Make sure Thai soldiers do not walk on Khmer soil as there are still So many landmines littered there. It is very dangerous to step one step out of the usual track.

perhaps the log/tree poachers planted these mines in retaliation to the Thai army for killing log poachers encroaching
in Thailand without warnings.

Did Thai soldiers used cluster bombs on Khmer soldiers? Therefore, I think those mines are belong to Thailand.

"Bot countries are signatories to the Ottawa Treaty, which bans the use and stockpiling of landmines." "Defence Minister Sukumpol Suwanatat also insisted that the landmines found at the scene of the explosion did not belong to Thailand." Can the Defence Minister be clear and state we do not have landmines at all, so they can't be ours, it now reads as "this type don't belong to us".
