Cambodian troops stationed along the Cambodian-Thai border have been ordered to be on high alert after there are reports that Thailand had reinforced troops to the area. The two neighbours are at odd again after the Unesco Summit in Paris had agreed to submit Cambodia's Preah Vihear Management Plan for consideration against strong objections from the Thai delegation.
Cambodian troops stationed at the Ta Krabey temple area in Kork Kposs commune, Banteay Ampil district in Oddar Meanchey province, said they have been ordered to be on high alert in the last 2 days after there are unconfirmed reports that Thai troops had planned to re-launch another attack on Cambodian troops in the area.
On the Preah Vihear front, about 150 km from Ta Krabey temple, a Cambodian soldier said that since Monday 27th June, Cambodian commanders in the area had also ordered Cambodian troops to be on high alert in the event of an attack by Thai troops.
Another soldier from Ta Krabey temple area said Cambodian troops have been ordered to be on high alert, but they have not seen any unusual movements of Thai troops yet and the situations in the area are still calm.
On Monday, Prime Minister Hun Sen publicly declared that when the Thai delegation walked out of Unesco convention in Paris, they have whispered to ambassadors from a number of countries that Thailand will use force to attack Cambodia. He said later, some of those ambassadors had whispered this threat to Cambodian delegation. However, there is no independent confirmation of this Thai threat. But, as a precautionary measure, he had ordered Cambodian troops along border in Preah Vihear and Oddar Meanchey provinces to be ready to defend Cambodian territory after there are rumours that Thai troops had planned to launch attacks on Cambodian troops in July after the Thai delegation had walked out of the World Heritage Convention in Paris earlier this week in protest against Unesco's decision to submit Cambodia's Preah Vihear Management Plan for consideration.

Khmerization if you could remove my first comment it would be very thankful. Mike
sorry remove second comment.
Thailand tactics is no coincidence; Thailand planned these events. Thailand walked out of WHC is planned; Thailand accused Cambodia this and that are planned. Thailand doesnt want to recognize ICJ ruling in 1962 is planned. Thailand accused Cambodia shooting at them first is planned. Thailand want to recaputre Phreah Vihea and Cambodia possibly. Thailand agenda is to reconquer Cambodia. I am sure the next government will do but I hope that they have different agenda. However if Abhisit government remain in power, these threats are real. Cambodian needs to prepare for the worse.
Totally agree with Warrior Blood! Thailand has planned these events. Thailand not only want preah vihear area alone...Thailand even want to recapture Battambang, Siem Reap, Banteay MeanChey, O'dor MeanChey, remembered Thailand claims that their(Thai) border is at PURSAT Province..?
Bullshit! Bullshit!, impossible? Dream on fool!
