Can the dispute between Thailand and Cambodia be resolved?

Thailand has evacuated more than 500 of its nationals from Cambodia and downgraded diplomatic relations following riots triggered by a row over a famous temple.

The anti-Thai riots, which left one Cambodian man dead and seven people injured, were caused by comments attributed to a Thai TV star, Suvanant Kongying, who suggested Cambodia's famed Angkor Wat temple complex belonged to Thailand.

However, the actress denied the comments and said they were spoken by a character she played in a TV drama two years ago.

The Thai government's action came after Cambodian protesters attacked the Thai embassy and Thai-owned businesses in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh on Wednesday.

On Thursday, angry Thais took to the streets of Bangkok to protest and burn Cambodian flags, prompting Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej to call for calm.

Analysts said it was unclear what really prompted the rioting, though Cambodian politicians may have been hoping to stir up nationalist sentiment ahead of July elections.
