Thai Army chief Gen Anupong Paojinda (pictured) made a visit to the Thai-Cambodian border area near Preah Vihear temple on Tuesday morning.

His trip followed reports reported Cambodia had sent reinforcements of troops, 130mm artillery pieces and T-54 tanks to the border.

News media in Cambodia earlier reported there were unusual movements of Thai troops in expectation that the situation would become tense after Thailand asked the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) to review the registration of the Preah Vihear temple as a world heritage site.

Cambodian Foreign Minister Hor Namhong also said his country was ready for any situation which might follow the reinforcement of troops on the Thai side of the border.
