See what I told you; in fact, Khmer needs our investments and developments and assistance. In return, we do not want anything, but mutual cooperation with the Angkor Wat and Preah Vihear Temples. These temples also belong to us (Thailand).
its not assistance. Its business buddy. Cambodia pay for Thailand's electricity, so yes in return you want money. Electricty is not free, therefore Electricity = $$$cost.
So not wanting anything in return is a blatant contradiction and fallacy or reasoning. Those who reason false are stupid, there is a person who just reasoned false, therefore he is stupid.
These temples belong to you too (Thailand)? How so??? explain your logic my friend. Are you claiming now you are also descendants of Khmer/"Khom" people? Thought before you wanted nothing to do with Khmer culture or heritage.
now see there is money involve you want a share. Make up your mind. If you say you Khmer too go ahead and start revising your history :) see how you get the reaction from your country.
Thai investment in cambodia doesn't mean shit. Cambodia can sustain itself without thai intervention or assistant. We have enough foreign investment interest from other countries such as korea and china. Thai arrogance and cockiness will be their downfall in the region. Peace time means that thai need to be more competitive since their neighbors are growing faster than they are each day.
good for you, help cambodia; this is how your reconcile with u. spoil us. continue to work toward reconciliation with cambodia. i like that.
thai seems so proud that invested in cambodia. i don't think most cambodian people are so thrill about thai and viet investment inside. although, cambodia welcomes investments from every country that have any interest in cambodia, i don't think viets and thais investments are that welcome here in cambodia. most cambodian people prefer huge investments from the USA, Europe, Japan, Korea, China and more over thailand and vietnam. so stop thinking that we are that thrill with you viet and thai investment, but we can allow it; so stop the silly rhetoric about cambodia. in cambodia's opinion, vietnam and thailand is not that powerful countries we talked about in the world. when cambodia talk about powerful countries, we talk about the USA, European nations, Japan, China, Korea, Russia, and a few others, but most definitely not vietnam and thailand. go home and stay in your own country, viets and thais. if viets and thais really interested in cambodia and want to invest there, we welcome you, but just don't want obnoxious about it because cambodia can ask you people to go back home. viets and thais investments is not the same and genuine as other nations. other potential investors (beside viets and thais) please don't be alarm just because cambodia tell viets and thais to take their investment back home; it doesn't apply to you better people. cambodia loves to see more USA, Canada, Europe, Japan, Korea, China, Russia investments in cambodia. you guys are welcomes by the people of cambodia all the time, any time.
