In a separate issue, the country says it has evidence to prove that Thailand's aircraft trespassed onto Cambodian territorial skies twice.
Cambodia claims it has an advantage over Thailand in the International Court of Justice's trial on Preah Vihear Temple and said whatever the court decides should not put Cambodia at a disadvantage.
Cambodian Foreign Affairs Minister Hor Namhong told reporters in Phnom Penh yesterday that Cambodia's maps and documents for border demarcation are more widely accepted on the international stage.
He added Cambodia will not be affected by whatever the court decides because it is the plaintiff in the case.
In a separate issue, Cambodia Express News, or CEN, reported that two Thai aircraft trespassed on Cambodian territorial sky twice on May 31 and yesterday.
The agency went on to say 22 armed Thai soldiers even inspected a construction site on Cambodian territory even though it was asked not to do so.
Cambodia regarded the action as trespassing on its territory.
Meanwhile, the Thai Air Force Spokesperson Air Vice Marshal Monthon Satchukorn argued that Thai military aircraft did not fly over Cambodian skies.
He said the Air Force has a flight record that can prove the aircraft were flying above Thailand.
