Cambodia and Thailand are accusing each other of violating the other's territory in a resurgance of a row over temples along their border.
Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen accuses Thai soldiers of being thieves creating anarchy around border areas.
The Thai foreign ministry in return issued a statement protesting that Cambodian soldiers had violated Thailand's sovereignty by periodically occupying Ta Kwai temple in August and September.
Tensions flared in July after the Preah Vihear temple was awarded world heritage status by the UN, angering nationalists in Thailand who still claim ownership of the ancient Khmer temple.
Those tensions turned into a military standoff that saw up to 1,000 Cambodian and Thai troops facing off for six weeks, until both sides agreed to pull back in mid-August.
