Here is the latest Bangkok Post article commented from Thai PM Abhisit Vejjajiva attacking Cambodian indirectly point by point. This is call hidden verbal attack and it is very effective ways to embed information so that international community aware of the situation and let the world knows that Thailand is in charge here.
"Mr Abhisit insisted that Thai soldiers would stay in their present locations to protect the areas Thailand considers its territory". He said the court's order for a troop withdrawal concerns many people in both Thailand and Cambodia. "Mr Abhisit said the demilitarised zone drawn up by the ICJ covers an area of 17.3 square kilometres and reaches deeper into both sides of the watershed line that Thailand viewed as its border with Cambodia". "According to Mr Abhisit, the DMZ comprises 8.5 sq km of Thai soil and 8.8 sq km of Cambodian soil". "The Thai part includes 4.5 sq km of the 4.6-sq km disputed area surrounding Preah Vihear temple". He want to ensure the next government carry on the dispute area claimed by Thailand.
"According to Mr Abhisit, Cambodia would have to pull about 4,000 soldiers from the zone if it is to honour the court's provisional measure. The number of Thai soldiers to be pulled out was much smaller, he said". "The PM indicated that a process must be established to assure that Cambodia would not send its military personnel to the DMZ again. This includes a means to detect if soldiers are sent into the area in civilian guise". "Mr Abhisit said it would be necessary to check if Cambodians who live in the disputed area are really civilians". As you can see Thailand clearly stands in control over Cambodia's activities. These information will be embedded in the mind of the reader. PM Hun Sen needed to response but I am sure that his advisors will think though before responding.

Thank you Warrior Blood for sharing the information. I wonder what right did Thailand has to inspect Cambodian if it was civillian living in the area or not? Civilian disguise? ICJ didnt gave them the authority; it gave authority to both countries to report back to ICJ on the progress of the order. Did PM Hun Sen agreed? I doubt that he agreed without Cambodia has the same rights.
