Led by the People's Alliance for Democracy, about 5,000 people gathered in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Wednesday, June 18, 2008 and accused the minister, Noppadon Pattama, of giving in territory near the temple to the Cambodians in exchange for business concessions. The Preah Vihear temple issue resurfaced as Cambodia was preparing to apply to UNESCO for the temple to be listed as a World Heritage Site, a process that requires the inclusion of a map.
