The trade volume between Cambodia and Thailand reached 1.279 billion U.S. dollars in 2006, 34.4 percent higher than 2005, local media quoted Cambodian Minister of Commerce Cham Prasidh as saying on Tuesday.
This is a remarkable and proud trade volume between the two countries, Cambodian language newspaper Kampuchea Thmey Daily quoted Cham Prasidh as saying.
The good trade relations between Cambodia and Thailand resulted from the border-crossing trade agreement which was approved between the two countries in February 2006, Cham Prasidh added.
Recently, Thailand has provided 340 kinds of products for selling in Cambodia without having to pay tax or paying very low tax, he said at a Thai Products Fair held in Phnom Penh from May 19 to 22.
High quality and luxurious products from Thailand are popular in Cambodian market, including construction materials, cosmetics, household goods, food, clothes, stationery, decoration materials and souvenir, the newspaper said.

We have to recognize that Cambodians buy nearly everything coming from abroad. Thai products are the most present in Cambodia.
The trade has increased, yes, but, the increase is that Thai imports to Cambodia. Cambodia is the net buyers of thai products. We will never be rich by buying consumption prodcuts from other countries. Cosmetics from Thailand, vegetables from Vietnam.
The 340 products taxes preference for Cambodia should encourage Cambodians to produce sth.
When Radio Free Asia inform about contrymen who can produce car, solar bike, my tear flows through my face, my heart beat faster to share happiniess with them and think that finally Cambodians can produce sth.
Let's bring hope to Cambodia.

10:30, the problem is we are not
up to speed yet in productivity.
That is why we have trade deficits.
However, I am very optimistic that
we will be rolling after 2010. Keep
in mind that the Thai has a huge
huge lead advantage over us. They
have not suffered total
destruction from the war as we
did. So if you want to be fair,
just be patient. We will get there
soon or later no matter what.
And to whom you respond? Who is 10:30? The public see only 10:27 PM.
11:54 What will happen in 2010 that will improve Cambodia's productivity?
Oil maybe? Oil did not improve Nigeria, Mexico, Or Venezuela's productivity.
The minute the CPP write somethings I am laughing every time.
Yeahh prodductivity in each every bank of each member of CPP. A One big Happy Family with their relatives in Yuan Hanoi.
These people are not that educated but they are good in robbing the national treasures.
12:41, I am not even put oil on
the table because we don't have
any confirmation. By 2010, 60%+
of our infrastructure will have
been completed as we planned. As
a result, this will get our agro
industry roling. Right now, it
is only about the size of the
garment industry, and I estimated
its full size to be 6 times or
bigger than the garment industry.
Hence, the speed will pickup at a
much faster rate toward its full
capacity after 2010, and the trade
deficit will be reduced to an
acceptable level sometime after
2020 or so. Hell, right now we
barely produced enough to have
something for the reserve. How
much exports are you expecting?
2:05, I just want our exports to be about the same as our imports so we won't get any poorer. Are you not too optimistic that by "2010 60%+of our infrastructure will have been completed as we planned"? Compare to our neighbors, our roads are in small numbers and in bad shapes, our utilities are also expensive, irrigations are still very medival, our education system does not produce a lot a skill labors if you can effort education, and corruption add more cost to our products and services.
Yes, and I do shared you concern
about trade deficit. And it is not
fair to compare our infrastructure
to the Thai's. I don't think we
will be any where near them for
quite some times, and I don't care
who's in charge, unless the oil
money is rolling in, but I don't
want to talk oil at this time.
As for education system, we got
enough to get by, the problem
is motivating people to learn.
You can tell that the US has
reasonable education system, but
most of Ah Khmer-Gringoes are
not benefit from it. Furthermore,
I don't see us go into hitech
until our agro sectors is in full
swing either.
As for corruption, there has not
been any complain from any
corporations here, only a few mum's
and pop's bussinesses, but as our
revenue increased, corruption will
decreased because we will have
more money to pay our law
enforcers better and to fight it.
It aint free to fight corruption,
you know.
Now since you begin to speak with some education, so why don't you care who is in charge? I sthere a motivation behind your claims?
As for education system, Cambodia doe snot have enough, stop bragging, pal, most of your guys are still dumb down with your useless degrees do no good for Cambodia, taht's why you bunch of idiots are creating more corruptions in the country. Furtheremore stop attacking those kampuchea krom people as your pretext, you are insane to believe Yuan Propaganda unless you are sent from Yuan Hanoi. I can see through from Las Vegas, pal, so stop using those people as your pretext.
Stop BS, pal. No matter how many Laws your guy screate as long as the laws are not being enforced, bingo only the poor innocence will be jailed whereas the law breakers like Hun Sen or you will go free.

There is some upfront cost to fight corruptions but the economics benefits will pay for it. How much does it cost to pass the Anti-corruption? It does not cost much to prosecute a few cases as an example to send fear to the rest to the wrong doers. For example, currently China govtmt. is sentencing the Mayor of Shanghai for corruption. But there is a lack of will in Cambodia.
You got it in reverse. Don't wait till the revenue increase to reduce corruption. You reduce corruption and the revenue will follows.
Who are these corporate going to complain to about corruption-the courts, the police, the govtmt? They are one and the sam- rule by the same group of people?
Whether you speak of roads or education level, which we lack still since most Cambodian are illerate, it is fair to compare us against the neighbors because in a global village and very business run a comparison to find the lowest cost producers.
I am not sure who you were hanging with when you were here but most of most the "Ah Khmer-Gringoes" I hang with have a lease a 4 years degree.
High tech? I would be happy if Cambodia can engage in light industry. Simple toys making like China and Vietnam for example.
I was not born or ever live in Cambodia, I don't know how much your CPP guys can use to fight the corruption amongs yours, but I do know that your guys are thugs with army and money, so you know the answers to your own question.
I have followed South East Asian countries not long ago, and Cambodia's troubles caught my eyes.
I did my homework and keep following the problems around the world from economy to politics.
I don't care what China does, because China cannot be used as an example whereas the democracy is being denied.
Now you admitted that Cambodia is lacking of WILL to enforce the law, thereby the law breakers are stil above the laws. So how are you going to fight CORRUPTIONS? Corruptions in Cambodia starting from the top onto the bottom, and why do try to ignore?
Stop dragging your racist slur calling the kampuchea Krom people as Khmer Gringoes to make you points, because you only depicted yourself as a racist, which only make your arguement not reliable; and furthermore you can be accused as Yuan Hanoi's spy.
You won't dare to call Yuan Hanoi like Nguyen Van Son aka Hok Lundi, with a racist slur, I bet you won't. If you do, then you'd better run fast.
Just debate with facts if you can stand.
5:12, we did removed several
corrupted high ranking officials
for extortion and others, and that
is why our corruption is lowered.
As for the Anti-corruption laws,
it is only a piece of paper, but
once everyone is happy with the
draft they will pass it, whenever,
that will be. So far, Ah Sam Nazi
don't want to work on it. He's
more interested in other things.
And yes, I am aware of the removal
of the ShangHai mayor.
And as I said, the corruption, will
be lowered as we go. Recently, Four
Point hotel is invested in a huge
hotel here. It appears to me as a
15 millions USD+ value. Would
anyone risk that sum of money if
they can't bare the corruption or
have no faith in us to strive for
the better? I don't think so. Major
corporation is not stupid. They
often paid for professional
investigator and researchers before
they decide to okay the investment.
Sometime I am using that as a gage
of corruption in other places also.
As for our education, I am
constantly sampling out some of our
kids to see what they gain from it,
I am very proud to tell you that
I have seen improvement year after
year. And yes, we still have a long
way to go yet. Nevertheless, I am
happy with what we are getting for
each of our dollar spend.
As for Ah Khmer-Gringo education
abroad, I am just telling you from
articles that I read on the net
from time to time, and up to date,
I have not found one article that
I am satisfied with yet. I
remembered KI, not long ago, have
an article that related to Ah
Khmer-Gringo education abroad.
Have you seen it?
And yes, that is why I said I don't
expected us to enter the hitech
for a while, even polymers toys
and goods is still not on the
horizon yet. Maybe assembly of
plastic dolls and toys cars and
truck from its components, yes.
Anyhow, our primary goal at the
moment is trying to get basic
need for everyone. Creating
middle classes is something
that will come next, when we nearly
achieved our primary goal. We
shouln't think too far ahead and
fight over it, because it will
only make people in between
suffers.
6:32 AM. Your CPP's children are mostly spoiled and engaging with barbaric acts. You cannot brag for something you don't have of course you are one of the corruptions' main guy, what Nguyen Van Son aka Hok Lundi does is always good to you.
Talking is cheap because the results proved it negative. All the money Cambodia borrowed is not much going to Cambodia but your one big family's pockets.
Well, the kids are taking it from
your stupid hollywood dvd, so stop
complaining.
Why are your stupid kids is my problem? You are an idiot for buying hollywood dvd for them to watch.
My parents didn't even have a cable for me to watch with million bucks they have.
You need to shoot your stupid head for being so idiot.
Well, if your stupid Ah Khmer-Gringoes didn't brought it over,
we won't have that problem. Isn't
that right?
Why ah kantorb 9:02 AM can't even spell? Yeahh ah/mee kantorb go back to your mama's hole in Hanoi leave Khmers alone.
Let's bomb Yuon and Cambodia but keep only Laos. These animals Yuon and Khmers deserve to all die. They're too evils. Too many evil Yuon all over so just bomb them all. kill all yuon and khmers.
To 12:01PM!
Who the fucks are you? You are fucken Thaicong or Loa piece of shit! The fucken Thaicong glory day will come to an end! All of your Thaicong ain't shit unless Uncle SAM and the European step in to help your fucken ass out on everything!ahahhahahh. Why don't you observe all the fucken Thaicong products on the market right now! All of your fucken useless Thaicong should thank Uncle SAM and the European for licensing and transferring their technology to the Thaicong to produce all kind of consumer products!
Uncle SAM and European are afraid to licensing their technology to Cambodia and this is the reason why Cambodian people don't have much choice except to buy every fucken shit from Thailane! Time will change of this and soon Cambodia will have the capability to produce virtually every fucken consumer products on the market today!
