Thailand has asked Cambodia to remove a carved stone and a big sign accusing Thais of being trespassers near Preah Vihear mountain.
Lt-General Tawatchai Samutsakorn, commander of the Second Army Region, said Thai authorities had made the request because the stone and the sign - with golden Cambodian characters accused Thai soldiers and people of being trespassers in Cambodia - were in a disputed area.
The sign is in front of Wat Kaew Sikha Khiri Sawara, a temple near Preah Vihear mountain.
According to an agreement by the two countries, neither Thailand or Cambodia can produce anything to claim possession of the land.
The accusation refers to Lt-General Kanok Netrakavaesana, who led 20 soldiers to the temple on July 15, 2008 before others came to guard the place.
