General Srey Doeuk and your soldiers are our heros!
It doesn't look like fighting, it is more like a show.
What is the rationale behind the story, ordinary khmers may not know that.
Siam is not ready to give up.
Watch them like a hawk!!!
Siames are known for sweet talk when it is in situation but turn their rear end for Khmers to kiss when they are in advantages.
Siam paak waan taer hua jai damm meut!
Thais = smiling face = evil
Thai said they will not enter to Veal Intry again. But we should use all means to protect this point. Don't believe Siam anymore.
No pictures?
Siam may use beutiful girls or pretty gays to pursuad our officials to follow their idea. Be careful!
Do you want to know what behind this show of war?. It's ietnam's goal of idochina dream. Vietnam want both cambodian and thai fight each other until both country economic become weak. Vietnamese government do not want other investors, chinese, korean and japanese, to invest in cambodia. The war between khmer and thai will keep those investor out of cambodia. So it will be only vietnamese investor stay.
NONSENSE TALK, MAN. IT WAS PURELY ABOUT SIAM WANTING MORE OF KHMER LANDS. YOU SIEM BETTER ADMIT IT.
I wish we had more leaders like Srey Doek. He is brave, calm, competent, and cool. I wish I had his qualities ( i don't count his past).
Wow, does anyone have his mobile phone ?

Do you know that hun sen has sold Kosh Kong province to Taksin who is thai?. Thai will late claim Kosh Kong belong to them. When you and other don't know will protest and go to war with thai again then.
good bush walking area....i'll go there one day.
TO 8:27AM,
I don't think so. Please don't make it worse than it is now. I don't live in Cambodia, but there is "NO" such int'l law to buy other country's land to incorporate yours own. However, Khmers in Kampuchea Krom can fight Hanoi and gain independence. But CAN NOT incorporate into Cambodia.
If there is an int'l law to buy other country's land to call your own. Don't you think the wealthiest countries in the world like Monaco, Luxembourg, and Switzerland would still sit idle on their funds? I don't think so, they would be out to Africa, South America, or Cambodia right now!
Let Thaksin invest in Koh Kong, Khmers in Koh Kong need jobs. Once they make make moneys, they will educate their childrens and the standard of living will be high.
Cambodia needs more investment to lift her people out of paverty and despair.
I love you all Khmers,

Wether Taksin can buy Kosh Kong from hun sen and incorporate into thailand or not it depends on the purchase agreement between the two guys. They don't want us and the public to know. We'll know when there is a new conflict in the future.
