Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama said Sunday that he would attend a meeting of the Unesco World Heritage Committee on Thursday and Friday.

He said he would attend the meeting to discuss the dispute over Cambodia's attempt to register the Preah Vihear Temple as a World Heritage site.

Thailand is opposing the attempt on ground that the ruins were located on a disputed land at Thailand's border.

Noppadon said he hopes to reach an agreement for mutual benefits with Cambodia over the issue.

Whether the fucken Thaicong government wants to oppose Khmer Phrea Vihear temple listing as a World Heritage site is solely the fucken problem of the Thaicong government!

Cambodian government has the responsibility to develop any Khmer territory into a full blown economic development without any consent or discussion from the fucken Thaicong government!

The fucken Thaicong government can go on whining, complaining, and opposing and there is nothing the fucken Thaicong government can do about it because the whole issue of Khmer Preah Vihear temple deal with Cambodian sovereignty and it is non negotiable!

By the way, there is no such thing as mutual benefit because Cambodian government never agrees anything to the Thaicong demand which aim to violate Cambodian sovereignty!

So much for the Thaicong theory and logic!

The trouble maker Thailand is actin up again. They are trying to inflate the problem for a bargaining chip. This is only 4.6km border and they make it like they are going to lose the whole Thailand.
