- Clashes had erupted along the Thailand-Cambodia border due to a dispute over the Ta Muen Thom temple.
- The conflict centres on the 11th-century Hindu temple Preah Vihear, a UNESCO World Heritage site claimed by both nations.
- The International Court of Justice (ICJ) decided in 1962 and reaffirmed in 2011 that the temple belongs to Cambodia, but Thailand disputes the surrounding of the land.
- Built by the Khmer Empire, the temple remains a symbol of cultural pride and a hotspot for nationalist tensions.
