Thailand and Cambodia will start surveying their common boundary from Si Sa Ket to Surin province next month.

Vasin Teeravechyan, an adviser to Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya, said the boundary survey would follow the agreed minutes of the last two meetings of officials.

''Both countries have agreed that the joint field survey for the fact-finding mission on the condition and locations of boundary pillar 1 in Si Sa Ket to pillar 23 in Surin province could commence from May,'' Mr Vasin said after a two-day Joint Boundary Commission meeting in Phnom Penh earlier this week.

This was the third meeting of the commission. The earlier two meetings were held in November in Siem Reap and in February in Bangkok.
