Border flare-ups between Thailand and Cambodia seem endless: Can Asean do something?
A Franco-Siamese treaty signed in 1904 proposed the frontier would follow the watershed line of the Dângrêk Mountains. But another map produced by French officials in 1907 deviated from that, placing key landmarks, including the 11th-century Preah Vihear temple, on the Cambodian side. Thailand later argued the map was never properly approved, while Cambodia maintained it was binding because Siam did not formally object at the time.
