Cambodia cuts internet from Thailand as tensions grow after border clash
Tensions between Cambodia and Thailand escalated Friday on the eve of talks on a border dispute as Cambodia cut internet services, stopped airing Thai movies and cancelled boxing bouts involving Thai fighters.
Cambodia also closed the Doung international border crossing point, known as Ban Laem on the Thai side, after Thailand had cut its operating hours there by half. The move left dozens of Thai cargo trucks stranded at the border.
The actions marked a deepening of a bilateral spat after a Cambodian soldier died in a clash on May 28, the latest episode in a long-running dispute over the demarcation of the 800-kilometer (500-mile) Thai-Cambodia border.
The two sides are holding talks Saturday in Phnom Penh at a Joint Boundary Commission meeting. While Cambodia will be represented by a minister, the Thai side is led by a former ambassador.

Cambodia turns to World Court over Thailand border disputes
Cambodia said on Sunday it had asked the International Court of Justice to resolve its border disputes with Thailand, after a flare-up in their long-running row led the Southeast Asian neighbours to mobilise troops on both sides of the border.
A Cambodian soldier was killed in a brief skirmish on May 28 in a confrontation over the 820-km (510-mile) frontier, parts of which are undemarcated and claimed by both nations.
"Cambodia chooses a peaceful resolution based on international law through the ICJ mechanism for solving the border dispute," Prime Minister Hun Manet posted on his Facebook page.
The post showed a picture of Deputy Prime Minister Prak Sokhonn holding an envelope that Hun Manet said contained a formal letter to the ICJ in The Hague, often called the World Court.
The Thai Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Cambodia's move. Bangkok has previously said it has never recognised the court's jurisdiction and prefers to settle the disputes through bilateral mechanisms.
Talks on border demarcation over the weekend between officials from both countries were inconclusive with both sides pledging to de-escalate tensions and continue dialogue.
Cambodia said in a statement that it had proposed to Thailand the two countries should jointly bring the four dispute areas to the ICJ and that these areas should no longer be included in future bilateral talks on border demarcation.

Re: Cambodia to take up long-running border dispute with Thailand at UN's top court
I see the Thais are now saying that the Cambodians always stip up the border issues when there are big domestic problems at home, to divert attention away from the issues they are getting flak about. I think that is working equally for the Thai Govt. as well.
Talk is cheap
