Thai troops are threatening to remove a stone tablet on disputed land carrying a message calling Thai soldiers "invaders" if Cambodian authorities do not do it themselves, a military border source says.
Second Army commander Thawatchai Samutsakhon has asked Cambodian troops to remove the tablet bearing the Khmer message accusing Thai troops of invading Cambodian territory, in front of Wat Kaew Sikha Khiri Sawara.
The temple, about 300 metres from Preah Vihear, is in a disputed 4.6-square-kilometre area claimed by both countries.
