Soldiers from Thailand walk past Cambodian soldiers near the Preah Vihaer templeFrom The Telegraph:
Thailand and Cambodia have sent more troops to the scene of a tense border confrontation, as hundreds of villagers fled the area.
At the centre of the dispute is Preah Vihear, the 900 year old ruin of a Hindu temple that stands spectacularly on a mountain ridge between the two countries. It is officially in Cambodia, but many Thai nationalists do not see it that way.
The latest confrontation started on Tuesday, when three Thai protestors managed to cross barbed wire to reach the ancient site. The military escalation quickly followed.
Yesterday there were 400 Thai troops facing 800 Cambodians – twice as many as the day before.

ICJ ruled only the Temple belongs to Cambodia not the land. That's the Fact.
