Thai and Cambodian soldiers have pulled out from a temple in disputed territory in a bid to ease border tensions.
soldiers from each country positioned at Wat Kaew Sikha Khiri Sawara near the 11th century Preah Vihear temple withdrew from the area on Dec 1.
The Thai troops moved back to a lowland location, which is part of the 4.6-square-kilometre disputed area, while the Cambodian soldiers are now stationed at the entrance of the ancient temple.
Only 40 Cambodian monks remain at Wat Kaew Sikha Khiri Sawara following the troop pullout.
