Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva is preparing to establish a legal team to deal with Cambodia's move to seek International Court of Justice (ICJ) clarification over its 1962 ruling on the Preah Vihear Temple.
The premier will raise the issue with his Cabinet at its meeting tomorrow.
A military source, meanwhile, disclosed that in the face of the military build-up near the Prasat Ta Kwai and Prasat Ta Muan Thom on Cambodian soil, Thai Army chief General Prayut Chan-ocha ordered that reinforcements be readied to boost the Thai military strength in the border areas. It added that the rapid-deployment force from the First Army Region was among the chosen reinforcement units.
The border conflict between Thailand and Cambodia has spiralled into clashes from time to time in recent years after Cambodia unilaterally sought to get the Preah Vihear Temple inscribed as a world-heritage site on its soil.
