Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has on Saturday morning arrived at the Ko Mui village nearby the Preah Vihear ancient temple, an informed source said.

It was reported that the commander of Army Region 2 Lt-Gen Weewalit Jornsamphan would be present at the border area of Si Sa Ket province to greet the Cambodia leader.

The Thai soldiers have set up barbed-wire at the entrance road to the Khao Preah Vihear temple national park in order to prevent people from trespassing to the disputed area.

They were ordered not to allow any people to go to the national park while Hun Sen was visiting the disputed area to prevent problem from taking place.

Veera Somkwamkid, a core leader of the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD), insisted on Saturday that he would not lead PAD members to protest against Hun Sen as earlier planned.

Deputy Prime Minister for security affairs Suthep Thaugsuban said on Friday that he hoped Mr Veera would drop his plan to lead PAD members in a protest against Hun Sen during the visit.

“Mr Veera should refrain from causing more problems as it is the responsibility of the government to settle border disputes with our neighbour,” Mr Suthep said.
