The Khao Phra Wiharn Park in Si Sa Ket has been closed to tourists indefinitely following the border tension between Thailand and Cambodia, the director-general of the National Park, Animal and Forest Conservation Department said Thursday.

Kasemsan Jinnawaso, said the park, which is located next to the entrance to the Preah Vihear Hindu temple, will be closed to tourists until the situation improved.

Both Thai and Cambodian troops have been beefed up along the border after Thailand decided to register its opposition to the listing of the Hindu temple as a world heritage site.
