THAILAND-CAMBODIA BORDER: Defensive preparations are being made in some Thai border towns, just kilometres away from where the two countries meet – with bunkers set up in recent months as a part of Thai villagers' defence strategy.
Such anti-artillery bunkers reflect the rising tension between Thailand and Cambodia, especially along the border. Relations are at an all-time low for a variety of reasons.
A 4.6-kilometre parcel of land near Preah Vihear temple is still disputed.
