Thailand: 26,000-square-km of overlapping (sea?) borders under dispute with Cambodia

Thailand to talk with Cambodia over JDA project

The Nation (Thailand)

Foreign Minister Noppadol Pattama said Saturday that the Thai Foreign Ministry and Energy Ministry would negotiate with Cambodian to launch a project of joint development areas.

Noppadol said Thailand and Cambodia have some 26,000 square kilometres of overlapping areas along the border and the areas were rich with natural gas and oil resources.

He said it was estimated that the areas had natural gas worth Bt3.5 trillion and oil worth Bt1.5 trillion so the two country should jointly develop the areas.

He said talks would be held how to divide benefits from the project between the two countries.

"Joint Development" is music to my ear, and I am sure it is music to our ancestors' ear as well. Brothers should worked together and sticked together no matter what.

FUCKING THAIKONG! we pump our water, they pump their. We protect our temple, they protect their. What the fuck do they want? we already gave more half size of Thailand.

Cambodia should join force with Burma to threat thaikong for national sovereignty.

I hate being a loser. I prefer die to see them constantly kicking our assholes.

Well, this is just a family fight.

Burma will not join the fight, but if asked, I sure they will help mediate the dispute.

There is no such thing as the fucken "white zone" or the "buffer zone" or the "overlapping boundary" and the fucken Thaicong are making it up to have a piece of Cambodian richness! There is a clear define Cambodian boundary according to the map of 1904 and 1907 when the Thaicong singed the border treaty with the French!

The fucken Thaicong can go to hell for their blind ambition!

White zone, gray zone, brown zone, or whatever is up to us and our brother Thai to decide together. We can make anything happen.

Oh well! Fuck you and fuck the Thaicong too! If the fucken Thaicong continues to pimp Cambodia for money and it isn't going to happen!

cambodia, don't forget to use the older maps as thailand tend to use the new treaties or whatever to negotiate their dispute with cambodia, cambodia should stick with old, but legitimate maps of the agreements.

Yeah, but we are not going to fight with our brother for every little crap of discrepancy. We'll give some and we take some.
