Thailand's Fifth Television reported that the scheduled meeting between the Cambodian and Thai military was indefinitely postponed due to repeated violations of the ceasefire agreement at night and on the morning of the 29th. The meeting was initially postponed from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., and then indefinitely postponed as Colonel Poheng, Commander of the 4th Military Zone of Cambodia, and Colonel Esomoun, Commander of the 5th Military Zone of Cambodia, did not attend.
This noon, the Thai military stated that its forces continued to deal with the ongoing cross-border attacks by the Cambodian army.

— Sergeant Apirong Songphu (3rd Infantry Battalion, 8th Infantry Division, Thai Army)
— Private Thretay Kla-jang-thong (2nd Air Defense Artillery Battalion, 2nd Air Defense Artillery Division, Thai Army)
So far, the number of Thai military casualties has risen to 14 since the border conflict between Thailand and Cambodia broke out on July 24.
It is reported that the commander of the Second Military Zone of Thailand met with the deputy commander of the Fourth Military Zone of Cambodia at the Chong Chai border checkpoint to discuss the ceasefire agreement.
After discussion, the Thai and Cambodian sides reached the following consensus:
1. Ceasefire
2. Prohibition of shooting at civilians
3. No deployment of additional troops
4. Prohibition of military movements
5. Establishment of a four-member joint coordination team to resolve issues
