Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban Monday denied that Thai troops had encroached on Cambodian territory as alleged by Phnom Penh.
He admitted that Thai troops had been deployed to defend Thai territory along the border but the troops had not encroached upon Cambodian territory.
Suthep said Cambodia had its rights to deploy troops to be on alert along the borderline as long as the troops would not encroach on Thai soil.
The deputy prime minister said the situation has not yet warranted the closure of border checkpoints along Thai-Cambodian border.
