"[Thai] Gen Vichit [Yathip] said a [Thai] soldier cracked under the strain and fired shots into the air, prompting the exchange of gunfire"
The Foreign Ministry yesterday protested to the Cambodian government for what it sees as aggression and a violation of Thailand's sovereignty and territorial integrity committed by Cambodian soldiers. On Friday, Thai and Cambodian soldiers in the border area of Si Sa Ket province clashed.

Two Thai and three one Cambodian soldiers were wounded.

Cambodian charge d'affaires to Bangkok Ouk Sophorn was summoned last night to meet permanent secretary Virasakdi Futrakul at the ministry and was given an aide-memoire.

Speaking after the one-hour meeting, Mr Virasakdi said Thailand had protested to Cambodia after its troops opened fire on the Thai troops.

''The Thai government demands the Cambodian government ensure that a similar incident does not recur because this incident might affect attempts by both countries to seek a peaceful solution to the Thai-Cambodian border dispute,'' said Mr Virasakdi.

The Thai para-military rangers from Suranaree Task Force were patrolling along the Thai-Cambodian border inside Thai territory near Phu Ma Khua last Friday.

When they arrived in an area about one kilometre to the west of Preah Vihear temple, they discovered an intrusion into Thai territory by a group of Cambodian soldiers who were digging trenches in the area around Preah Vihear temple.

Four unarmed Thai para-military rangers were told to notify the Cambodian soldiers that they had intruded into Thai territory and asked them to leave.

But the Cambodian soldiers consulted their superiors by radio and were heard to receive instructions to fire at the Thai soldiers.

The Cambodian troops started firing their guns into the air. The Thai para-military rangers decided to leave the scene when the Cambodian soldiers opened fire at them, prompting the Thai unit stationed nearby to return fire to protect the Thai troops.

''The Thai government considers the intrusion of the Cambodian soldiers into Thailand's territory a serious violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

''Firing on unarmed Thai para-military rangers is a brutal and aggressive act and is contrary to the spirit of friendly relations between the two countries,'' said the aide-memoire.

Mr Virasakdi said digging trenches violated the agreement between the two armed forces made during the Special Meeting of the Thailand-Cambodia Regional Committee in Surin province on Aug 13, that both sides must refrain from digging trenches close to the Preah Vihear.

The Cambodians' action also violated the agreement between the two foreign ministers for soldiers from the two sides to exercise restraint, he said.

''Mr Ouk Sophorn was still adamant that the incident occurred inside Cambodian territory, according to their report,'' he said.

The Thai ambassador to Phnom Penh was summoned to a protest by the Cambodian government.

Former deputy army chief Vichit Yathip, who has a close relationship with Cambodian military leaders, said he had spoken to Cambodian Defence Minister Tea Banh about the clash.

Gen Vichit said a soldier cracked under the strain and fired shots into the air, prompting the exchange of gunfire.

Now the Khmer version:

It was 4 Thai lady boy fucking each other in the ass near the temple. So the Cambodian shot them and wounded one of them. They run naked into the jungle.

The brutal sexual intercourse orgy trigger the our soldier to fire. It was too much to bear.

PS: One of the lady boy was identify as King Bhumibol's son.

Karen fighters attack village

>>TAK : Dozens of heavily-armed fighters from the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA) stormed a border village in Umphang district yesterday and attacked a local leader's house, border authorities said. The soldiers, from the 907th battalion of the DKBA, raided Mae Klong Khee village in tambon Mokro yesterday, sealing off the house of Mokro kamnan Boonlert Duanmaeklong.

The village is about three kilometres from the Thai-Burmese border.

Apparently Mr Boonlert had been tipped off about what was coming and fled his home before the soldiers arrived.

It was not clear what had motivated the DKBA attack.

The troops opened fire on his house with heavy weapons, including rocket-launchers. Villagers living nearby ran for their lives.

The soldiers were divided into two units, with one sealing off Mae Klong Khee and the other blocking road access to the village.

As they retreated, they burned down maize and farm produce in the barns of Thai villagers on the Burmese side opposite Mae Klong Khee. About 70% of the produce was damaged.

The land had been leased by Thai villagers for farming.

The attackers also shot at the tyres of passing maize-transport vehicles, reportedly injuring a construction company worker.

There were no other details.

Following the attack, a task force from the 4th Infantry Regiment and officers from the 347th border patrol police were despatched to bolster security in the village and on the Thai-Burmese border.

A letter is being prepared by the Thai-Burma Border Township Committee (TBC) for the local Burmese authorities to protest the DKBA action. The DKBA is an ally of the Burmese government.

It was reported that many villagers were now too frightened to return home. According to border sources, it was suspected that the raid had something to do with a September brawl between DKBA soldiers and local teenagers.

A group of DKBA soldiers stopped by at the village to buy liquor and got involved in a fight with some teenagers. During the brawl a grenade exploded, killing two DKBA members.

Meanwhile, it was reported that DKBA and Burmese troops were deploying reinforcements opposite Umphang district in preparation for an attack on the Karen National Union (KNU).

Why does Thailand make it seem like Cambodia is the aggressor when they were the ones who entered Khmer territory? Cambodia is just protecting it's territory. Why can't they seem to realize that Preah Vihear belongs to Cambodia? Now they're having clashes with Burma. Thailand you need to stop being arrogant and do what is right for your country and for the world because we all know you are dirty scumbags on the face of this earth and your race should be extinct.

1:22 PM is Siames. She/he, may be a it, is a bad Siames just like most of them are. They shot Khmer, and then they blame Khmer. They send their troop to Khmer and then call for negotiation. We want to take them to the UN they want to talk bilateral, when there is bilateral talking taking place they shot Khmer again. Khmer is alway on the receiving end. The victimes alway get accused off. ASEAN is a do nothing. UN is unreliable. What is Khmer to do? We are being push to the corner now. Fight or die. And there are many way to fight. No need to be center and frontal. Thai have been using dirty tricks such as openned fire on Khmer soldiers and then accused Khmer. So do not feel bad to fight back. Fight for our survival. Fight Thai gaine good deed to heaven.

Please don't listen to Ah Fake-Oversea. They want to cause trouble for Cambodia so that they can steal it from all of us, and then bury in their mass graves as did Pol Pot.

It's a trick. It's a trick. It's trick. Just ignore those losers.

The solution is a 50/50 deal settlement. Everyone wins, and ASEAN continues to move forward.

No one would believe the claim. Thai soldiers were UNARMED patrolling the disputed borders! Even a Khmer kid could make up a better story.

Another Thai commander said Thai soldiers MISJUDGED the Khmer soldiers and the incident happened. When among Thais themself, the stories were different.

Liars you are Siams. Even kids cannot believe you patrolling the border with no guns. Idiots!

Come on Khmer people why are you still being manipulated by Yuon government. Don't you see each make Khmer hate the other why they're stealing Cambodia bit by bit. The majority of Cambodians are Vietnamese disguised as Khmer. If the Thai government are manipulative, what do you think the CPP are? You know the goof troll with his oversea problem that is an example of a Yuon disguised as Khmer. That goof had so much problem with oversea Khmer but his family always wanted to migrate to oversea and have a better education.
