Thailand flipflopping - again - on Preah Vihear listing as UNESCO World Heritage site

PM, Cambodian leader clear the air on Preah Vihear

(BangkokPost.com) – Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama has disclosed that Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej managed to discuss the issue on Preah Vihear temple with his Cambodian counterpart on the sidelines, whilst attending the Greater Mekong Sub-region summit.

Thailand is not against Cambodia’s proposal to list Preah Vihear temple as a UNESCO World Heritage site as long as the surrounding land is not included as part of the request," he said. "I’m sure there won’t be any problems if we come to an agreement that Thailand will not be forced to give up land to Cambodia as a result of this request.”

Mr Samak also reportedly met with Chinese leader Wen Jiabao where he expressed full support for the Olympics 2008 which China will be hosting. Mr Samak vowed to do his best to ensure that the Olympics flame passes Thailand without a hitch.

I can feel the Thaicong government is trying to use China to put pressure on AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave government on the Khmer Preah Vihear temple issue!

The Thaicong are thieves by nature!

Don't trust no one to help us anymore. China stood and effortless to stop its Maoist Pol Pot while they slaughtered its own. The Chinese can't be trusted and so does the white race. I hate China.

God bless my motherland, Cambodia.

What is the big deal. First) you straight out the demarcation; and second) you start developing.

You can't just build anywhere you please around the border without knowing whose land you are building on. Get it?
