Thai FM spokesman says the international community has no problem seeing through their hidden agenda
The Thai Foreign Ministry has strongly denied Cambodia's allegation that Thai troops had damaged the ancient Preah Vihear Temple during the border shootout middle of this month.
"The Thai army reiterated to us that in accordance with strict orders, Thai troops have not used heavy firearms or rocket launchers near the temple of Pra Viharn (Preah Vihear) and never fired at the temple," the ministry said in the statement.
On the contrary, according to the Thai Foreign Ministry statement, the rocketpropelled grenades, or RPG, were launched by the Cambodian side near the Twin Stupas and landed in the Pra Viharn National Park on the Thai side of the border.
The Thai side has kept for evidence two unexploded Cambodian rocket rounds that two unexploded Cambodian rocket rounds had been kept for evidence.
The Thai Foreign Ministry's statement came one day after Phnom Penh lodged a complaint with the Unesco, accusing Thai troops of damaging the ancient Preah Vihear Temple during the border shootout, which killed one Thai soldier and two Cambodian troops.
Phay Siphan, spokesman for Cambodia's Council of Ministers, said on Sunday that a staircase and a sculpture of the mythical Naga creature were damaged by rocket fire at the 11thcentury Khmer ruins.
Phy Siphan said, "The temple was intentionally damaged by Thai troops, because we found remnants of grenades... near the temple and there were no Cambodian soldiers stationed nearby."
Cambodia made the accusation just days after Prime Minister Hun Sen met his Thai Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat on the side of the Beijing's AsiaEurope Meeting, or Asem. The outcome of the bilateral meeting in Beijing was billed as a positive forward.
Thai FM's spokesman Tharit Jarungwat described the latest accusations, which came just days after the two leaders met, as Cambodia's political ploy. He said the international community has no problem seeing through their hidden agenda.
Every time when Cambodia responded positively, they usually said differently a day later, Tharit said.
However, he said the Thai side has clear evidence about the incident and is ready to clarify all issues relating to the ThaiCambodian border dispute on any stage.
Meanwhile, Thailand's UN Ambassador Don Pramudwinai, meanwhile, said he was not informed about Cambodia's plan to accuse its neighbouring country of damaging Preah Vihear to the United Nations (UN).

Thai has very good intention to move in their soldier near the temple that leads to the fighting;
Negotiation to resolve the conflict and the complaint about temple damage are different things. The temple is under safeguard of world heritage comity.
We, Thailand, know nothing except rejection. We reject to invade Cabodia land. We reject gunfire. We reject destroying temple. We reject Thai soldiers arrested....

We don't expect anything from ignorant Thai. Born ignorant an die ignorant.
Thai is loaded with B.S.
writer of this article tried to connect to Thai's faked history textbook that says that Cambodia can not be trusted. No surprise about his intension. Thais always claimed that only their statements are correct, even their spokemen sometimes spoke different languages for the same issues
The world is awared of the Thai's intention. You can clearly see from their actions by moving their soldliers into Cambodia's territory. We can called it thieves and bandits. So, Thais are nothing but thugs.
It is all well understood, ok?
It is all well understood. When a criminal commits a criminal deed all he/she can do is struggle to escape responsibility. And this is what Thais have been doing.
Thais would deny, lie and twist all known truths regardless of how shameful it may be. Thais will step on their own shame and fight on, or struggle and deny to evade responsibility.
This damn shameless low race. I despise it greatly and see it as pure garbage.
May God bless this people the Khmers.
It is a common mentality and characters of the ordinary criminals and psychopath. Such people never feel of regret or guilt no matter how bad or cruel their act can be and they are never wrong. Only other people are wrong but not them and no matter. It reminds about what happened with the killing field. There are millions of innocent people persecuted in the most atrocious way but no one is responsible,
Not the yuons who trained Khmer rouge to kill Khmer,
Not the Siamese who cooperated with the yuons to demolish Khmer resistance against Yuons/Khmer rouge to share the bloody cake with the yuons,
Not the pol pot, ieng sary, keuv samphan who entrained by yuons to kill Khmer,
Not sihanouk who worked with china and yuons to bring genocide against Khmer people,
Not French, USA, not bloc communism and red brain intellectuals who help to bring Khmer rouge to power.
Not those red brain intellectuals who continue to persecute Khmer people through their thinking and pencils.
Of course, Non is responsible beside Khmer people who were killed by these criminals.
Be cursed Suck world with its crimes(criminals) !!!
the thai are always question and feel paranoid about cambodia's international approaches to get the unesco etc to list preah vihear as risky area. i guess, it shows that they (thailand) is fearing their own violation by the world community. one has to wonder out loud. god bless cambodia.
We, Thailand, know nothing except Cambodia agression and invasion the thai's territories. The history show Thai-land was alway at the vietnam's border. And we just claim our Thai-Land back. War or not peace in the region of Southeast Asia, it up to you, we're ready to declare war! The 4th Indochina War! Ia Thai vs Khmer.
This should be up to the Khmer in Thailand to file the complain about the damage to the temple, not the monkeys in Cambodia. They have no business on that mountain.
I dont want to defend Angkor or Khmer territory for yuons but I wonder why the fuke Siamese need to be a stupid clown and ill psycho each time while it opens its mouth to talk. Dont the Siamese claimed to be supper intelligent of all and above all. Or may be these bandits have nothing else in the brain than these things.
How a pity clown pouk ah bandit siamese
What is this Thai foreign spokesman's name? Based on my reading this Thai guy is Thai national extremist, who does respect the World Court verdict that Preah Vichear is Cambodia's, because the still use the word Preah viharn. Anytime when you have people like this guy and his group of people country, there will be anarchic and the world cannot be in peace because no respect of no one.
Thailand is the only nation flips flop lying, twisting and hiding the truth.
Thais were Tai refugees running from the Mongol and Khmers helped them as Khmer alphabets, Khmer vowels and Khmer numerals have been using by Thais since the date they were helped by Khmers.
Yeah, but which Khmer help the Thai? Khmer in Vietnam is not the same as Khmer in Thailand, Lao, or Cambodia. They are all divided and have their own interests.

Bitch,, accept the true. Your gov. (siem criminal) is teaching u things that not true, lie. Damn shameless low race. You should read more. Oh animal can’t read!!!! lolzzz. Animal is still animal. It’s not easy to talk with those “siem animal”.
Whoever wrote this comment is uneducated. Know nothing about history at all.
What is Thailand afraid of? The answer is: Thailand is afraid of being a shame when the world community intervenes. They don't want a third party to mediate or find out the truth that they are the aggressor, invader and the bully
That is right, all the news come out from Thai is propaganda. Khmer report the fact. It is easy to report the fact, what happen we send exactly as it happened, for Thai they need time to twisted, cover their step, which sometime confuse themselve, and then send out the P R O P A G A N D A.
Notice we're always complaint about the Thais; wether it be the intrusions or the latest flair of damaged Naga statue, but you'll never heard the Thais complaint first. Reason being.... we Khmer will attempt at all cost to abide by the International Law in order to avoid further bloodshed. The Thais is only good at rebuttal after the issues is brought forth by us. The world should take into account that the complainant must of have a reasonable grounds to complain, otherwise.... why are they complaining for?
I think that the ASEAN, Hague, UN and UNESCO needs to stop and shrug their shoulders and intervene. Isn't that their responsibilities?
Full of bullshot from both sides. Why don't both sides install video camera to capture these events if they are so honest. Both are the lyers to gain political advantages. It cost so small to install cameras so the event can be shown to yhe UN. They don't want to because they can lie to the public. And we the ignorances believ everything they said.
