethernity?

Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Big ass lady and his belove Dr. Hun Manet Please don't put us in jail or kill us for this! We want to live like you and your families do!
Khmers victim of 1997 and K5
PS
If Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Hun Manet remove the tablet it is show they are extremely coward and his star are just joy stars given by his daddy not by patriotism. Dr. Hun Manet is very coward as his daddy they only aim to kill innocent cambodians that all.
Asshole behind the monitors! If you're so tough and so strong, why don't you go to the border and fight ah siam, instead of running your fucking mouth. If the war breaks out, who dies, Khmer soldiers at the border or your damn families? Stupid refugees!
