Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya (pictured) said on Thursday he will visit Si Sa Ket province to give morale support to Thai soldiers in the Thai-Cambodian border area this Sunday.

Mr Kasit said he would listen to their problems and hear about obstacles they face in protecting Thailand's sovereignty, and look into the encroachment issues near the disputed border around Preah Vihear temple.

"After Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva instructed me to explain the Thai-Cambodian disputed border on national television at the beginning of the week, I'm confident that most people understand the situation.

''Some people may not understand my explanation but people can have different views," the foreign minister said.
