PHNOM PENH, July 3 (Xinhua) -- The discussion of Preah Vihear temple's possible listing as a UNESCO World Heritage Site will take place as planned, Cambodia's newspaper the Mekong Times Thursday quoted UNESCO officials as saying.
The paper neither named the sources nor elaborated on their remarks.
This week in Quebec, Canada, Thai Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama has personally opposed the Cambodian proposal to put the temple into the UNESCO World Heritage List.
"Thailand's position is that we will oppose the Cambodian proposal to list the temple as a World Heritage Site," he said at the 32nd session of the World Heritage Committee.
Thailand already blocked Cambodia's efforts to list Preah Vihear in both 2006 and 2007 on the grounds that the inscription map included a 4.6 square km area of disputed land.
The centuries-old Preah Vihear temple is situated at the border area between Cambodia and Thailand and currently attracts tens of thousands of visitors from both sides.

HUN SEN you are the man to do this!!
Lets start a protest or demonstraton infront the Thai embassy in PP>.
Lets stand up together KHMERS!!!!!!!!
cambodia will uphold the icj verdict of 1962, period, end of story.
Well, if you want to close the border, do it at the bottom off the mountain, but not on top in Issan province.
1:11AM...I did close the border so that the thais can not come from the thais side. GO there and take a look.
unesco needs to seriously look and study the icj verdict and see that preah vihear is indisputedly belongs to cambodia and go with that to show the siem thugs that they can not be allowed to steal from another sovereigned nation like cambodia. stop condoning illegal intention of thailand on cambodia. this is really a simple decision, considering the icj verdict of 1962 when this same dispute had to go to icj for settlement. what else is new for thailand? nothing!! god bless cambodia.
11:15pm and 11:38pm.
When it come down to confrontation with either YUON or THAI don't count on your P.M.Your P.M is best at oppress you and your people.Don't you realize that ?
thank god, this is why god forbid people like you become prime minister who do not listen or care to listen to the voice of the citizens, especially when it comes to internal affairs. are you mr. know-it-all? did you forget without the people, you have no country? what planet are you from?
personally, i think it is ok to have the difference of opinions and thinking as this can help to open your mind and open you eyes to see and think for the good of cambodia and our khmer citizens. this is why in college they required you to take many courses so you can learn about everything, not just your job. it's good to stay in school and study everything because, yes, it will make you smarter, clever and think analytically. god bless cambodia.
1:16, don't let your eyes deceived you, dude. Don't forget, your boss (the French) is no longer with you.
You will never get it back until you great grand children can fuck you!THAI SEAM KAPII
I do not think the guys who claim themselves Khmer-Issan are the real ones. May be they are thai who pretends to be Khmer-issan in order to fool you guys.
Even so, Thai pretending to be Khmer-Issan is not as bad as French pretending to be Khmer to try to steal the Khmer-Issan's temple from them.
5:32AM
The last time you brought Khmer-Thai, now it's Khmer-Issan.
We don't give a fuck about what ever you say.
Ah guys! Why u include politic with a pitty Pheah Vihear temple which is crying for help like this? We all should go with unity. You do like this!!!!That is why we are mocked down by Siams. Oh my god!!!Poor khmer people. we will never live in peace for ever because of a small part of us. Preah Vihear is a country problem not politic problem. Don't mix it...... Please.
5:32, Khmer-Thai, Khmer-Surin, Khmer-Issan are synonym only. They are all Khmer indigenous to Issan province. Even Lao-Issan and Thai-Issan has a lot of Khmer in them. Furthermore, they are more Khmer then your people in Cambodia, which is really French people. Thus, you can't possibly own Preah Vihear Temple, not to mention you don't even live on mountain like we do.
What do mean we should go with "unity", 8:47? Where are you from? There is no such thing in Cambodia, my friend.
10:08 AM
Yea savage native from Siamland!!!
10:12 AM
That's right tell him.
We have real unity for example, the PAD and Samak party.
Thai king and Thaksin.
South of Thailand and Bangkok.
from reading this blog, i cambodia should take thailand to icj again and let icj deal with them once and for all. icj will use the international laws and the UN laws to punish thailand once and for all. let thailand complain to th icj, and i'm sure icj will be so sick and tired of thailand illegal and contempt of court, and they can order thailand to respect the verdict and if thailand won't i'm sure thailand will have bad consequences with the world at large. this is a good case of a rogue nation harrassing and abusing another soevereigned state. yes, let icj deal them thailand for the last time.
I see more farang's mixed thais and barang mixed khmers. Most thais (those who lead the country) are chinese-farang-khmer-thai-mon-loas-burmese-viets-malays mixed. Who knows if the thai kings' family are ThaisEnglish mixed. I am not sure if ANNA did sleep with thai king and got some offsprings. Anybody confirm? Anyway, the point is the thais are not khmers. The temple can't be given to them. It belongs to Cambodia.
No, the French did not build the Temple. Therefore it can't belong to Cambodia. The builder should owned what they build, and we (Khmer in Issan) did not built our temple for the French.
Dear belove kherm patriot,
recently, the Preah Vihear temple's issues is the hot issues between our country and thailand, we are (khmer people) should take this chance and opportunity to kick the cowardice thai government and thai people out of the international community throught holding a largest and bigest demostration in both cambodia capital (Phnom Penh) and oversea such as USA, Canada, austrailia, others country in the world in order to show the world, international community that thai government and thai people are the nations that always cowardice and cruel peoples in the world who always interfer other neightbourhood countries like us.let we wake up and stand up to protect our country and territory.
regards,
People power (PNP)
Fuck you, Ah Korean motherfuckers. The temple belongs to Khmer people in Issan, not Korea.
10:10 PM....Even if the temple were to be yours, the karmen issan, our thai people keep it. We manage it for you and take all the money and bring it to bangkok. You'll get noting anyway. Hahaha...You are just as khmer as khmers in Cambodia. I forgot you can't even speak karmen. So, what are you? Those khmers will eat you alive if you are not with us.
You are getting warmer, 12:52.
How about this? When you get back on your feet again, you can managed it for us, but right now, let us developed it to get everyone out of poverty, and that is the best we can do.
Thailand's position is??? I do not think so. The position of a handful of royalists position is.... would be the right statement.
The people of Izan's statement is GIVE CHAMLONG THE FINGER!
Chamlong is an outright idiot. The type of man whose government failed, who was personally responsible for sending hundreds of people to their graves in the 70's and the 90's. A man who will come back as agiant rat after reincarnation. This chap does not know anything about democracy. Judges and courts turn the guy on. Though he fears international courts. He even proposes to withdraw from Unesco. Thai people and the Thai government do not have the money to maintain 9 Unesco world heritage sides. Aproxiately 25,000 people live direct and indirect (hotels, maintenance, food vendors etc) from world heritage sides in Thailand. He does not realize that foreigners will no longer come to visit and no money from the Unesco will reach Thailand anymore. Not that he cares. He is there to please a handful of rich people. This gentleman opposes foreign ownership in Thailand, while all his criminal friends who were caught with their hands in the cookie jar have numerous possessions in Europe, the US and indeed. Cambodia. THey will keep overruling the will of the Thai voters. We have to wait till Chamlong, Prem and other people high up in the food chain are gone. Don't worry they have eaten most of their rice and they are old. Everybody knows that the temple is Cambodian. The Thais always fool themselves. That is what happens if you change the constitution as fast as the pampers of the PAD leaders.
