Preah Vihear is a 900-year-old temple that has raised fears of a military clash between Thailand and Cambodia, the Southeast Asian neighbors. Soldiers were deployed along the border area sides and a standoff continued for nearly six weeks.

The two sides have blamed each other for violating each other’s territory where the Preah Vihear temple is located.

The ancient Hindu temple sits on a jungle-clad escarpment that forms the natural boundary between the two countries. The International Court of Justice awarded the ruins to Cambodia in a 1962 ruling that has rankled many Thais ever since.

Tensions flared in July after the ancient temple became a UNESCO world heritage site, irking nationalists in Thailand who still claim ownership of the site.
