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.

Both Gen. Chea Dara, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Cambodian Armed Froces and Gen. Srey Doek, commander of the Preah Vihear precinct as well as Gen. Chhum Socheat, spokesman for the Cambodian Defence Ministry, declined to comment on the military developments when contacted by a Khmer Sthapana journalist.

However Gen. Srey Doek told Deum Ampil on the morning of 22nd July that he had ordered the deployments of Cambodian troops to Mount 500 after Thai troops had sneaked in to set up camps inside Khmer territories overnight.

Gen. Srey Doek said this is a grave violation by the Thai side as both sides had agreed that there would be no troop movements in the area. He added that the Thai actions had caused a misunderstanding that may lead to armed clashes.

The general did not reveal how many Cambodian troops were sent to the area, but he said under one hundred.

However, news from the front line indicated that up until the night of 22nd July, the situations in the area remained calm.

  1. KHMER EMPIRE 200BC- 2009 AD Said,

    Should Cambodia and Thailand be the “Comity of Nations”?

  2. KHMER EMPIRE 200BC- 2009 AD Said,

    Should Cambodia and Thailand be the “Comity of Nations” ? The blatant answer would be >>> a triple…..NO, NO, NO. Throughout the Khmer history, each Cambodian knows that Thais are ruthlessly uncouth, malicious, and heinous to Khmer civilizations. They had once annihilated the Khmer Empire and still wanted avariciously hysterogenic of annexing the Khmer provinces into its kingdom. Are Cambodians traumatically haunted by the zombies of Thai aggressors ? Of course, they never forget the past nor this present day. vengefully belligerent ? possibly so!!!! As the laws of physics: things go up remain come down to its own gravity. Khmer Empire had reached its own zenith, but unfortunately did not succumb from its own sumptuous molecules, Thais premeditatedly annihilated to its glory. They looted every piece of stones and fearlessly crumbled every precious stones that they impossibly could not transport to its own kingdom. Can Khmer to abide these gruesome acts ? Absolutely no. Will these two nations shun violence to the future ? might be so, only if Thais to withdraw its troops from Khmer sovereignty. >>>>> Thanks to the French naturalist who triumphantly discovered the Khmer grandiose “ANGKOR” and had overwhelmingly disseminated the news to Europe. His discovery was astonishing the world and soulfully revitalize the new history of ANGKOR. Over a century-and-half ago after the death of Henry, the archaeological stalwarts around the world have flocked to Khmer kingdom to dig out the verity of “ANGKOR” and they astonishingly unveiled the ancient Khmer civilizations. What they had found through their archaeological research was that “ANGKOR WAT” is only the small sumptuous mausoleum of the King Jayvaraman VII. More important that the tomb is ANGKOR once was stretched a thousand mile throughout Southeast Asia which comprised of Cambodia, Vietnam, Lao, Burma, Thailand, and Malaysia. The recent hi-tech images were taken from outer space revealed to the contemporary archaeologists that “ANGKOR” was the largest preindustrial city with its populations reached 1,000,000 inhabitants. Additionally, the ancient Khmer had an ability to harness the sophisticated irrigational system effectively that other civilizations could never built. I am deeply thankful for our ancient stalwarts and Khmer kings who were indefatigably built ANGKOR for their new generations to learn our own ancestral past.>>>>What matters now with Thailand whose ancestors the squatter ? Mournfully jealous because of their ancestral past the thugs!!!! Should Cambodia bilaterally register PREAH VIHEAR with Thailand to UNESCO? Ostensibly murky. Using its military forces to conquer the world heritage ? Please, please,please. Is Thailand a civilized country, or full of arcanely heinous politicains ? BANGKOK is comprised of brothels, drugs, and stolen Khmer’s Angkorian precious carving stones. The facts that the more Thai nationals haunted by the Khmer ruins, the most likely that they will face truculently malicious to themselves. >>>>>What happens to their internally political stalemate ? More Thai troops to adjoining PREAH VIHEAR with modern sophisticated weaponry ? How about economic woe in its northeastern state: BURRIRAM. Since deployment and redeployment of its troops, the BURRIRAM national park has to be closed for security reasons. How about its southern state bordering with Malaysia ? Political uprisings and more likely to gain independence soon from Malaysia with sporadic bombs and suicide-bombers valorously intrepid of death. >>>>Ultimately, a few skirmish along the border conspicuously told Khmers that Thailand had lost the war. How about the pictures of weaponry above, don’t they show that Thailand has an ability to encroach the Khmer sovereigty ? Hell no, the Thai comrades just show off to impress its citizens to divert the facts about its internally political stalemate, economic woe, and distracting from pro-Thaksin vengeance. Will Thailand sustain its military powers by using these weaponry ? Only testing each superpowers militarily capable weaponry could adjudicate the history.

    it is easy to kill the Thai Hollywood soldiers, they lack of guerrilla war capability.
