The Nation (Thailand)
The Foreign Ministry Thursday lodged an official protest with Cambodia over sovereignty violation in the overlapping area near Preah Vihear temple.
Virachai Plasai, Director General of Treaties and Legal Affairs summoned Cambodia's Ambassador Thailand Ung Sean to take an aide-memoire after Phnom Penh dispatched a number of armed forces the area in question over a month ago.
The protest was made as Cambodia has violated a memorandum of understanding signed by both sides in 2000 which barred two countries from making any changes in the area before the boundary demarcation, Virachai said.

From what I have known about modern history of Cambodia, only Thailand have invaded Cambodia.
HUN SEN go! I would like to see you act tough with your neiggbors. Don't just be tough only on your own fellow Khmers. Go pound the Thai right on their heads. It's about time HUN SEN shows the Thai enough is enough!!!!!!!!!
neighbors*
Yeah, but what's in it for PM Hun Sen, 12:41? I hope you don't expect him to do anything for you for free. Do you have any cash to spare?
Dude this is just to protect our lands being encroached by these thieves. Cash or not, you don't want keep loosing inch by inch. All these inches add up will be meters by meters. HUN SEN go kill them!!!!! Go doggy go!
cambodia has the rights to protect our preah vihear and guards it from intruders like the historical enemy, siems!!! we can not keep preah vihear isolated any longer like in the past. must bring preah vihear and other khmer ancient temple to tourists and the world to see and enjoy. god bless cambodia.
Let do it! take what is our's! F! the border thing..what is ours is ours! F the Thais!!!
I commend any Cambodian troop movement to protect Cambodian sovereignty over Cambodian Phrea Vihear temple! It is the duty of every Cambodian leader to protect Cambodian sovereignty!
Of all the wrong things that Prime Minister Hun Sen did wrong in the past and this one he did right! I praise Prime Minister Hun Sen!
I am giving thumb up for PM HUN SEN!
Let's see how brave Hun Xen is! We should expect him to act according to his honorable title, samdech dejo? who the hell gave him such an invaluable title? If he cannot act accordingly, he's nothing but cocky vulgar man among his own people.
The main purpose of this complaint is to make the voice heard. Thai does not worry about that portion of land. When Thai moved troops in Cambodian territory, Hun Sen govt kept quiet for the exchange of good neighbor relationship.
Cambodia govt should consider to rule the country by state and international laws, do not rule by guns in the same way it got to power in 1979.
By whatever means he must be brave enough to act as a ruler of one sovereign nation.
all cambodian citizens should stand behind their gov't decision when it comes to protecting national sovereignty, period.
I bet with anyone who thought tha hun sen would dare to attack the THAI.This P.M appear to be strong only against his unarmed citizen.His troop build up at preah vihear is just his bluff.
Hey, stop trying to subject our PM to any more risk here. I mean he did enough for Khmer people. We don't want to go back to Year-Zero no more; get it?
Hun Xen have done nothing to better the life of Cambodian people. What he has done so far, he's done for his own benefit and his master the Yuons.
As long he can stay in power such a cocky puppet will anything.
And the build up of soldiers at Preah Vihear is just Hun Xen tactical plan to gain votes in the next election.
4:38 AM & 4:36 AM you both are correct! while everyone is so concentrating on Preah Vihear, they completely forgot about Hun Sen's propaganda. After all these years, why is it that Hun Sen is now taking appropriate actions to protect our temple? It's VOTING season folks!
Hun Sen only can protest and protect a small piece of land against the big powerful Thai, but he doesn't dare to touch his boss, Hanoi. He let Hanoi grab hectares of land and he didn't do a shit.
Go to fight with Thai before Thai crashes Ah Stupid Khmer leaders Hun Sen, Sihanouk, Heng Samrin, Chea Sim, etc... These idiot moreon stupid khmer leaders are helping to destroy Cambodia and her citizens. Time to wake up all Khmers. Your leaders are so stupid.
Cambodia deserves to take and grab the land from other countries and their own people because the khmer government are so dumb.
what is there to worry about if thailand or the local thai authority didn't have a bad intention on cambodia. cambodia is doing this on our soil and we did not violate thai sovereignty, so what is the fuss and worries all about by the thai. does their higher gov't know about this. so what is the big deal. have problem? take it to court. cambodia can not allow thailand to walk all over us anymore by in the past years as we were preoccupied by civil war, etc. and didn't have time and energy to focus on on border areas like preah vihear like now. so get used to cambodia, especially when we are now beginning to focus more and more on safeguarding our borders and land. we are no different from thailand in this regards. get used to it.
