Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva interpreted a letter from the Cambodian king's adviser as a welcome gesture, saying the idea to make the Preah Vihear a symbol of reconciliation between the two countries sounded good.
"The Preah Vihear has historical and cultural values which could create peace and reconciliation between the people of two countries," he said.
"But if we take advantage of the issue for territorial boundary purposes, people on both sides won't accept it."
The Thai government has objected to the world heritage inscription on the Preah Vihear for fear of territory loss in the disputed areas adjacent to the temple.
