Army Chief Gen Anupong Paojinda made an inspection trip to the Thai-Cambodian border where the Preah Vihear temple is located on Tuesday morning.
The visit was made after it was reported Cambodia had reinforced more troops, 130mm artillerly pieces and T-54 tanks to the border.
News media in Cambodia earlier reported that there were unusual movements of Thai troops in expectation that the situation would become tense after Thailand asked the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) to review the registration of the Preah Vihear temple as a world heritage site.
Cambodian Foreign Minister Hor Namhong also said his country was ready for any situation which might follow the reinforcement of troops on the Thai side of the border.
