A Thai website has said on 27th July that Mr. Rapi Bongboobkit, the governor of Sisaket province, has approved a budget of 4 million Baht ($US100,000) for the construction of 120 bunkers a long the borders in three communes such as Sao Thungchai commune, Phu Phamork commune and Khanthalak commune which is opposite Preah Vihear temple.

According to the same website, 40 to 50 bunkers will be built in each commune.

The Thai authority ordered the building of these bunkers in anticipation of hostilities with Cambodian troops over border disputes. In the last few weeks Thai soldiers had built many bunkers and dug many trenches, some of which were built or dug inside the so-called "overlapping areas" and were later demanded to be dismantled or closed by Cambodian troops.

According to the website, currently, 60% of the bunkers had been completed.
