Army commander Anupong Paojinda is playing down Sunday's clash with Cambodian forces along the border near the Preah Vihear National Park.
Gen Anupong yesterday said 2nd Army commander Weewalit Chornsamrit had held talks with Cambodia's 3rd supportive division commander, Lt Gen Sarai Duek, to clear the air.
There were no problems and both sides now understood each other's position, Gen Anupong said.
But a military source along the border said there were concerns that troops from the two countries might find it difficult staying in such close proximity to each other.
