Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon and army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha will not attend the 8th General Border Committee meeting with Cambodia.

Referring to the meeting, scheduled for Bogor, Indonesia, on April 7-8, Gen Prawit said: "No, I'm not going. Why should I go for the meeting in a third-party country? [Thailand and Cambodia] know each other well enough and don't want any other party to get involved."
A military source said Gen Prawit had also decided not to attend an earlier GBC meeting in Indonesia proposed by Cambodia and the Asean chair.
Gen Prawit cited the same reason then, saying relations between the Cambodian and Thai armies were good enough for the border dispute to be resolved through bilateral mechanisms, said the source.
According to the source, Gen Prawit said he would seek to have talks with his Cambodian counterpart, Gen Tea Banh, but was concerned the latter would not agree, since Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen had made it clear he would not allow any new bilateral discussions with Thailand.
Gen Prayuth also said Cambodia's proposal to set up 15 joint border checkpoints in the disputed 4.6-square-kilometre area near Preah Vihear temple was unnecessary, as he believed the dispute could be solved through military talks.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said yesterday that Unesco would push for Thailand and Cambodia to attend a meeting on border issues in May.
He was speaking after a meeting with Unesco director-general Irina Bokova.
The May talks are aimed at improving the understanding between the two countries before Unesco holds its World Heritage Committee (WHC) meeting in Paris a month later.
There, the WHC will discuss Cambodia's management plan for Preah Vihear.
The meeting was scheduled for Bahrain but switched to Paris when political unrest erupted there.
Mr Abhisit also said bilateral talks through the Thai-Cambodian Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) remained crucial to deter attempts to turn the border issue into a multilateral matter.
To allow the JBC mechanism to move forward, the parliament's endorsement on the three JBC memos under the 2000 MoU regarding border issues was needed, he said.
Meanwhile, the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) said it would petition the National Anti-Corruption Commission to investigate Mr Abhisit and the other concerned people over allegations they had violated Sections 157, 119 and 120 of the Constitution by not revoking the MoU.
PAD spokesman Parnthep Pourpongpan said the alliance would also petition the Constitution Court to interpret if the MoU was in breach of the charter.
The health of Thai Patriots Network coordinator Veera Somkhwamkid, jailed for eight years in Cambodia after being found guilty of espionage and illegal entry to the country on Dec 29, is said to have vastly improved.
His younger brother, Preecha Somkhwamkid, visited Veera at Prey Sar prison in Phnom Penh on Monday and reported that his condition was much better after a recent bout of ill health.

this thai doesn't care about the asean and thai applause for it .
cambodia should teach thai that they can't win on the battlefield nor in the international arena but how to do it? lao people did in 1988 with the help of the territory army.
if any country in this planet can drawn their own map to invade the other country that is the chaos any map have to b recognise internationally .
Gen. hun manet don't be fooled by ah siem or thai. Make them pay for the damage they caused to the temple.
something gone wrong in thai medical profession it seem the day gone by more thai psychos becoming or not enough psychologist to deal with patients it look like haft of the population is psychos or to b one
cambodian government should mobilize 50,000 more troops for this course (volunteers for the motherland) .this never end thailand not respect the world court verdict not honor the 1904 1907 treaty what else thailand respect. the only thing thailand respect is bigger rockets . too much talking nothing been done if Mr hun sen can't do somebody else can let younger generation do it.go one for all and all for one .
fighting is not the solution but may be the only way to bring the attention to the world community after the few f16 fall from the sky damage the airport a few village along the border wipe out by the rockets see what else thailand do .
first cambodia get 150 units bm 30 or phl-03 .
secondly modern SAM
thirdly long range rockets can reach any part of thailand .
laos can teach thailand why not cambodian.
thai's respect bullets of rule of laws .
The case should have been sent to ICJ in the place.We have lived with this mad-dog Thailand nation long enough to know their disgusting behaviour.
In their eyes, they see Cambodian government and Cambodian commanders are stupid , weak and incompetent,which is true, easy to fool that is why they brush aside all the third party or proper court procedures,but prefer to have a bilateral talk ,dinner talk,wine ; whisky and hotel talk,carrot and stick talk and so on and it is working for Thai. The next thing Thai would do is buying all of those commanders along the border. That is it. Peaceful solution is solved. Happy ending. No gun shot.
The ICJ is designed to solve this mater,so why do Hanoi-puppet-installed-government,waiting for?
Do they care about national interest?,in fact they do not. They want to prolong this case so that all Khmer will unite just under one banner,which is Hun's and Hanoi's ones .
Now you could see Hanoi enjoy full-scale of colonising;grabbing Khmer assets; Vietnamization and encroaching Khmer land.No one is allowed to talk about these thing.
At the end of the games
In twenty years time their will be 10 millions Viet who have full right to vote,the ground is shifted.(Phnom Penh now looks like Viet Capital.) Khmer will lost,(you see farmers and poor people are being pushed out of their farm land for big Hanoi's companies.),Hun's clan and their cronies will lost. It's Hanoi will win the Jack pot.Mission is accomplished.
"Easy",said Hanoi Grand designer in his drawing room.
