The Thai government claims they have.
'The government has accused Cambodia of deliberately placing landmines along the Thai-Cambodian border after a Thai soldier was badly injured by one of the devices on Wednesday.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Thani Thongphakdi expressed disappointment over the incident as relations between the two countries had improved recently.
"This was clearly in violation of Thai sovereignty and seriously injured a Thai soldier," Mr Thani said.
Sgt Chatree Kaewprasan, of the 23rd Infantry Division, was on a foot patrol near the 4.6 sq km disputed area on Wednesday night when he stepped on a landmine, which blew off his right leg.
Thailand hoped Cambodia would act to prevent similar future incidents in the future, Mr Thani said.'
The Cambodian government is yet to issue a response.
