The situation along the Thai-Cambodian border is still calm without fresh military movements after the Cambodian leader's aggressive remark against Thailand on the border dispute issue.
Thailand and Cambodia have not deployed more troops around the Preah Vihear Temple yet despite the reported aggressive statement made by Cambodian PM Hun Sen that he will order his troops to shoot whoever trespasses on Cambodian land. The atmosphere at the border area in Si Sa Ket's Kantharalak district is still quiet with Thai troops keeping security there.
Meanwhile, residents of Kantharalak's Phumisarol village close to the Thai-Camobdian carry on with their daily activities as usual without concern over a possible clash between Thai and Cambodian troops.
At the border area of Tamuen Thom and Tamuen Kwai temples in Surin province, Thai and Cambodian security forces still carry out their regular patrols along the border. No sign of tension has been seen so far.
