Thailand's military chief has asked Cambodia to withdraw its soldiers from around a second Khmer ruin along their joint border, raising fears of a fresh territorial dispute.
General Boonsrang Niumpradit, head of Thailand's armed forces, said that he had asked his Border Affairs Department to pass on the message to Cambodian Defence Minster Tea Banh.
The ruins of Ta Muen Thom, known as Ta Moan Thom in Cambodia, lie 130 kilometers west of the more well-known Preah Vihear temple, where more than 1,000 Thai and Cambodian troops have been stationed since a border dispute erupted last month.
