Quoting from an earlier BP article titled 'Indonesian observers not wanted' :-
"The army chief was firm in his stand that the Thai-Cambodian conflict over the Preah Vihear temple area was a matter to be solved by Thailand and Cambodiam, and that Indonesia or any other third country should not be allowed to be involved."

ASEAN needs more of this kind of interaction to foster the spirit of the ASEAN community. Well done Gen Prayuth , you are indeed a pillar to the institution that is the Thai Army.
