Thai, Cambodian authorities brace for Hun Sen's visit to Ta Muen Thom ruins
Thai and Cambodian authorities were busy preparing and bracing themselves yesterday for what promised to be extremely awkward diplomacy, with Cambodia Prime Minister Hun Sen set to visit the Ta Muen Thom ruins in Surin.
"We will act in accordance with prescribed procedures as a host and Thai representatives will be present to welcome Hun Sen upon his arrival," Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said.
The ancient Khmer temple straddles a mountain pass on the border and its ownership is disputed by Cambodia despite a border marker.
Abhisit said the Cambodian leader would be accorded the hospitality given to any foreign visitor.
