WorldThai-Cambodian tensions rise again

Thailand is moving forward with a permanent fence along sections of its border with Cambodia. Relations between the two Southeast Asian neighbors remain highly strained, almost a year after their worst border clashes in decades. Their long-running territorial dispute involves colonial-era maps and ancient religious sites, above all the Preah Vihear temple. The frontier remains heavily militarized and crossings are still closed, fueling fears that fighting could resume.
