Major General Vivalit Jonsomrit the deputy commander of Army Region 2, has stated troops deployment along Thai and Cambodian border at the Preah Vihear Temple area was more discipline and strict in the regiments to prevent recurring of unintentional clashes between both nation’s troops.

He made the statements during his chairing the royal bathing ritual of the corpse of volunteer ranger, Bunrit Kanti, who died from being ambushed. The ceremony took place on October 21.
