Thailand Sends 3,000 More Troops to Preah Vihear Temple Area

21 February 2011 -- everyday.com.kh in Cambodian language

According reports from the Preah Vihear Temple area, Thailand has dispatched 3,000 more troops to the area, after being furious with Cambodian military commanders disallowing it to station its troops at Kev Sikha Kiri Svarak Pagoda.

The troops reinforced by Thailand are perhaps intended to pressure Cambodia into agreeing to its proposal asking to redeploy troops at the Pagoda.

Cambodian troops said that they did not feel scared at all by the Thai troops increase, because the deployment took place in their territory. They were only asked not to trespass on Cambodia's land.
