Credit: Reuters/Stringer By Prak Chan Thul PHNOM PENH | Sat Apr 23, 2011 3:10am EDT PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - Fresh fighting between Thai and Cambodian troops on Saturday killed at last one Thai soldier, raising the number of dead on both sides to eight in two days in the worst bloodshed since the United Nations called for a ceasefire in February. Thousands of villagers have been evacuated from the thick, disputed jungle border area around the Ta Moan and Ta Krabey temples, about 150 km (93 miles) west of the 900-year-old Preah Vihear temple, which saw a deadly four-day standoff in February. Thai army Lieutenant General Thawatchai Samutsakorn said one Thai soldier had been killed. At least 13 soldiers were wounded, according to the local Phnom Dongrak hospital. That followed the deaths of four Thai and three Cambodian soldiers on Friday. Cambodian officials have not commented on recent casualties but journalists monitoring army radio in Banteay Ampil, about 15 km (nine miles) from the fighting, told Reuters that a Cambodian soldier had been killed and two were wounded. The latest clash began before dawn west of Ta Krabey in the Dangrek Mountains and lasted several hours. By afternoon, heavy shelling had stopped but small-arms fire could be heard, witnesses said. Sovereignty over the ancient, stone-walled Hindu temples -- Preah Vihear, Ta Moan and Ta Krabey -- and the land surrounding them has been in dispute since the withdrawal of the French from Cambodia in the 1950s. Ta Moan and Ta Krabey, believed built in the 12th century during the Khmer empire, sit on a 10-meter (32-ft) escarpment about 12 km (seven miles) apart in a poorly demarcated, land mine-riddled stretch of land far off the tourist trails. Before Friday, Thailand and Cambodia jointly patrolled the area largely without incident. Thailand says the temples are in its Surin province according to a 1947 map. Cambodia rejects that and says they are in its Oddar Meanchey province. A Thai-Cambodian Joint Commission on Demarcation for Land Boundary has jointly surveyed the area since 2000 but has yet to come to a decision on demarcation. In 2008, Thailand accused Cambodia of turning the temples into an army base. The Khmer empire once encompassed large parts of central Thailand, southern Laos and southern Vietnam before shrinking to present-day Cambodia. Years of war left the area studded with landmines and many temple ruins have been neglected. ASEAN CHAIR URGES RESTRAINT Cambodian Defense Ministry spokesman Chhum Sucheat described the clashes as more intense than Friday's fighting and accused Thailand of operating "spy planes" in the area. Both sides blame each other for starting the fighting, the most severe since three Thais and eight Cambodians were killed and dozens of people wounded over February 4-7 in the bloodiest border clashes in nearly two decades. As part of a ceasefire deal, Thailand and Cambodia agreed on February 22 to allow unarmed military observers from Indonesia to be posted along their border. But that arrangement -- brokered at a meeting of the Association for South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Jakarta at the urging of the United Nations -- has yet to be put in place. Thailand said international observers were not required, insisting the neighbors should resolve the issue bilaterally. " There's a mechanism in place, so there's no need to run crying to ASEAN or the international community," Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya told reporters late on Friday in Bangkok. He was responding a letter from Cambodia addressed to ASEAN, stating that Thailand had staged "a large-scale attack". Thailand and Cambodia have been locked in a standoff since July 2008, when Preah Vihear was granted UNESCO World Heritage status, which Thailand opposed on the grounds that the land around the temple had never been demarcated. An international court awarded the temple to Cambodia 49 years ago but both countries lay claim to a 4.6 sq km (1.8 sq mile) patch of land around it. Singapore's Foreign Ministry said it was "deeply concerned" and called for restraint and dialogue. Indonesia, the current chair of ASEAN, urged both sides to stop fighting. The reasons behind this year's deadly skirmishes are murky, and both sides typically blame each other, but the border dispute has become a bone of contention in Thailand's fractious domestic politics. Some analysts say some hawkish Thai generals and their ultra-nationalist allies, who wear the Thai king's color of yellow at protests, may be trying to create a pretext to stage a coup and cancel elections expected in June or July. Others say it may be a breakdown in communication at a time of strained relations between the neighbors and unease after a rumor of an imminent military coup swirled in Thailand on Thursday. The army has dismissed the rumors as baseless. Thailand and Cambodia are both members of the ASEAN regional grouping which plans to form a European-style single market by 2015.
