Thailand has established a border committee to decide whether to accept a treaty that some say gives away land to Cambodia.

The committee will consist of 30 Thais from the Senate and House of Representatives and is expected make a decision on the sensitive border issue in a month.

The latest border conflict between Thailand and neighbouring Cambodia over the ownership of land surrounding the ancient temple of Preah Vihear has been simmering for over two years.
