Trat signed a memorandum of understanding on trade and investment cooperation with Koh Kong and Sihanoukville in Cambodia yesterday. The MoU is the extension of an agreement reached three years ago, which succeeded in shoring up falling agricultural produce prices.
The interior and foreign ministries of both countries have approved the development of a sister cities relationship.
Yoy Seuy, deputy governor of Koh Kong province, which is opposite Trat, said bilateral trade and investment could become smoother with help from government agencies.
Koh Kong has grown rapidly with an influx of foreign investment in business, energy, tourism and construction.
Sihanoukville governor Say Hak said the province aims to become the top tourism destination in Cambodia, boasting beaches, an airport, and a deep-sea port.

It is amazing that AH Yoy Seuy the deputy governor of Koh Kong province is so blind to the Thai invasion of Cambodian land and inch by inch the Thai settlers are making their way into Koh Kong from the base of the mountain like a star fish!
All Thai aggression is disguise as MoU such as in Khmer Phrea Vihear temple case and now in Koh Kong province!
This is the first step of Thaksin and Hun Sen Plan
For this MoU how much say Hak & K Kong Governor received as Tea(Teuk Te) ??
We don't need any foreign investment. we want to be poor forever...
Soon or later they Thai will say Koh Kong belong to Thai.
Watch my words!
8:02PM use you brain stupid! do not blind like the HUN!
We need investment from good people not from thieves and robber!
Use your brain one for a while stupid!
The Thai should put Thaksin behind bars for corruption. If you don't want your country to fall.

The Khmer Empire In North East Thailand
The Khmer Empire had its beginnings in 790 when King Jayavarman conquered the Kingdoms in Kambuja until then under the yoke of the Javanese and founded four capitals. The consecration rites of Jayavarman at Mount Julen in 802 formalised the introduction of him as the God King and thereafter the cult of the devaraja. Hariharalaya was the first settlement of the new Kingdom.
By 889 this Khmer Empire held control as far as Ubon in I 'san in Thailand. By 944 after battles with the Cham, the Empire extented east to the Annamite chain, to Burma [ Myanmar ] to the west and the Gulf of Siam in the South. In the early 11th C this Empire expanded and levied tribute from Southern Thailand. By 1144 it expanded to the Burmese Kingdom of Pagan in the west, to the coast of Vietnam in the east and to the Malay Peninsula in the South.
During the reign of Jayavarman 7th from 1181-1220 the Khmer Empire expanded further to include the Korat Plain, the Menan Valley, Southern Malaysia, Northern Laos and Champa. It was not until 1430 when the Tai Ayutthaya Kingdom invaded Cambodia and sacked the capital of Angkor and enslaved its inhabitants and looted its wealth, did the decline of the Khmer Empire commence.
The Khmer 1000 Year Old Highways From Cambodia Into I 'san
By the time of King Jayavarman 7th, of Kambuja [ Cambodia ], there were 7 major road systems leading into Thailand. These were paved by laterite, were wide and when necessary, built on embankments, sometimes up to 20 feet tall. One such road left the North Gate at Angkor Thom and reached Phimai in I ‘san [ 140 miles away ]. There were stopovers on route and these included, Ta Muen Thom and Phnom Rung [ all listed as major places of interest for tourism ].
