泰國威脅，如果世界遺產委員會接受了柬埔寨所提的柏威夏神廟管理計畫，泰國將辭去世界遺產委員會委員國的職務。

根據泰國郵報報導指出，泰國總理阿披實對目前正在巴西舉行的世遺委員會發出強烈的抗議訊息。

泰國自然資源與環境部長蘇威‧坤奇提正率領泰國代表團在巴西與會。

泰國郵報引述蘇威的話，指出柬埔寨針對此座印度教神廟與周邊地域所提出的管理計畫，涵蓋了泰柬兩國間達1平方公里的爭議領土。

據蘇威部長回報總理的信息，他相信柬埔寨已經在世遺委員會中，取得若干委員國支持他們所提出的管理計畫。

柬埔寨是因為他們在2008年成功讓這座印度教神廟登錄為世界遺產，並因此被要求提出相關的管理計畫送請世遺委員會審議。

Thailand is threatening to resign its membership of the World Heritage Committee if it approves Cambodia's management plan for Preah Vihear temple.

The Bangkok Post reports Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has sent this strong message to the current meeting of the committee in Brazil.

Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suwit Khunkitti is heading the Thai delegation in Brasilia.

The Post quotes him as saying that the plan to manage the Hindu temple and surrounding areas included a square kilometre of the disputed land.

Mr Suwit told the prime minister he believed Cambodia has won the backing of several committee members for its plan.

Cambodia was asked to submit the plan for approval after the Hindu temple was listed as a world heritage site in 2008.
