Cambodian-Thai relations have been strained by competing claims to the border area near an 11th-century mountaintop temple called Preah Vihear. The world court awarded the temple to Cambodia in 1962, but sovereignty over the surrounding land has never been clearly resolved.

Several gun battles in the area since 2008 have killed at least seven Thai and Cambodian soldiers, and both sides have refused to back away from their positions, each saying it has the rightful claim to the land.

Cambodia has complained to Google that the map features a border that would put half the temple in Thailand, says China Daily.
Now it wants Google to replace the existing map with one the government says was accepted in 1908 by Thailand, says the story.
