Thai demonstrators demand that Cambodia give back Preah Vihear, Siem Reap and Battambang provinces: Phay Siphan

Preah Vihear listing likely

Xinhua & The Mekong Times

Cambodia’s attempt to list Preah Vihear temple as a World Heritage Site during the current UNESCO session in Canada’s Quebec City is expected to be successful, according to Thailand’s World Heritage Committee.

The prediction comes as Thai protestors at the closed border point nearest the cliff top temple have been demanding that Cambodia “return” Preah Vihear, Siem Reap, and Battambang provinces to Thailand, a Cambodian official said yesterday.

Chairman of the Thai World Heritage Committee, Pongpol Adireksarn, is currently attending the UNESCO session. He said that over half of the 21 World Heritage Committee members had told him informally that they support the Cambodian government’s registration of the ancient temple as a World Heritage Site as it has “untiringly pursued the issue on a constant basis,” the official Thai News Agency reported yesterday.

He quoted committee members as telling him that Phnom Penh has also invited them to visit the temple, in contrast to vacillating Thailand, whose “policy was uncertain,” the report said.

The issue expected to be resolved by the World Heritage Committee on Sunday night.

The International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), an international NGO dedicated to conserving the world’s historic monuments and sites, had distributed reports to the committee, saying that the listing of the temple alone as a World Heritage Site would pose no problem, said Pongpol.

But the ICOMOS recommended that both Cambodia and Thailand should jointly propose that the temple’s surrounding area should also be included as a World Heritage Site.

Thai Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama, attending the session as an observer, is expected to oppose the listing and ask for a delay because of the Thai Administrative Court’s temporary injunction against the June 17 cabinet approval of the joint communiqué he signed with Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sok An.

Noppadon said in Quebec City that he would prepare a letter and lobby the committee to delay the listing of the temple.

Phay Siphan, spokesman for the Cambodian Council of Ministers, was optimistic Preah Vihear will be listed by UNESCO, despite Thailand’s withdrawal of support, as the UN body accepted it in principal in 2007.

UNESCO has no jurisdiction to resolve border issues but is obliged to conserve important heritage sites, he underlined, adding that the listing of the temple would be the “just” decision.

He added that, while the situation at the temple is calm, around 20 demonstrators on the Thai side of the border remain, bellowing that Thailand has lost 1 km of land to Cambodia in a deal between leaders.

The demonstrators have also been roaring demands that Cambodia “give back Preah Vihear, Siem Reap and Battambang provinces,” said Phay Siphan, adding that the border point remains closed.

Hey Siams you wanna bet with Khmers for this issue?
If Preah Vihear won't be listed, we Khmer will give you back all your above demands but if Preah Vihear will be listed, you have to give all Khmer provinces and properties to Cambodia.
If you agree we bet.

Real dilemma Cambodians faced is not Preah Vihear, but being swallowed by concerned Thailand and creeper Vietnam.

I hope the King and CRG see that .

Nothing to say, but idoit siamese! They should return Surin, Si sa ket, Buriram and Sra Kao to Cambodia or have them form a new country like Timor

Battambang, Siem Reap and Sisophon have always been Cambodian territory for centuries...As our King-Father Sihanouk put it..."They are ours as Alsace-Lorraine to France" I suggest that Samdech Hun Sen reclaim Bangkok, Ayuthaya, Sukhothai, Surin, Buriram, Khorat, Sisaket, etc. to join with the Motherland of Cambodia.

The French is no longer here. They were defeated by Vietminh along with all treaties they made in Indochina. Thus, Thailand should get everything back that was giving to France.

What the hell is wrong with Ah Nan Chao Siems? They want the return of Khmer territory, f*ck you ah Nan Chao Siems. You are simply ah Siems, and you will always be known as ah Siems. F*ck all of you. Khmer territory is never meant for ah Nan Chao Siems to rule over. So it is YOU, Ah Nan Chao Siems, that need to get of Khmer territory and return all of the Khmer territory that you detached from Mother Cambodi since the 13th century. F*ck you, Ah Nan Chao Siems, you really need to return to your ancestral of shit holes in Nan Chao, Ah Siems. The Khmer people need to take the inventory of all the provinces detached from Cambodia and reclaim them back.

Dear my belove Khmer People,

Do you know what ah Siam gov't planning to do now?
They want to ask the World Heritage Committees to put our request on hole because we are about to have an election soon. Furthermore, they are asking their own citizens to stay cool and be a little nicer to us. Therefore, please all of my belove Khmer People work hard together to bring this coming election a peaceful one. Also, please stick together no matter what election's result will be. We all want our nation to be a peaceful and successful one which is a great way to attract more international investors come to our country after the election. In addition, please don't let ah Siam look down on us ever again and never be too easy with these greedy and brainwash monkeys Siam.

Best wishes from Superpower Nation!

The Khmer Thai relation was OK in terms of Preah Vihear listing, until these Thai bastards composed of the Thai Democratic party and the PAD started to rock the boat. First these people threw mud at their own goverment that they want to overthrow, and now they want to start a territorial war with Cambodia, by taking Battambang, Siemreap, and Preah Vihear. Tell these Thai lunetics to go to see a psychiatrist, or else go and stick their heads in the sand.

It sounds like a fair demand to me. Cambodia shouldn't be holding on to anything that belonged to its neighbors.

Now we need to build up or upgrade our military like Isareli.

Khmer for ground battle I think we can take the Thai easy. For air assault we need to get SAM or anti-aircraft to shoot or intercept them. Once we can take their air assault we surely beat the Thai very easy. They are not good with ground assault. Even those rebel in Southern Thai can beat the Thai too. They are nothing to long time experience Khmer's solderis.

Go Khmer go!!!!

The fucken Thaicong are such a coward back then in dealing with the European power such as the French! And now they are acting up as if they are so fucken brave to deal with the whole world!

The Thaicong must remember from now on that the world map was drawn up by the European power such as the French and the British! The French and the British are the world superpowers by then and they still do now! If the Thaicong want to challenge the French and the British and they must have the status of the world superpower too!

By the way, Did the Thaicong King knew that there are only Cambodian people live in Siem Reap, Battambang, and Si Sophon and that is why the French were telling the Thaicong to fuck off because it is Cambodian people that the French want to colonize!

The Thaicong documentary is trying to say that it is better for Cambodia to be colonized by the Thaicong then by the French! This is just another Thaicong theory and logic that aim to confuse the world over!

Nice try all you Thaicong mother fucker!

Thai Airlines has stopped flying from West Coast of the U.S because Cambodians are not flying their Airlines, while other airlines are striving with Cambodians American flying to the homeland. Economic boycotting is very effective tools to make a cause. I encourage Cambodians to not using Thai-own businesses in Cambodia such as banks, petrol station, restaurants, hotels ect... Buy Cambodians, help Cambodians!!!
