Thailand's army brought military attachés from 23 countries as well as ambassadors and charge d'affaires from 11 countries to Sisaket province over the week to show the damages caused by Cambodian shelling in their recent clashes.

Long-simmering tensions between Thailand and Cambodia escalated to deadly violence on July 24, setting off five days of military clashes at multiple spots along the roughly 800-kilometer (500 mile) border.

Thailand's army sent home two Cambodian soldiers from a group of 20 on Friday, ahead of a key meeting in Malaysia next week where defence ministers and military commanders will hold talks aimed at maintaining a ceasefire along their disputed border.
