The Royal Thai Army (RTA) rejects allegations from Phnom Penh that Thai forces are blocking the return of tens of thousands of displaced people.
The claims are "grossly exaggerated" and misrepresent the situation along the border, said RTA spokesman Maj Gen Winthai Suvaree.
The figures cited by Cambodian officials, including government spokesman Pen Bona, were far from reality, he added.
While Cambodia claimed that more than 35,000 people were unable to return home, and even suggested total displacement figures in the hundreds of thousands, the army said the actual number of affected individuals was only in the low thousands.
The affected communities are located in just three villages in Sa Kaeo province, all areas which fall under Thai sovereignty, said Maj Gen Winthai.
He also addressed accusations Thai troops had used barbed wire and shipping containers to obstruct movement, saying that such measures were temporary and aimed purely at reasserting control and organising land use.
Maj Gen Winthai said the measures were brought in following recent clashes to prevent renewed confrontations and ensure stability along the frontier.
The deployment of obstacles and the maintenance of troop positions, he said, comply with the ceasefire agreement reached on Dec 27 last year, which requires both sides to hold their ground in previously agreed positions.
On Cambodia's call for a meeting of the Thai-Cambodian Joint Boundary Commission (JBC), he said the army was keen on bilateral mechanisms but current conditions are not currently conducive to immediate boundary demarcation.
The army also urged Cambodia to communicate responsibly, warning distorted information could undermine mutual trust and damage the overall atmosphere of cooperation between the two countries.
