Negotiations between Thailand and Cambodia over Preah Vihear have stumbled over the spelling of the name of the famed ancient temple.
A Thai official said yesterday officials of the Thai-Cambodian Joint Boundary Commission were trying to find a way around the problem so border negotiations could proceed.
Vasin Teeravechyan, who chairs the commission, said a solution acceptable to the two countries would be found.
Thailand insists on using “the Temple of Phra Viharn-Preah Vihear” on documents used in the negotiations. Cambodian officials strongly object, saying Preah Vihear is internationally accepted.
Mr Vasin, who is a retired Foreign Ministry official, said the name proposed by Thailand was very common in international negotiations on the issue.
The Temple of Phra Viharn-Preah Vihear has been approved by parliament for the framework negotiations with Cambodia. Thailand will use it in documents to be signed with Cambodia.
The meeting will be concluded today.
The two countries have been unable to settle on a plan to reduce troops in the disputed area which covers 4.6 square kilometres between Kantharalak district in Si Sa Ket and the Cambodian province of Preah Vihear.
Mr Vasin refused further comment on the issue. But earlier he said Cambodia had told the meeting it had no soldiers stationed in the area.
The Cambodia delegation is led by Senior Minister Var Kim Hong.
Despite the disagreement over the name of the temple, the two countries will set up another team to survey the borderline for demarcation between Nam Yuen district in Ubon Ratchathani and Phu Sing district in Si Sa Ket, which is 195km long.
Thailand and Cambodia have already formed a survey team to study the disputed area near the ancient temple which was the scene of a military clash last year.
A plan to reduce the number of soldiers near the disputed area is expected to be included in talks when Defence Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan visits Phnom Penh on Friday.

Prevarication of Cambodian history in the international crime. The vicinity of Preah Vihear and the temple was already solved at the adjudication of the international court in June 15, 1962. Let bring back Thaksin to Thailand so that both countries would live in serenity.
Where in the world is Thaksin Shiniwitra at ? Thais need you to replace Abhisit right now. You have been a great leader of Thais at most of the time. Cambodians always support you as a magnificent leader among Thai leader at all time. With your leadership, Cambodia always stay at peace with Thailand. Cambodians need you to be a Thai leader once again. Come to visit PM Hun Sen is you have time. Cambodia is always welcomed you at all time.

Thailand right now is a state of emergency, a state of bomb blast and a state of colony of foreign death.
Who the hell told you that Preah Vihear is belong to Thailand? Down with your Thai-no-land. THIEF…. I think your entire population are thieves from TOP TO BOTTOM.
