Top brass of Thai and Cambodian armed forces signed a ceasefire agreement on Saturday, reports said.
Army chief-of-staff Daopong Rattanasuwan, 2nd Army Region commander Thawatchai Samutsakhon, Directorate of Border Affairs former chief Nipat Thonglek and Suranaree Task Force commander Chavalit Choonprasarn met Royal Cambodian Army deputy commander and Prime Minister Hun Sen's son Hun Manet and other top Cambodian military officials at a restaurant in Chong Sangam, opposite Surin province, to discuss the ceasefire deal.
Lt Gen Thawatchai said briefly that the negotiations went well.
According to the agreement, the two sides must stop exchanging fire and deploying more troops and artilleries in the border. They must not construct anything in the disputed border area and army commanders at all levels from both sides must contact each other regularly to prevent any misunderstanding.
The number of soldiers at the border will remain unchanged until further agreements are made.
Reports said Hun Manet (pictured) asked the Thai side why the government allowed certain groups and media to criticise his father rudely. He said the problems were partly caused by them.

Why do Kos Trol, sea and lands proximately over 10 000 km2 have been lost to Vietnam by who treaty? Why don’t Cambodia goverment transparencies explain to Cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?
Cambodian armies are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 and what's about over 10 000km2 of Cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian armies you are decide the fate of your nation, Cambodian army as well as Cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?
Kos Trol, Sea and lands over 10 000km2 have been lost to Vietnam by who treaty at 1979 to 1985 treaty! Treaty! Cambodian army at front line as well as all Cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are Cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protect a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group rather in the real name of protecting Khmer nation?
Cambodian army at front line suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition, their families have no health care help, no securities after they die but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning with young girls message, have super health care from oversea medical treatment, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make Cambodian people suffer everyday as Cambodian people know already.
Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that result lost over 10 000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why don't they transparency inform all Cambodian and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't include Kos Trol (Kos Trol size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen with heap of great natural resources) in education system in Cambodia.
Look at Hun Sen families, relatives; friends are billionaires, millionaires where do they get the money from if we all just get out of war with empty hands? Hun Sen always say in his speech Cambodia just get up from war, just get up from Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% innocent Cambodian people are so poor struggling with living every day.
Smart Khmer girl Ms. Rattana Keo,
Don't ever trust Thailand! This sign agreement didn't meant shit! Unless UN or ASEAN sign with you to be our witness...
Cambodia make sure Asean leader sign or put initial in the paper, just to be our witness...
